+Running tests
+=============
+To run the tests locally in your sandbox, you can use one of these methods:
+* make;PODMAN=./bin/podman bats ./test/system/070-build.bats # runs just the specified test
+* make;PODMAN=./bin/podman bats ./test/system                # runs all
+
+To test as root:
+*  $ PODMAN=./bin/podman sudo --preserve-env=PODMAN bats test/system
