   $ mir-test-tools.<test>
2. As "owner" of a virtual terminal:

   $ sudo mir-test-tools.<test>

`mir-test-tools.smoke-test` runs each of the example clients and reports any that fail, covers both s/w and GL rendering clients

`mir-test-tools.performance-test` runs the Mir performance tests and reports if any fail

`mir-test-tools.gtk3-test` runs a gtk3+ client and reports if it fail

`mir-test-tools.qt-test` runs a Qt client and reports if it fail

`mir-test-tools.sdl2-test` runs an SDL2 client and reports if it fail

`mir-test-tools.bash` is a debugging aid: it starts a bash session with the environment set up for the tests.
