 Is a wiiide topic. For now, please see the numerous .txt files in the
 source. Most of the **are** tests.
+
+Generally, we use `z3c.testsetup` for finding and setting up tests.
+
+There are mainly two kinds of tests we use:
+
+* unit- or simple doctests
+
+  These are included in test runs automatically, if they provide a
+  marker like this somewhere (normally near top of file)::
+
+    .. :doctest:
+
+  Most unit tests furthermore declare that they want to be run inside
+  the `WAeUPSIRPUnitTestLayer` defined in `waeup.sirp.testing`. This
+  layer groks the whole `waeup.sirp` package, so that all ZCA
+  components are already setup when you start your tests.
+  
+  To declare that a unit test testfile should be run inside this
+  layer, the testfile has to provide the following line::
+
+    .. :layer: waeup.sirp.testing.WAeUPSIRPUnitTestLayer
+
+  Use it, if in your tests you make use of registered components like
+  utilities, adapters and the like.
+
+* integration or functional tests
+
+  These provide a full-blown ZODB storage, so that we can emulate
+  browser requests to the whole system. Functional tests are much more
+  expensive in terms of memory and runtime but needed, if you want to
+  test UI components.
+
+  A testfile is registered as functional test on testruns when it
+  provides a line like the following::
+
+    :Test-Layer: functional
+
