## 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?
In order to write new tests, you first need to learn more about GitLab QA

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`:
