 Testing in QEMU
 ===============
 
-This document describes the testing infrastructure in QEMU.
+QEMU's testing infrastructure is fairly complex as it covers
+everything from unit testing and exercising specific sub-systems all
+the way to full blown acceptance tests. To get an overview of the
+tests you can run ``make check-help`` from either the source or build
+tree.
+
+Most (but not all) tests are also integrated into the meson build
+system so can be run directly from the build tree, for example:
+
+.. code::
+
+  [./pyvenv/bin/]meson test --suite qemu:softfloat
+
+will run just the softfloat tests.

+The rest of this document will cover the details for specific test
+groups.
