+## Running the test suite
+
+The default rake task will run the full test suite and [standard]:
+
+```sh
+bundle exec rake
+```
+
+You can also run a single group of tests (unit, spec, or feature)
+
+```sh
+bundle exec rake spec:unit
+bundle exec rake spec:acceptance
+bundle exec rake features
+```
+
+To run an individual rspec test, you can provide a path and line number:
+
+```sh
+bundle exec rspec spec/path/to/spec.rb:123
+```
+
+You can run tests with a specific version of rails via [appraisal]. To run
+the default rake task against Rails 6, for example:
+
+```sh
+bundle exec appraisal 6.0 rake
+```
+
+## Formatting
+
+Use [standard] to automatically format your code:
+
+```sh
+bundle exec rake standard:fix
+```
