+== Running with Rake
+
+The easiest way to run the unit tests is through Rake. The default task runs
+the entire test suite for all classes. For more information, checkout the 
+full array of rake tasks with "rake -T"
+
+Rake can be found at http://rake.rubyforge.org
+
+== Running by hand
+
+If you only want to run a single test suite, or don't want to bother with Rake,
+you can do so with something like:
+
+   ruby controller/base_test.rb
+
+== Dependency on ActiveRecord and database setup
+
+Test cases in test/controller/active_record_assertions.rb depend on having
+activerecord installed and configured in a particular way. See comment in the
+test file itself for details. If ActiveRecord is not in 
+actionpack/../activerecord directory, these tests are skipped. If activerecord
+is installed, but not configured as expected, the tests will fail.
+
+Other tests are runnable from a fresh copy of actionpack without any configuration.
