## How do I run the tests?
There are two main options for running the tests. If you simply want to run the
existing tests against a live GitLab instance or against a pre-built docker image
you can use the [GitLab QA orchestrator][gitlab-qa-readme]. See also [examples
of the test scenarios you can run via the orchestrator](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-qa/blob/master/docs/what_tests_can_be_run.md#examples).
On the other hand, if you would like to run against a local development GitLab
environment, you can use the [GitLab Development Kit (GDK)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/).
Please refer to the instructions in the [QA README](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/qa/README.md#how-can-i-use-it)
and the section below.
## How do I write tests?

You can use GitLab QA to exercise tests on any live instance! If you don't
have an instance available you can follow the instructions below to use
the [GitLab Development Kit (GDK)][GDK].
This is the recommended option if you would like to contribute to the tests.
### Run the end-to-end tests in a local development environment
Follow the GDK instructions to [prepare](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/blob/master/doc/prepare.md)
and [install](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit/blob/master/doc/set-up-gdk.md)
your local GitLab development environment.
Once you have GDK running, switch to the `qa` directory. E.g., if you setup
GDK to develop in the main `gitlab-ce` repo, the GitLab source code will be
in a `gitlab` directory and so the end-to-end test code will be in `gitlab/qa`.
From there you can run the tests. For example, the
following call would login to the GDK instance and run all specs in
`qa/specs/features`:
