Check the documentation section Reference/Archive Class Reference/Testing

This explains how you can submit your archive class to the exhaustive
series of tests that all the "built-in" archives are subjected to. It does
take a while to run the tests. And then it makes even more time to
get your custom archive to pass all the tests. But you will be
rewarded with something you should be able to depend upon.
