+## Writing Tests
+
+Since the project is build and configured through CMake it makes sense to rely for tests
+on CTest. All tests are located in the subfolder `tests`. In this directory is a CMakeLists.txt which specifies which tests
+are to be run. Actual tests are located in folders within tests and contain a final CMakeLists.txt which specifies what to run 
+for a single test.
+
+```
+tests
+  └─ test_group1
+      └─ CMakeLists.txt  # specify tests in this group
+      └─ ...             # test files of group 1
+      
+  └─ test_group2
+      └─ CMakeLists.txt  # specify tests in this group
+      └─ ...             # test files of group 2
+
