Thanks for taking a look at the tests! And I agree, it's good to specify all the dependencies. I have some comments below. I think there are tests that should be labeled "nonstandard" but currently are not. Once these are corrected, we would then change the following sentence you added: With TeXLive 2016, here are the resources which should be installed to avoid standard tests failure: to something like: Here are the resources which should be installed to avoid failure of tests with the "unreliable:nonstandard" label: Do you agree? For Development.lyx, the section now reads: To run all tests, in the build directory simply run the command ctest. A full, up-to-date TeXLive installation is recommended to run the tests. Otherwise, some tests will fail. Tests with additional requirements are labeled "unreliable:nonstandard" [footnote: With an up-to-date Texlive 2016 installation, there are standard tests which will fail because of missing packages or external applications, see below for a list of those which should be installed to avoid these failures.] I think this could be made more concise. Also, we need to be sure not to confuse two things: (1) a *full* (I think we should mention this, right?) up-to-date TeXLive installation is assumed for tests without the "unreliable:nonstandard" label; and (2) for tests with the "unreliable:nonstandard" label, there are requirements in addition to a full TeXLive installation. Instead of "see below", I would prefer a reference to a label. Currently the list of dependencies you added is under the section "4.3.1.7 What action should you take if a test fails?". I think it would make more sense to add a section before e.g. "Configuring the tests" that is dedicated to "Test dependencies". What do you think? Scott
