First change to the tp/tests subdirectory.  Then run the test script.
For example:

test_scripts/coverage_formatting_info.sh

This prints the texi2any command run, and if there are unexpected results
these should be printed too.  On my system, here is what is printed for that
test:

testdir: coverage/
driving_file: ./coverage//list-of-tests
made result dir: ./coverage//res_parser/

doing test formatting_info, src_file ./coverage//formatting.texi
format_option: 
texi2any.pl formatting_info -> coverage//out_parser/formatting_info
 /usr/bin/perl -w ./..//texi2any.pl  --force --conf-dir ./../t/init/ --conf-dir 
./../init --conf-dir ./../ext -I ./coverage/ -I coverage// -I ./ -I . -I 
built_input --error-limit=1000 -c TEST=1  --output 
coverage//out_parser/formatting_info/ -D 'needcollationcompat Need collation 
compatibility' --info ./coverage//formatting.texi > 
coverage//out_parser/formatting_info/formatting.1 
2>coverage//out_parser/formatting_info/formatting.2

all done, exiting with status 0

If any of the output files or standard output or error differered from what
was expected, this would be printed as a diff afterwards.
