### Using self contained healthcheks: testers

As of Big Sister rev 0.98 so called "self contained" healthchecks do exist. Self contained healthchecks are coupled with the `testers` command which can be accessed from the command line interface.

The testers command is used to query self contained healthcheks for the syntax and arguments available on the system where the command is issued. By default, the output is given in ascii text. Depending on the commandline options and software installed on your system, XML and man page are also valid output formats.

The testers command is located under the `{bigsister-root}/bin/ directory`. Please read the section on testers in the reference part of this manual for a detailed description.
