388 ## Running the tests
389
390 All the tests are in the `tests` folder and are run using the [cram]() test
391 system. Once you have cram installed, you can run the tests as
392
393 make
394
395 or
396
397 make tests
398
399 If you are making a feature addition, I'd really appreciate if you can add a
400 test for your feature. Even if you can add a test for an existing feature, that
401 would be great as the tests are currently seriously lagging behind the full
402 functionality of antigen.
