The manual states:
Both ‘ert-run-tests-interactively’ and ‘ert-run-tests-batch’ are
implemented on top of the lower-level test handling code in the sections
of ‘ert.el’ labeled “Facilities for running a single test”, “Test
selectors”, and “Facilities for running a whole set of tests”.
If you want to write code that works with ERT tests, you should take
a look at this lower-level code. Symbols that start with ‘ert--’ are
internal to ERT, whereas those that start with ‘ert-’ are meant to be
usable by other code. But there is no mature API yet.
I don't know what's missing before the API can be considered "mature", but
adding some documentation about the API to the manual instead of referring to
the source code would be a good first step.
