Simply load +'localtest.html' and the unit tests should be run automatically, with results +displayed on the console. Tests can be re-run using the 'test' command. + +It also creates a function 'testCommands()' to be run at a JS prompt, which +enables the test commands for debugging purposes. + + +## Firefox + +GCLI's test suite integrates with Mochitest and runs automatically on each test +run.
