The intent is to provide a means of making very simple tests for correctness of software designed to compute a variety of functions. The testing can be done automatically. The data provided is generally skimpy, and might not test the algorithm over a suitably wide range. It does, however, provide a small amount of reassurance that a given computation is (or is not) computing the appropriate quantity, and doing so reasonably accurately.
