 ## Step 4: Test Suite
 
+Testing the language server implementation is of crucial importance, and the tests will
+form the main part of the review process. Make sure that the tests are up to the standard
+of Serena to make the review go smoother.
+
+General rules for tests:
+
+1. Tests for symbols and references should always check that the expected symbol names and references were actually found.
+   Just testing that a list came back or that the result is not None is insufficient.
+2. Tests should never be skipped, the only exception is skipping based on some package being available or on an unsupported OS.
+3. Tests should run in CI, check if there is a suitable GitHub action for installing the dependencies.
