+Testing
+=======
+
+The tests are organized by testing language. Thus Pester tests, which
+are written in the PowerShell language, are in
+[./powershell](./powershell) and xUnit tests, written in C#, are in
+[./csharp](./csharp). The sanity tests for the Full .NET build of
+PowerShell are in [./fullclr](./fullclr), and the third-party
+[shebang][] test is in [./shebang](./shebang).
