+There are two major categories of tests, segregated into different
+top-level directories under test/.
+
+The first category (ipdl/) is IPDL-compiler tests.  These tests check
+that the IPDL compiler is successfully compiling correct
+specifications, and successfully rejecting erroneous specifications.
+
+The second category (cxx/) is C++ tests of IPDL semantics.  These
+tests check that async/sync/rpc semantics are implemented correctly,
+ctors/dtors behave as they should, etc.

+To add a new IPDL C++ unit test, you need to create (at least) the
+following files (for a test "TestFoo"):
+
+  - PTestFoo.ipdl, specifying the top-level protocol used for the test
+
+  - TestFoo.h, declaring the top-level parent/child actors used for
+    the test
+
+  - TestFoo.cpp, defining the top-level actors
+
+  - (make sure all are in the namespace mozilla::_ipdltest)
+
+Next
+
+  - add PTestFoo.ipdl to ipdl.mk
+
+  - append TestFoo to the variable IPDLTESTS in Makefile.in
+
+You must define three methods in your |TestFooParent| class:
+
+  - static methods |bool RunTestInProcesses()| and
+    |bool RunTestInThreads()|.  These methods control whether
+    to execute the test using actors in separate processes and
+    threads respectively.  Generally, both should return true.
+
+  - an instance method |void Main()|.  The test harness wil first
+    initialize the processes or threads, create and open both actors,
+    and then kick off the test using |Main()|.  Make sure you define
+    it.
+
+If your test passes its criteria, please call
+|MOZ_IPDL_TESTPASS("msg")| and "exit gracefully".
+
+If your tests fails, please call |MOZ_IPDL_TESTFAIL("msg")| and "exit
+ungracefully", preferably by abort()ing.
+
+
+If all goes well, running
+
+  make -C $OBJDIR/ipc/ipdl/test/cxx
+
+will update the file IPDLUnitTests.cpp (the test launcher), and your
+new code will be built automatically.
+
+
+You can launch your new test by invoking one of
+
+  make -C $OBJDIR/ipc/ipdl/test/cxx check-proc     (test process-based tests)
+  make -C $OBJDIR/ipc/ipdl/test/cxx check-threads  (test thread-based tests)
+  make -C $OBJDIR/ipc/ipdl/test/cxx check          (tests both)
+
+If you want to launch only your test, run
+
+  cd $OBJDIR/dist/bin
+  ./run-mozilla.sh ./ipdlunittest TestFoo          (test in two processes, if appl.)
+  ./run-mozilla.sh ./ipdlunittest thread:TestFoo   (test in two threads, if appl.)
+
+
+For a bare-bones example of adding a test, take a look at
+PTestSanity.ipdl, TestSanity.h, TestSanity.cpp, and how "TestSanity"
+is included in ipdl.mk and Makefile.in.
