Installing Open vSwitch for Linux or FreeBSD" above.
+Running the Test Infrastructure
+===============================
+Open vSwitch includes a comprehensive testing infrastructure. This includes
+the ability to run all the unit tests or even a subset of the unit tests.
+Before submitting patches upstream it is advised to ensure all the tests pass.
+If you are adding new features to Open vSwitch, adding tests will ensure your
+feature doesn't break as developers are modifying other areas of Open vSwitch.
+
+To run all the unit tests in Open vSwitch, do this:
+
+ make check
+
+To pass flags to the testing infrastrucure in the "tests" directory, you can
use
+the "TESTSUITEFLAGS" command line option. For example, to run only a subset of
the
+tests, do this something like the below, which will run tests 477-484.
+
+ make check TESTSUITEFLAGS=477-484
+
+To run tests matching a specific set of keywords, do something like the below,
which
+will run all tests with a keyword matching "ovsdb":
+
+ make check TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k ovsdb'
+
+The full list of testing options can be found by running the following command:
+
+ make check TESTSUITEFLAGS=--help
