+%   release is a boolean that controls whether to test prima in release mode (true) or not (false).
+%   In release mode, the testing precision is relaxed and the testing results are not printed.
+%   precision is a positive scalar that specifies the required precision.
+%   nrun is a positive integer that specifies the number of runs with randomly perturbed x0. The
+%   default value is 1, meaning that no perturbation will be added to x0. If nrun > 1, a tiny
+%   quasi-random perturbation will be added to x0 in each run.
+%   test_classical is a boolean that controls whether to test the classical version of prima.
