 3 How to Write Tests
 ********************
 
 ERT lets you define tests in the same way you define functions.  You can
 type ‘ert-deftest’ forms in a buffer and evaluate them there with
 ‘eval-defun’ or ‘compile-defun’, or you can save the file and load it,
 optionally byte-compiling it first.
 
    Just like ‘find-function’ is only able to find where a function was
 defined if the function was loaded from a file, ERT is only able to find
 where a test was defined if the test was loaded from a file.
