+# Simulation tests, or high level integration tests.
+
+
+_The content of this directory is meant to be used by Parity's private CI/CD
+infrastructure with private tools. At the moment those tools are still early
+stage of development and we don't when if / when they will available for
+public use._
+
+
+## Content of this dir. 
+
+`configs` dir contains config files in toml format that describe how to
+configure the simulation network that you want to launch.
+
+`tests` dir contains [cucumber](https://cucumber.io/) files. Those are 
+Behavior-Driven Development test files that describe tests in plain English.
+Under the hood there are assertions that specific metrics should have specific
+values. 
+
+At the moment we have 2 tests: `tests/quick/001-smoketest.feature` and
+`tests/long/002-loadtest.feature`
+The load test uses a JS script that we added to simnet image and it's launched
+by this step in the cucumber file:
+`Then launch 'node' with parameters '/usr/local/bin/sub-flood --finalization --url ws://localhost:11222'`
+
+`run_test.sh` is a script meant to ease up launching a test.
+In order to use this script locally, you need to install 
+[gurke](https://github.com/paritytech/gurke)
+This script also helps preparing the test environment. Once you have access to 
+a kubernetes cluster (meaning you can do `kubectl get pods`) you can run this 
+script with no arguments, like `./run_test.sh` and tests should run.
+Kubernetes cluster can be local, spawned with 
+[kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation)
+or an instance living in the 
+[cloud](https://github.com/paritytech/gurke/blob/main/docs/How-to-setup-access-to-gke-k8s-cluster.md)
