+## How to run tests
+
+You will need to run `source env.sh` or `env.cmd` depending on your OS one time before you can run the Go unit tests.
+
+Then you can run:
+
+```
+go test .
+go test ./contrib/.
+```
+
+If you are using the Intel CV SDK, you can run those tests using:
+
+```
+go test ./pvl/.
+```
