+- The recommended way to run tests (also on Windows) is to cd into parent
+ directory and run ``make test``
+
+- Dependencies for running tests:
+ - python 2.6: ipaddress, mock, unittest2
+ - python 2.7: ipaddress, mock
+ - python 3.2: ipaddress, mock
+ - python 3.3: ipaddress
+ - python >= 3.4: no deps required
+
+- The main test script is ``test_psutil.py``, which also imports platform-specific
+ ``_*.py`` scripts (which should be ignored).
+
+- ``test_memory_leaks.py`` looks for memory leaks into C extension modules and must
+ be run separately with ``make test-memleaks``.
+
+- To run tests on all supported Python version install tox (pip install tox)
+ then run ``tox``.
+
+- Every time a commit is pushed tests are automatically run on Travis:
+ https://travis-ci.org/giampaolo/psutil/
