In either case, the testing is done via @samp{make check}.

+The @code{installcheck} target is available to the user as a way to run
+any tests after the package has been installed. You can add tests to
+this by writing an @code{installcheck-local} target.

The targets that support a local version are @code{all}, @code{info},
@code{dvi}, @code{check}, @code{install-data}, @code{install-exec},
-@code{uninstall}, @code{installdirs} and the various @code{clean}
-targets (@code{mostlyclean}, @code{clean}, @code{distclean}, and
-@code{maintainer-clean}). Note that there are no
+@code{uninstall}, @code{installdirs}, @code{installcheck} and the
+various @code{clean} targets (@code{mostlyclean}, @code{clean},
+@code{distclean}, and @code{maintainer-clean}). Note that there are no
@code{uninstall-exec-local} or @code{uninstall-data-local} targets; just
use @code{uninstall-local}. It doesn't make sense to uninstall just
data or just executables.
