@ -46,23 +46,15 @@ Regression tests
----------------
The regression tests are small pieces of code that test a specific
feature of LLVM or trigger a specific bug in LLVM. They are usually
written in LLVM assembly language, but can be written in other languages
if the test targets a particular language front end (and the appropriate
``--with-llvmgcc`` options were used at ``configure`` time of the
``llvm`` module). These tests are driven by the 'lit' testing tool,
which is part of LLVM.
These code fragments are not complete programs. The code generated from
them is never executed to determine correct behavior.
These code fragment tests are located in the ``llvm/test`` directory.

written in depends on the part of LLVM being tested. These tests are driven by
the :doc:`Lit <CommandGuide/lit>` testing tool (which is part of LLVM), and
are located in the ``llvm/test`` directory.
Typically when a bug is found in LLVM, a regression test containing just
enough code to reproduce the problem should be written and placed
somewhere underneath this directory. In most cases, this will be a small
piece of LLVM assembly language code, often distilled from an actual
application or benchmark.
