Automated testing
There are a number of automated tests that can be run from the command line.
To execute these tests execute the command make test if you require more verbose output of the results run the command make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
The test results can also be generated in JUnit format adding the option JUNIT=1 to the command line i.e. make test JUNIT=1 or make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 JUNIT=1
JUnit formatting of test resuls requires that the Perl module TAP::Formatters::JUnit is installed on the machine that the tests are run on. Please see installing Perl modules for more details
Hardware tests
The hardware testing is executed using the Perl test framework.
The Perl module IO::Socket::Multicast is required to be installed to be able to execute the hardware tests. Please see installing Perl modules for more details

This should install all of the required modules. note that errors may be reported during the installation process so you should pay attention to what is happening.
