+# Running tests
+You can use `dotnet test` (either in this directory or in the project root directory) to run the tests.
+
+# Using a different SpacetimeDB version
+To run tests using a local version of the `SpacetimeDB` repo, you can add a `nuget.config` file in the **root** of this repository.
+
+The `tools/write-nuget-config.sh` script can generate the `nuget.config`. It takes one parameter: the path to the root SpacetimeDB repository (relative or absolute).
+
+Then, you need to `dotnet pack` the `BSATN.Runtime` package in the `SpacetimeDB` repo.
+
+Lastly, before running `dotnet test`, you should `dotnet nuget locals all --clear` to clear out any cached packages. This ensures you're actually testing with the new package you just built.
+
+Example:
+```bash
+$ export SPACETIMEDB_REPO_PATH="../SpacetimeDB"
+$ tools/write-nuget-config.sh "${SPACETIMEDB_REPO_PATH}"
+$ ( cd "${SPACETIMEDB_REPO_PATH}"/crates/bindings-csharp/BSATN.Runtime && dotnet pack )
+$ dotnet nuget locals all --clear
+$ dotnet test
+```
