+# Docker regression test
+
+Python test suite to validate Podman endpoints using docker library (aka docker-py).
+See [Docker SDK for Python](https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html).
+
+## Running Tests
+
+To run the tests locally in your sandbox (Fedora 32,33):
+
+```shell
+# dnf install python3-docker
+```
+
+### Run the entire test suite
+
+All commands are run from the root of the repository.
+
+```shell
+# python3 -m unittest discover -s test/python/docker
+```
+
+Passing the -v option to your test script will instruct unittest.main() to enable a higher level of verbosity, and produce detailed output:
+
+```shell
+# python3 -m unittest -v discover -s test/python/docker
+```
+
+### Run a specific test class
+
+```shell
+# python3 -m unittest -v test.python.docker.compat.test_images.TestImages
+```
+
+### Run a specific test within the test class
+
+```shell
+# python3 -m unittest test.python.docker.compat.test_images.TestImages.test_tag_valid_image
+```
