+# NixOS Tests {#sec-nixos-tests}
+
+When you add some feature to NixOS, you should write a test for it.
+NixOS tests are kept in the directory `nixos/tests`, and are executed
+(using Nix) by a testing framework that automatically starts one or more
+virtual machines containing the NixOS system(s) required for the test.
