Description

Once users implement an AbstractGraph, they need an easy way to make sure that all of the methods are correctly defined. For instance a test suite that we provide.

And we need a way to make sure that said test suite is correct: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/metatesting-jl-who-tests-the-test-suites/99273

Research direction

Start by reading the AbstractGraph interface and the related Graphs.jl issue #253, then review the linked Discourse discussion about testing test suites. Define what methods the supplied suite must validate and how its own correctness will be checked; the issue is complete when both concerns have an agreed implementation and coverage.
