+## Build Tools API integration tests
+
+This module contains integration tests covering the build tools API implementation using the DSL 
+built on top of the [Build Tools API](../kotlin-build-tools-api/README.md).
+
+#### How to run
+
+To run all tests for all Gradle plugins use `check` task.
+
+The module defines test matrix using the `jvm-test-suite` plugin to cover different combinations of 
+the Build Tools API's and its implementations' versions.
+
+#### Test suites:
+* `testSnapshotToSnapshot`: runs all tests against the API and implementation of the snapshot version. 
+  * Use `./gradlew :compiler:build-tools:kotlin-build-tools-api-tests:testSnapshotToSnapshot` to run them
+* `test1.9.20ToSnapshot`: runs all the tests marked with the `CompatibilityTests` annotation against API 1.9.20 and the snapshot implementation
+  * Use `./gradlew :compiler:build-tools:kotlin-build-tools-api-tests:test1.9.20ToSnapshot` to run them
+* `testSnapshotTo1.9.20`: runs all the tests marked with the `CompatibilityTests` annotation against the snapshot API and 1.9.20 implementation
+    * Use `./gradlew :compiler:build-tools:kotlin-build-tools-api-tests:testSnapshotTo1.9.20` to run them
+
+#### How to work with the tests
+
+Few rules you should follow while writing tests:
+- All tests should be written using [JUnit 5 platform](https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#overview).
+- All the compilation test classes should extend [BaseCompilationTest](./src/testCommon/kotlin/compilation/model/BaseCompilationTest.kt)
+- Consider using the scenario DSL for the incremental compilation tests, an usage example is located [here](./src/testCommon/kotlin/compilation/ExampleIncrementalScenarioTest.kt)
+- Add `@DisplayName(...)` with meaningful description both for test class and methods inside. This will allow developers easier
+  to understand what test is about.
+- Don't create one big test suite (class). Consider splitting tests into smaller suites. All tests are running in parallel (except daemon tests)
+  and having small tests suites should improve overall tests running time.
+- Mark the test with the `DefaultStrategyAgnosticCompilationTest` annotation if the test is expected to perform exactly 
+  the same using the daemon or in-process compiler execution strategy. This way the test will be executed using both strategies.
+- If you're writing a test for a specific strategy, consider configuring it manually through `CompilationService.makeCompilerExecutionStrategyConfiguration()` 
+
+#### The scenario DSL
+
+The incremental compilation tests written using the scenario DSL are subject to some optimizations and automatic checks, allowing you to avoid boilerplate.
+
+* Creating a module (e.g. `val module1 = module("jvm-module-1")`), you already have this module compiled non-incrementally 
+to apply further incremental changes. If this module is reused between different tests, the initial compilation output will be reused
+instead of recompiling it again and again.
+* Methods for applying modifications allow to perform automatic checks of resulting outputs files after the compilation, 
+so you don't need to create assertions using `assertOutputs`
