+## Testing
+
+This project includes a few automated tests that can be run to ensure that containers start up and are operational. Required tools for testing can be installed by executing `bash .ci/setup-tools.sh`.
+
+The startup test can be executed by calling `make test-startup`. It spins up all containers and checks if they listen on their expected interfaces afterwards as well as execute some commands that should succeed on a succesful deployment.
+
+A more detailed test can be executed by calling `make test-goss`. This uses [Goss](https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss) and its helper [dcgoss](https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss/tree/master/extras/dcgoss) to validate the container configuration at runtime. These tests have not been implemented for all containers yet, but as an upside the same validation is used as part of the container healtcheck. Contributions are welcome!
+
+Testing the startup scripts of the containers is still a work in progress. When running `make test-commander` [Commander](https://github.com/SimonBaeumer/commander) will be used to test output of the `version.sh` script and some of the container startup scripts.
+
+## Tricks
 
 To speed up testing rebuilds you can override the git hash that is passed as a build argument.

 Just uncomment the last four lines and insert your Kopano subscription key where it currently says `REPLACE-ME`. Once this is done a `make build-all` will rebuild the images based on the latest available Kopano release (don't forget to `make tag-core` and `make tag-webapp` your images after building them).
 
 If you are running a private Docker Registry then you may also change `docker_repo` to reference your internal registry.

 ### What if I want to use a different front facing proxy than the one in docker-compose? Or just some part of the compose file?
