 With the special LALPulsar "test harness", it's not possible to just do for example "./testComputeFstatistic_v2.sh" in the source directory. But don't worry, the special way isn't actually any more difficult, but more general and cleaner!
 
 Here's a first example of how to run a single test:
-
 ```
-$ cd lalpulsar/bin/Fstatistic/
-$ make check TESTS=testComputeFstatistic_v2
-...
-make[3]: Entering directory '/home/karl/Software/lalsuite/lalapps/src/pulsar/Fstatistic'
-PASS: testComputeFstatistic_v2.sh
-============================================================================
-Testsuite summary for LALApps 6.25.1.1
-============================================================================
-# TOTAL: 1
-# PASS:  1
-...
+cd lalpulsar/bin/Fstatistic/
+make check TESTS=testComputeFstatistic_v2
 ```
 
 ## run multiple tests
 
 You can do the same thing to run multiple tests:
 ```
+cd lalpulsar/bin/Fstatistic/
 $ make check TESTS='testComputeFstatistic_v2 testComputeFstatistic_v2_resamp'
-...
-make[3]: Entering directory '/home/karl/Software/lalsuite/lalapps/src/pulsar/Fstatistic'
-PASS: testComputeFstatistic_v2.sh
-PASS: testComputeFstatistic_v2_resamp.sh
-============================================================================
-Testsuite summary for LALApps 6.25.1.1
-============================================================================
-# TOTAL: 2
-# PASS:  2
-...
 ```
 
+Note that you **have** to do it like this: `cd` into the directory containing the test first. If you run from a different directory, you will get a "`failed to create`
