+# Integration tests
+
+Thank you for your effort to provide good software tests for Forgejo.
+Please also read the general testing instructions in the
+[Forgejo contributor documentation](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/contributor/testing/).
+
+This file is meant to provide specific information for the integration tests
+as well as some tips and tricks you should know.
+
+Feel free to extend this file with more instructions if you feel like you have something to share!
+
+
+## How to run the tests?
+
+Before running any tests, please ensure you perform a clean build:
+
+```
+make clean build
+```
+
+Integration tests can be run with make commands for the
+appropriate backends, namely:
+```shell
+make test-sqlite
+make test-pgsql
+make test-mysql
+```
+
+
+### Run tests via local forgejo runner
+
+If you have a [forgejo runner](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/),
+you can use it to run the test jobs:
+
+#### Run all jobs
+
+```
+forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request
+```
+
+Warning: This file defines many jobs, so it will be resource-intensive and therefore not recommended.
+
+#### Run single job
+
+```SHELL
+forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request -j <job_name>
+```
+
+You can list all job names via:
+
+```SHELL
+forgejo-runner exec -W .forgejo/workflows/testing.yml --event=pull_request -l
+```
+
+### Run sqlite integration tests
+Start tests
+```
+make test-sqlite
+```
+
+### Run MySQL integration tests
+Setup a MySQL database inside docker
+```
+docker run -e "MYSQL_DATABASE=test" -e "MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes" -p 3306:3306 --rm --name mysql mysql:latest #(just ctrl-c to stop db and clean the container)
+docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" --rm --name elasticsearch elasticsearch:7.6.0 #(in a second terminal, just ctrl-c to stop db and clean the container)
+```
+Start tests based on the database container
+```
+TEST_MYSQL_HOST=localhost:3306 TEST_MYSQL_DBNAME=test TEST_MYSQL_USERNAME=root TEST_MYSQL_PASSWORD='' make test-mysql
+```
+
+### Run pgsql integration tests
+Setup a pgsql database inside docker
+```
+docker run -e "POSTGRES_DB=test" -p 5432:5432 --rm --name pgsql postgres:latest #(just ctrl-c to stop db and clean the container)
+```
+Start tests based on the database container
+```
+TEST_PGSQL_HOST=localhost:5432 TEST_PGSQL_DBNAME=test TEST_PGSQL_USERNAME=postgres TEST_PGSQL_PASSWORD=postgres make test-pgsql
+```
+
+### Running individual tests
+
+Example command to run GPG test:
+
+For SQLite:
+
+```
+make test-sqlite#GPG
+```
+
+For other databases (replace `mysql` to `pgsql`):
+
+```
+TEST_MYSQL_HOST=localhost:1433 TEST_MYSQL_DBNAME=test TEST_MYSQL_USERNAME=sa TEST_MYSQL_PASSWORD=MwantsaSecurePassword1 make test-mysql#GPG
+```
+
+## Setting timeouts for declaring long-tests and long-flushes
+
+We appreciate that some testing machines may not be very powerful and
+the default timeouts for declaring a slow test or a slow clean-up flush
+may not be appropriate.
+
+You can either:
+
+* Within the test ini file set the following section:
+
+```ini
+[integration-tests]
+SLOW_TEST = 10s ; 10s is the default value
+SLOW_FLUSH = 5S ; 5s is the default value
+```
+
+* Set the following environment variables:
+
+```bash
+GITEA_SLOW_TEST_TIME="10s" GITEA_SLOW_FLUSH_TIME="5s" make test-sqlite
+```
+
+## Tips and tricks
+
+If you know noteworthy tests that can act as an inspiration for new tests,
+please add some details here.
