Subject: asdf package libs and test code usage

Hi

I have been wanting to try out babel. The process got so painful, I have 
forgotten why I wanted it.

Anyway,
babel depends on trivial-features and alexandria
trivial-features depends on uffi-grovel

So I got those either from direct tar download link from cliki or from 
the darcs repo pointed by some page

Whenever I get a lib, i like running its unit tests before i do anything 
with it. With the above libs i am left with two questions/issues

Where can i find details on how to run tests on libs that seem to be 
packaged using asdf and also package their testing code using asdf.
What sort of magic incantation of asdf operate load-op test-op etc
is required to run their tests correctly.
(I have downloaded most of the unit testing libs out there cause every 
lib i download seems to require a particular type of unit testing lib)

I have tried a few things that weren't satisfactory.

I am asking this cause when I tried for testing trivial-features it 
complained  something about cffi-grovel:grovel-file

So I want to make sure I run things the way they are meant to before I 
post more details on whats not working for me.

Appreciate any help.
