Besides the pybench test runs that Robert showed you, we also have a test
suite. It's quite simple and based on doctest.

The main idea is to let Cython compile a .pyx source file to an extension
module and run the doctest strings of that module from Python. This
provides a very comfortable way of comparing test results between Cython
and Python. Here is an example I like:
