There's (ASDF:OOS 'ASDF:TEST-OP <system>), and on very recent revisions even (ASDF:TEST-SYSTEM <system>) as an abbeviation.

I don't think this has been properly documented in the manual of ASDF yet. I hence CC'd the asdf-devel mailing list so this will hopefully get promoted with the due it deserves.

Part of the problem with test-op is that the desired behavior has not been specified by the ASDF community. Because of the nature of ASDF, it is impossible for

(asdf:test-system <system>)

to return a value indicating whether or not <system> has passed its tests.

What is the reason that OPERATE can not return the return value of PERFORM?
