+General info
+------------
+
+Test files in this directory are derived from u1db-0.1.4 tests. The main
+difference is that:
+
+  (1) they include the test infrastructure packed with soledad; and
+  (2) they do not include c_backend_wrapper testing.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+u1db tests depend on the following python packages:
+
+  nose2
+  unittest2
+  mercurial
+  hgtools
+  testtools
+  discover
+  oauth
+  testscenarios
+  dirspec
+  paste
+  routes
+  simplejson
+  cython
+
+Running tests
+-------------
+
+Use nose2 to run tests:
+
+  nose2 leap.soledad.tests.u1db_tests
