+entry points are @code{ChainRulesTestUtils.frule_test},
+@code{ChainRulesTestUtils.rrule_test}, and
+@code{ChainRulesTestUtils.test_scalar}. Currently this is done via testing the
+rules against numerical differentiation (using @code{FiniteDifferences.jl}).
+
+@code{ChainRulesTestUtils.jl} is separated from @code{ChainRulesCore.jl} so that it
+can be a test-only dependency, allowing it to have potentially heavy
+dependencies, while keeping @code{ChainRulesCore.jl} as light-weight as possible.")
