# sbotest
**[sbotest](https://pghvlaans.github.io/sbotools/sbotest/)** is a reverse dependency build tester based on the **[sbotools](https://pghvlaans.github.io/sbotools/)** library.
This **sbotools** companion script is written with script maintainers in mind: Easily build and test scripts with their reverse dependencies in a single command. Maintain an archive for built dependencies and keep it up-to-date with **sbotest --archive-rebuild**.
**sbotest** is configured separately from **sbotools**. See the contents of `/etc/sbotest`, or run **sbotest config** and **sbotest hints** to set options from the command line.
See the man page for more information about options and settings!
