+## Tests
+
+Tests are run automatically as part of CI when a PR is opened. However, it can be helpful to run tests locally
+before pushing your changes to GitHub. First, you'll want to make sure you've installed all dependencies:
+
+```
+yarn install
+yarn install:python
+```
+
+Then, you can run the main test suite like so:
+
+```
+yarn test
+```
+
+Python tests may also be run locally. (Note: currently requires Python 3.9.)
+
+```
+yarn test:python
+```
+
+For running specific tests, you can specify a pattern with the `GREP_TESTS` variable:
+
+```
+env GREP_TESTS=ChoiceList yarn test
+env GREP_TESTS=summary yarn test:python
+```
