<div class="paragraph"><p>The <a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/common_test/write_test_chapter.html">Common Test user guide</a>
is the best place to learn how to write tests. Erlang.mk
requires that file names for test suites end with <em>_SUITE.erl</em>
and that the files be located in the <em>$(TEST_DIR)</em> directory.
This defaults to <em>test/</em>.</p></div>

You can use it to set Common Test hooks, for example:</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>CT_SUITES</code> variable can be used to override what
Common Test suites Erlang.mk will be aware of. It does
not normally need to be set as Erlang.mk will find the
test suites automatically.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The name of the suite is the part before <code>_SUITE.erl</code>.
If the file is named <em>http_SUITE.erl</em>, the test suite
is <code>http</code>:</p></div>
