 We use `pytest` to run tests.
 Because `alibi` uses some TensorFlow 1.x constructs, to run all tests you need to invoke `pytest` twice as follows:
 ```bash
-pytest -m tf1 alibi
-pytest -m "not tf1 alibi"
+TF_USE_LEGACY_KERAS=1 pytest -m "tf1" alibi
+pytest -m "not tf1" alibi
 ```
+
+or run directly:
+```bash
+make test
+```

 It is not necessary to run the whole test suite locally for every PR as this can take a long time, it is enough to run `pytest`
 only on the affected test files or test functions. The whole test suite is run in CI on every PR.
