+#summary How the engine is tested automatically
+
+= Engine tests cases =
+Hedgewars developers have made some automated tests to test certain
+features of the engine automatically to ensure a certain level of
+quality and to prevent old fixed bug from popping up again.
+
+Currently, all automated Lua tests are done with Lua scripting.
+
+== Running test cases ==
+There are two ways to run a test: Automated and manual.
+
+=== Automated testing ===
+This requires you to have CMAke.
+
+Run `ctest` in the root directory of the repository to run all tests.
+Run `ctest -R <test name>` to run only the test with the given name.
+
+Note that automated tests will run much faster than in real game time.
+You won't see any actual game action, however.
+
+=== Manual testing ===
+Each test can also be run manually in which you run the tests in
+real time and you can see what's going on.
+
+Copy the corresponding Lua file from `tests/lua` to `Data/Missions/Training`
+and open Hedgewars and start the test from the training menu.
+
+== Creating test cases ==
+You can find the test cases in the repository under `tests/lua`.
+
+These scripts are treated like ordinary scripts in Hedgewars (like
+misions or multiplayer scripts) but there's one important difference:
+You must call `EndLuaTest` when the test result (success or failure)
+has be determined (see [[LuaAPI]]).
