So-called unitary tests allow the test suite to check the correct functioning of the Matlab functions contained in Dynare. To add a unitary test you need to
1. add the keyword ` % --*-- Unitary tests --*--` at the end of the `function` header to tell the testsuite that the file contains unitary tests.
1. Add the particular tests at the end of the file (either after a `return`or the closing `end`) by
a. Starting a test with `%@test:INTEGER`
b. Adding a Matlab test code that provides a pass/fail indicator `T` that takes on `true` if the test passed.
c. Closing the test with `%@eof:INTEGER`

1. Starting a test with `%@test:INTEGER`
2. Adding a Matlab test code that provides a pass/fail indicator `T` that takes on `true` if the test passed.
3. Closing the test with `%@eof:INTEGER`
where `INTEGER` denotes the number of the test.

You can also put a unit test after the closing `end`, but in this case you will need to preface each line with `%$`. See e.g. https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dseries/-/commit/be4a4d39c125b92ee84ef876d86e6ec947c522b8
