@end float
To get the complete list of tests, run the command:
@example
make fate-list
@end example
You can specify a subset of tests to run by specifying the
corresponding elements from the list with the @code{fate-} prefix,
e.g. as in:
@example
make fate-ffprobe_compact fate-ffprobe_xml
@end example
This makes it easier to run a few tests in case of failure without
running the complete test suite.
To use a custom wrapper to run the test, pass @option{--target-exec} to
@command{configure} or set the @var{TARGET_EXEC} Make variable.
