 <title>NixOS Tests</title>
 <para>
  When you add some feature to NixOS, you should write a test for it. NixOS
  tests are kept in the directory
  <filename
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/tests">nixos/tests</filename>,
  and are executed (using Nix) by a testing framework that automatically starts
  one or more virtual machines containing the NixOS system(s) required for the
  test.
