+ <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.
