+==================
+Pluma has several test that can be run after compilation. Run them by issueing "make check". However there are a couple of requirements that need to be satified before they will pass.
+
+* You need the gsettings schemas installed for some tests to be able to run.
+* You need to mount sftp://localhost/ with gvfs-mount for one test to pass.
+
+If test fail and you have setup the above correctly then please file a bug report as described below.
