Missing Documentation for Running Tests in SPECFEM3D_Globe

[mredenti]

I am unable to find any documentation on how to run tests for SPECFEM3D_Globe within the user manual. Where can I find documentation regarding running tests?
Additionally, it appears that the configuration arguments used when building SPECFEM3D_Globe differ from those required to configure the tests. Would I need to manually setup the test environment to match the build environment?

:) right, there's not much mentioned about those make tests as they are meant for developers to run some unit testing before merging new contributions into the repo. those tests are run during CI/CD testing and just use default compiler setup settings.

from a user perspective, ignore those unit tests, compile the code with your preferred compiler setup for your system and go straight to an example in the EXAMPLES/.. folder and run one. you can then compare if the outputted seismograms match those provided in the example's REF_SEIS/ folder.

@danielpeter Thank you, that's clear. I was afraid my installation went wrong. I will move on to compare against reference solutions
