The command "meson test" is used in the Meson build system to run the tests associated with a project.
When you build a project using Meson, you can also define tests to ensure that the project functions correctly. These tests are written in a separate testing framework like Pytest, CTest, or any other framework supported by Meson.
The "meson test" command locates and executes these tests. It typically compiles the project, generates any necessary test executables, and runs the tests. The output of the tests, including any failures or errors, is displayed in the terminal.
By running "meson test", you can easily check if the project's functionality is working as expected or identify any issues or regressions. This command is usually executed after building a project to validate its correctness.
