 Test File and Module Names
 ==========================
 
-KUnit tests can often be compiled as a module. These modules should be named
-after the test suite, followed by ``_test``. If this is likely to conflict with
-non-KUnit tests, the suffix ``_kunit`` can also be used.
-
-The easiest way of achieving this is to name the file containing the test suite
-``<suite>_test.c`` (or, as above, ``<suite>_kunit.c``). This file should be
-placed next to the code under test.
+Whether a KUnit test is compiled as a separate module or via an
+``#include`` in a core kernel source file, the files should be named
+after the test suite, followed by ``_test``, and live in a ``tests``
+subdirectory to avoid conflicting with regular modules or the core kernel
+source file names (e.g. for tab-completion). If this would conflict with
+non-KUnit tests, the suffix ``_kunit`` can be used instead.
+
+So for the common case, name the file containing the test suite
+``tests/<suite>_test.c`` (or, if needed, ``tests/<suite>_kunit.c``). The
+``tests`` directory should be placed at the same level as the
+code under test. For example, tests for ``lib/string.c`` live in
+``lib/tests/string_test.c``.
 
 If the suite name contains some or all of the name of the test's parent
 directory, it may make sense to modify the source filename to reduce redundancy.
-For example, a ``foo_firmware`` suite could be in the ``foo/firmware_test.c``
