In an email thread on the bitcoin-dev mailing list, a user named Niels Thijssen asked for information on the tests performed during installation/upgrade/compilation of the software for a full bitcoin node. Another user named Alex responded with some tips on building bitcoind, stating that running "make check" runs unit tests and explaining that there are unit tests written in C++ and higher level tests written in Python. Alex also noted that the configure script generated by running autogen.sh performs compatibility checks for the compiler and other tooling. The email exchange ended with a disclaimer about the confidentiality of the information being shared.
