+# bibel CI Test Suite
+
+This directory contains test scripts for verifying the bibel date progression system.
+
+## Test Files
+
+### quick_test.sh
+
+Quick version check that validates basic functionality.
+
+Run with:
+```bash
+cd /home/mjensen/Development/bibel/build/test
+./quick_test.sh
+```
+
+### test_dates.go
+
+Go program for more detailed date progression testing with specific test cases.
+Currently includes tests for:
+
+- Day 1 starting position
+- Current date verification
+- Reading mode starting points
+- Wrap-around test
+- Lookahead rule test
+
+To run:
+```bash
+cd /home/mjensen/Development/bibel
+go run build/test/test_dates.go
+```
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+When modifying the date progression system, update the test cases in `test_dates.go`
+to verify the changes don't break existing functionality.
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+The date progression system should:
+1. Show 12 verses per day (configurable via `verses_per_day` in config)
+2. Progress through the selected reading mode (evangelion, new_testament,
+   old_testament, bible)
+3. Wrap around when reaching the end of the reading mode
+4. Apply lookahead rule: if less than 12 verses remain in a chapter, extend to
+   chapter end
+5. `evangelion` and `new_testament` modes should start at the same position
+   (Matthew 1:1)
