> Inspired by @Sukera 's comment a bit up the chain about `test` documentation and @johnmyleswhite 's comments on identifying and trying to tackle issues, I opened a PR to the Julia docs that gives an example workflow on how to use `pkg> test` within one’s own package going through how to create tests, run the tests, and add the test suite to one’s own package.

A fantastic idea.
