+Run the testsuite for couch.js and jquery.couch.js by browsing to this site: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/spec/run.html
+It should work in at least Firefox >= 3.6 and Safari >= 4.0.4.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ * When you change the specs, but your changes have no effect, manually reload the changed spec file in the browser.
+
+ * When the spec that tests erlang views fails, make sure you have enabled erlang views as described here: <http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/EnableErlangViews>
