-<h3>Self-test JUnit XML Output</h3>
+<h3>New test-related make targets</h3>
 
-<p>This release adds a new make target <tt>junitfiles</tt> which if necessary
-runs the self-tests and then converts the TAP (Perl Test-Anything-Protocol)
-output files (as generated by the <tt>tapfiles</tt> target) into the more
-commonly-recognized JUnit XML format. The program that performs this conversion
-needs the Perl module <q><tt>XML::Generator</tt></q> to have been installed.</p>
+<p>This release adds several new make targets intended for use by developers
+and Continuous Integration systems which simplify the task of running the
+built-in self-test programs and viewing the results. Since these targets are
+intended for limited use they can have requirements for the build host which
+go beyond the standard minimum set needed to build and run Base.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<h4><tt>test-results</tt> &mdash; Summarize test results</h4>
+
+<p>The new make target <tt>test-results</tt> will run the self-tests if
+necessary to generate a TAP file for each test, then summarizes the TAP output
+files in each test directory in turn, displaying the details of any failures.
+This step uses the program <q>prove</q> which comes with Perl, but also needs
+<q>cat</q> to be provided in the default search path so will not work on most
+Windows systems.</p>
+
+<h4><tt>junitfiles</tt> &mdash; Convert test results to JUnit XML Format</h4>
+
+<p>The new make target <tt>junitfiles</tt> will run the self-tests if necessary
+and then convert the TAP output files into the more commonly-supported JUnit
+XML format. The program that performs this conversion needs the Perl module
+<q><tt>XML::Generator</tt></q> to have been installed.</p>
+
+<h4><tt>clean-tests</tt> &mdash; Delete test result files</h4>
+
+<p>The new make target <tt>clean-tests</tt> removes any test result files from
+previous test runs. It cleans both TAP and JUnit XML files.</p>
