-The ``test_extras`` option, if specified, should contain a string (e.g. ``test`` or ``test,all``) that will be used to determine which 'extras' should be installed when testing. The ``test_command`` option should contain the full command to use for testing the installed package (this is run from an empty temporary directory).
+The ``test_groups`` option, if specified, should contain a comma-separated list
+of [PEP 735 Dependency Groups](https://peps.python.org/pep-0735/) that should be
+installed when testing (e.g. ``test``, or ``test, concurrency`` ...).
+Similarily, the ``test_extras`` option specifies optional dependencies
+(e.g. ``recommended`` or ``recommended, plotting``) that will be used to determine
+which 'extras' should be installed when testing. The ``test_command`` option
+should contain the full command to use for testing the installed package (this
+is run from an empty temporary directory).
