+Testing
+-------
+
+Elephant uses RT for regression testing, available at:
+
+http://www.cliki.net/RT
+
+Once RT is installed, edit tests/elephant-tests.lisp to make
+*testdb-path* point to somewhere appropriate.  Symlink
+elephant-tests.asd to your asdf systems directory, then run
+
+(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant-tests)
+(in-package :ele-tests)
+(do-all-tests)
+
+this should take about 5 minutes on decent hardware.  Note
+that the "no-eval-initform" test fails, this is a known bug
+which will get fixed in a future release.
