Wiki form is preferred now.

If there is a directory "test" in the egg w/ "run.scm" chicken-setup  
will run it.

As to the test framework: see http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/Eggs% 
20Unlimited#Unit-testing

I would suggest 'testeez'. 'testbase' is hard to understand at first,  
but worth the trouble. Unpack, say, 'array-lib', to see an example.
