+## Testing
+
+All Pull Requests should, unless impossible/impractical, contain tests for the new functionality.
+
+For a new feature this should be a basic smoke test of the feature plus tests for edge cases and for parameter changes.
+
+For a bug fix there should be at least one test that fails without the fix and passes with it.
