+# INTEGRATION TESTING
+
+This folder contains integration tests.
+
+## OVERVIEW
+
+There are four files defining the integration tests.
+
+* **test_account_creation**: Tests account sign up process.
+* **test_transactions**: Tests transactions between two accounts.
+* **test_profile_management**: Tests that account metadata can be edited.
+* **test_account_management**: Tests that account management functionalities are intact.
+
+## REQUIREMENTS
+
+In order to run the transaction tests, please ensure that the faucet amount is set to a non-zero value, ideally `50000000`
+which is the value set in the config file `.config/test/integration.ini`.
+
+This implies setting the `DEV_FAUCET_AMOUNT` to a non-zero value before bringing up the contract-migration image:
+
+```shell
+export DEV_FAUCET_AMOUNT=50000000
+RUN_MASK=1 docker-compose up contract-migration
+RUN_MASK=2 docker-compose up contract-migration
+```
