+# Get started
+
+Serverpod provides simple but feature rich test tools to make testing your backend a breeze.
+
+<details>
+<summary> Have an existing project? Follow these steps first!</summary>
+<p>
+For existing projects, a few extra things need to be done:
+1. Add the `server_test_tools_path` key to `config/generator.yaml`. Without this key, the test tools file is not generated. The default location for the generated file is `integration_test/test_tools/serverpod_test_tools.dart`, but this can be set to any path (though should be outside of `lib` as per Dart's test conventions).
+
+2. New projects now come with a test profile in `docker-compose.yaml`. This is not strictly mandatory, but is recommended to ensure that the testing state is never polluted. Add the snippet below to the `docker-compose.yaml` file in the server directory:
+
+```yaml
+# Test services
+postgres_test:
+  image: postgres:16.3
+  ports:
+    - '9090:5432'
+  environment:
+    POSTGRES_USER: postgres_test
+    POSTGRES_DB: projectname_test
+    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: "<insert database test password>"
+  volumes:
+    - projectname_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
+  profiles:
+    - '' # Default profile
+    - test
+redis_test:
+  image: redis:6.2.6
+  ports:
+    - '9091:6379'
+  command: redis-server --requirepass "<insert redis test password>"
+  environment:
+    - REDIS_REPLICATION_MODE=master
+  profiles:
+    - '' # Default profile
+    - test
+```
+
+3. Create a `test.yaml` file and add it to the `config` directory:
+
+```yaml
+# This is the configuration file for your local test environment. By
+# default, it runs a single server on port 8090. To set up your server, you will
+# need to add the name of the database you are connecting to and the user name.
+# The password for the database is stored in the config/passwords.yaml.
+#
+# When running your server locally, the server ports are the same as the public
+# facing ports.
+
+# Configuration for the main API test server.
+apiServer:
+  port: 9080
+  publicHost: localhost
+  publicPort: 9080
+  publicScheme: http
+
+# Configuration for the Insights test server.
+insightsServer:
+  port: 9081
+  publicHost: localhost
+  publicPort: 9081
+  publicScheme: http
+
+# Configuration for the web test server.
+webServer:
+  port: 9082
+  publicHost: localhost
+  publicPort: 9082
+  publicScheme: http
+
+# This is the database setup for your test server.
+database:
+  host: localhost
+  port: 9090
+  name: projectname_test
+  user: postgres
+
+# This is the setup for your Redis test instance.
+redis:
+  enabled: false
+  host: localhost
+  port: 9091
+```
+
+4. Add this entry to `config/passwords.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+test:
+  database: '<insert database test password>'
+  redis: '<insert redis test password>'
+```
+
+That's it, the project setup should be ready to start using the test tools!
+</p>
+</details>
+
+Go to the server directory and generate the test tools by running `serverpod generate`. The default location for the generated file is `integration_test/test_tools/serverpod_test_tools.dart`.
+
+The generated file exports a `withServerpod` helper that enables you to call your endpoints directly like regular functions:
+
+```dart
+// Import the generated file, it contains everything you need.
+import 'test_tools/serverpod_test_tools.dart';
+
+void main() {
+  withServerpod('Given Example endpoint', (sessionBuilder, endpoints) {
+    test('when calling `hello` then should return greeting', () async {
+      final greeting =
+          await endpoints.example.hello(sessionBuilder, 'Michael');
+      expect(greeting, 'Hello, Michael!');
+    });
+  });
+}
+```
+
+A few things to note from the above example:
+
+- The test tools should be imported from the generated test tools file and not the `serverpod_test` package.
+- The `withServerpod` callback takes two parameters: `sessionBuilder` and `endpoints`.
+  - `sessionBuilder` is used to build a `session` object that represents the state of the world during an endpoint call and is used to set up scenarios.
+  - `endpoints` contains all your Serverpod endpoints and lets you call them.
+
+:::info
+
+The location of the test tools can be changed by changing the  `server_test_tools_path` key in `config/generator.yaml`. If you remove the `server_test_tools_path` key, the test tools will stop being generated.
+
+:::
+
+Before you can run the test you also need to start the Postgres and Redis:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up --build --detach
+```
+
+By default this starts up both the `development` and `test` profiles. To only start one profile, simply add `--profile test` to the command.
+
+Now the test is ready to be run!
