+
+## ✅ **Prerequisites**
+
+### **Environment Setup**
+```bash
+# Run main project setup (if not already done)
+./setup.sh
+
+# Activate central virtual environment
+source /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/activate
+
+# Ensure test dependencies are installed
+pip install pytest pytest-cov pytest-asyncio
+
+# Set environment configuration
+source /etc/aitbc/.env  # Central environment configuration
+```
+
+### **Service Requirements**
+- AITBC blockchain node running
+- Coordinator API service active
+- Database accessible (SQLite/PostgreSQL)
+- GPU services (if running AI tests)
+
+## ▶️ **Running Tests**
+
+### **Quick Start**
+```bash
+# Run all fast tests
+python tests/test_runner.py
+
+# Run comprehensive test suite
+python tests/test_runner.py --all
+
+# Run with coverage
+python tests/test_runner.py --coverage
+```
+
+### **Specific Test Types**
+```bash
+# Unit tests only
+python tests/test_runner.py --unit
+
+# Integration tests only
+python tests/test_runner.py --integration
+
+# CLI tests only
+python tests/test_runner.py --cli
+
+# Performance tests
+python tests/test_runner.py --performance
+```
+
+### **Advanced Testing**
+```bash
+# Comprehensive E2E testing
+python scripts/testing/comprehensive_e2e_test_fixed.py
+
+# Workflow testing
+bash scripts/testing/test_workflow.sh
+
+# All services testing
+bash scripts/testing/test-all-services.sh
+```
+
+## 🧪 **Test Types**
+
+### **Unit Tests**
+- **Location**: `tests/unit/` (if exists)
+- **Purpose**: Test individual components in isolation
+- **Speed**: Fast (< 1 second per test)
+- **Coverage**: Core business logic
+
+### **Integration Tests**
+- **Location**: `tests/integration/` and `tests/e2e/`
+- **Purpose**: Test component interactions
+- **Speed**: Medium (1-10 seconds per test)
+- **Coverage**: API endpoints, database operations
+
+### **End-to-End Tests**
+- **Location**: `tests/e2e/` and `scripts/testing/`
+- **Purpose**: Test complete workflows
+- **Speed**: Slow (10-60 seconds per test)
+- **Coverage**: Full user scenarios
+
+### **Performance Tests**
+- **Location**: `tests/load_test.py`
+- **Purpose**: Test system performance under load
+- **Speed**: Variable (depends on test parameters)
+- **Coverage**: API response times, throughput
+
+## ⚙️ **Configuration**
+
+### **Test Configuration Files**
+- **pytest.ini**: Pytest configuration (in root)
+- **conftest.py**: Shared fixtures and configuration
+- **pyproject.toml**: Project-wide test configuration
+
+### **Environment Variables**
+```bash
+# Test database (different from production)
+TEST_DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///test_aitbc.db
+
+# Test logging
+TEST_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+TEST_LOG_FILE=/var/log/aitbc/test.log
+
+# Test API endpoints
+# Note: Port 8011 = Learning Service (updated port allocation)
+TEST_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8011
+```
+
+## 🔄 **CI/CD Integration**
+
+### **GitHub Actions**
+Test suite is integrated with CI/CD pipeline:
+- **Unit Tests**: Run on every push
+- **Integration Tests**: Run on pull requests
+- **E2E Tests**: Run on main branch
+- **Performance Tests**: Run nightly
+
+### **Local CI Simulation**
+```bash
+# Simulate CI pipeline locally
+python tests/test_runner.py --all --coverage
+
+# Generate coverage report
+coverage html -o coverage_html/
+```
+
+## 🛠️ **Troubleshooting**
+
+### **Common Issues**
+
+#### **Test Failures Due to Services**
+```bash
+# Check service status
+systemctl status aitbc-blockchain-node
+systemctl status aitbc-coordinator
+
+# Restart services if needed
+sudo systemctl restart aitbc-blockchain-node
+sudo systemctl restart aitbc-coordinator
+```
+
+#### **Environment Issues**
+```bash
+# Check virtual environment
+which python
+python --version
+
+# Check dependencies
+pip list | grep pytest
+
+# Reinstall if needed
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+#### **Database Issues**
+```bash
+# Reset test database
+rm test_aitbc.db
+python -m alembic upgrade head
+
+# Check database connectivity
+python -c "from aitbc_core.db import engine; print(engine.url)"
+```
+
+### **Test Logs**
+All test logs are now centralized in `/var/log/aitbc/`:
+- **test.log**: General test output
+- **test_results.txt**: Test results summary
+- **performance_test.log**: Performance test results
+
+### **Getting Help**
+1. Check test logs in `/var/log/aitbc/`
+2. Review test documentation in `tests/docs/`
+3. Run tests with verbose output: `pytest -v`
+4. Check service status and configuration
