Hello,

The best way to test your code is to write an ‘operating-system’
declaration that uses the new service and to instantiate it in a VM with
‘guix system vm’.

Once you’ve done that, you can also write an automated test for the new
service; see <https://gnu.org/s/guix/news/guixsd-system-tests.html>.

HTH!
