+== 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 <tt>rake -T</tt>
+
+Rake can be found at https://ruby.github.io/rake/.
+
+== Running by hand
+
+Run a single test suite:
+
+ rake test TEST=path/to/test.rb
+
+which can be further narrowed down to one test:
+
+ rake test TEST=path/to/test.rb TESTOPTS="--name=test_something"
+
+== Dependency on Active Record and database setup
+
+Test cases in the +test/activerecord/+ directory depend on having
+activerecord+ and +sqlite3+ installed. If Active Record is not in
+actionview/../activerecord+ directory, or the +sqlite3+ Ruby gem is not installed,
+ these tests are skipped.
+Other tests are runnable from a fresh copy of actionview without any configuration.
