+verify basic functionality of the LDAP libraries and slapd.
+
+ To run all of the tests, type "make test".
+ To run BDB tests, type "make bdb".
+ To run HDB tests, type "make hdb".
+ To run MDB tests, type "make mdb".

+ To run regression tests, type "make regressions"
+
+The test scripts depends on a number of tools commonly available on
+Unix (and Unix-like) systems. While attempts have been made to make
+these scripts reasonably portable, they may not run properly on your
+system. You may have to adjust your path so that compatible versions
+of tools used are available to the scripts and/or you may have to
+install replacement tools. Platform specific hints may be found at:
+ http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9
+
+To modify the debug level the tests run slapd with, set the SLAPD_DEBUG
+environment variable.
+ env SLAPD_DEBUG=1 make test
