            "content": "sadt is a simple implementation of DEP-8 (“automatic as-installed package testing”) test\nrunner.\n\nIt is your responsibility to satisfy tests' dependencies.  sadt won't attempt to install any\nmissing packages.  If a test's dependencies cannot be satisfied by packages that are\ncurrently installed, the test will be skipped.\n\nsadt won't build the package even if a test declares the build-needed restriction.  Instead,\nsuch a test will be skipped.  However, you can build the package manually, and then tell sadt\nto assume that the package is already built using the -b/--built-source-tree.\n\nsadt doesn't implement any virtualisation arrangements, therefore it skips tests that declare\nthe breaks-testbed restriction.\n",
