The GNU Build System also has an `installcheck' option (see Basic Installation).

`make check' does tests on the built files that are not yet installed (independent of the host environment, for example previous installed versions). However, `make installcheck' is designed for checking the installed files.

Almost all tests in Gnuastro can also be done on the installed programs (we just have to remove the prefix of their executable and the copied configuration files).

Therefore so far, the main usefulness of `make installcheck' comes with continuous integration services (like Debian's autopkgtest. I recently confronted this in Lintian's testsuite-autopkgtest-missing warning, while packaging Gnuastro for Debian.

It would thus be good to generalize the test script (if possible) to also work on the installed files with `make installcheck'.
