## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Documentation**
- Updated documentation to include information on creating models in
various backends (PyTorch, DP).
- Added sections on unit tests and regression tests for ensuring
consistency across different backends.
- Incorporated icons and notes to denote supported backends in the
documentation.
- Added a TensorFlow icon in the "Create a model in TensorFlow" section.

 ## Unit tests
 
+### Universal tests
+
+The `source/tests/universal` directory provides universal test suites for different models and backends.
+The subdirectory `cases` defines fixtures for different test cases of models, atomic models, descriptors, and fitting networks.
+The subdirectory `dpmodel` and `pt` are backend-specific test fixtures and suites.
+Each test suite tests APIs and whether the serialized models give the same results as the original models.
+Specially, the test suite for models also tests whether the model is permutation, translation, and rotation invariant, whether the model is differentiable and smooth near the cutoff radius, and whether the force is the negative gradient of the energy.
+
+When adding a new model, add the fixture to the `cases` subdiretory and then apply the test fixture in the suite of different backends.
+When implementing an existing model in a new backend, directly apply the existing test fixture to the test suite of that backend.
+
+### Consistent tests
+
 When transferring features from another backend to the PyTorch backend, it is essential to include a regression test in `/source/tests/consistent` to validate the consistency of the PyTorch backend with other backends. Presently, the regression tests cover self-consistency and cross-backend consistency between TensorFlow, PyTorch, and DP (Numpy) through the serialization/deserialization technique.
 
 During the development of new components within the PyTorch backend, it is necessary to provide a DP (Numpy) implementation and incorporate corresponding regression tests. For PyTorch components, developers are also required to include a unit test using `torch.jit`.
