Abstract

After a brief introduction to the Painlev\'{e} property for ordinary differential equations, we present a concise review of the various methods of singularity analysis which are commonly referred to as Painlev\'{e} tests. The tests are applied to several different examples, and we discuss the connection between singularity structure and integrability for ordinary and partial differential equations.
