+\subsection{Test suites}
+
+\begin{description}
+
+\item [plain] 
+Simple, identity, unary function calls for all supported return types and
+calling conventions.
+
+\item [plain\_c++] 
+Similar to plain, but for C++ thiscalls (GNU and MS calling convention).
+
+\item [suite] 
+All combinations of parameter types and counts are tested on void function
+calls. A script written in Python ({\tt mkcase.py}) generates the tests up to
+an upper MAXARG limit.
+
+\item [suite\_floats]
+Based on suite. Test double/float variants with up to 10 arguments.
+
+\item [suite\_x86win32std] 
+All combinations of parameter types and counts are tested on {\tt \_\_stdcall}
+void function calls. A script written in Python ({\tt mkcase.py}) generates
+the tests up to an upper MAXARG limit. This is a x86/Windows only test.
+
+\item [suite\_x86win32fast] 
+All combinations of parameter types and counts are tested on {\tt \_\_fastcall}
+(MS or GNU, depending on the build tool) void function calls.
+A script written in Python ({\tt mkcase.py}) generates the tests up to
+an upper MAXARG limit. This is a x86/Windows only test.
+
+\item [ellipsis]
+All combinations of parameter types and counts are tested on void ellipsis 
+function calls. A script written in Python ({\tt mkcase.py}) generates the 
+tests up to an upper MAXARG limit.
+
+\item [suite2]
+Designed mass test suite for void function calls.
+Tests individual void functions with a varying count of arguments and type.
+
+\item [suite2\_win32std]
+Designed mass test suite for {\tt \_\_stdcall} void function calls.
+Tests individual void functions with a varying count of arguments and type.
+This is a x86/Windows only test.
+
+\item [suite2\_win32fast]
+Designed mass test suite for {\tt \_\_fastcall} (MS or GNU, depending on the build tool) void function calls.
+Tests individual void functions with a varying count of arguments and type.
+This is a x86/Windows only test.
+
+\item [suite3]
+All combinations of parameter types integer, long long, float and double and
+counts are tested on void function calls.
+A script written in Python ({\tt mkcase.py}) generates the tests up to
+an upper MAXARG limit.
+This is a modified version of suite.
+
+\item [call\_suite]
+General purpose test suite combining aspects from all others suites (usually enough for
+testing non-callback calls).
+A script written in Lua generates the tests.
+
+\item [callf]
+Tests the \emph{formatted call} \product{dyncall} C API.
+
+\item [malloc\_wx]
+Tests \emph{writable and executable memory allocation} used by the
+\product{dyncallback} C API.
+
+\item [thunk]
+Tests \emph{callbacks} for the \product{dyncallback} C API.
+
+\item [callback\_plain]
+Simple callback function test (useful for easy debugging of new ports).
+
+\item [callback\_suite]
+Mass test suite for callback function testing. Uses random function argument
+number and type.
+A script written in Lua generates the tests up to a given number of calls and
+type combinations.
+
+\item [resolv\_self]
+Test for dynload library to resolve symbols from application image itself.
