# Tests

Cargo can run your tests with the `cargo test` command. Cargo looks for tests to run in two places: in each of your `src` files and any tests in `tests/`. Tests in your `src` files should be unit tests and documentation tests. Tests in `tests/` should be integration-style tests. As such, you’ll need to import your crates into the files in `tests`.

Here’s an example of running `cargo test` in our package, which currently has no tests:

    $ cargo test
       Compiling regex v1.5.0 (https://github.com/rust-lang/regex.git#9f9f693)
       Compiling hello_world v0.1.0 (file:///path/to/package/hello_world)
         Running target/test/hello_world-9c2b65bbb79eabce

    running 0 tests

    test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

If your package had tests, you would see more output with the correct number of tests.

You can also run a specific test by passing a filter:

    $ cargo test foo

This will run any test with `foo` in its name.

`cargo test` runs additional checks as well. It will compile any examples you’ve included to ensure they still compile. It also runs documentation tests to ensure your code samples from documentation comments compile. Please see the testing guide in the Rust documentation for a general view of writing and organizing tests. See Cargo Targets: Tests to learn more about different styles of tests in Cargo.
