Checking the norm: The tester will first check the conformity of the project code with the specified norms from 42 School.
Building the project: If the project has not already been built, the tester will then use the make command to build it.

Test Results

After running the tests, the following outcomes may occur:

Successful output: If the output is correct, you will see a success message displayed on your terminal for each test.
Failed output: If the output is incorrect, you can compare the expected output with your output by checking the Expected output and Your output sections.
