+### Running tests
+
+This project makes use of [bash-bats](https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core) (community fork) to test some of its functionality.
+
+To run the tests locally, simply execute `./test/bats/bin/bats test`.
+
+I would suggest running the test suite in docker instead, just to minimize the possibility of something going awry and borking up your local file system.
+To run the tests in a docker suite, execute `docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/code" bats/bats:latest /code/test`
