 Tests
 -----
 
-As a general rule, any behavioral change to rebar requires a test to go with it. If there's  
-already a test case, you may have to modify that one. If there isn't a test case or a test  
-suite, add a new test case or suite in `inttest/`. [retest](https://github.com/dizzyd/retest) based tests are preferred, but  
-we also have EUnit tests in `test/`.

-Say you've added a new test case in `inttest/erlc`. To only execute the modified suite,  
-you would do the following:
 ```sh
-# First we build rebar and its deps to also get `deps/retest/retest`
-$ make debug deps
-# Now we can test the modified erlc suite
-$ deps/retest/retest -v inttest/erlc
+$ ./bootstrap
+$ ./rebar3 ct
 ```
 
-To test EUnit tests, you would do:
-```sh
-$ make debug
-$ ./rebar -v eunit
-```

-You can also run `make test` to execute both EUnit and [retest](https://github.com/dizzyd/retest) tests as `make check` does.

 Committing your changes
 -----------------------
 
-Please ensure that all commits pass all tests, and do not have extra Dialyzer warnings.  
-To do that run `make check`. If you didn't build via `make debug` at first, the beam files in  
-`ebin/` might be missing debug_info required for [xref](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/xref.html) 
-and [Dialyzer](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dialyzer.html), causing a test 
-failure.  
-If that happens, running `make clean` before running `make check` could solve the problem.  
-If you change any of the files with known but safe to ignore Dialyzer warnings, you may  
-have to adapt the line number(s) in [dialyzer_reference](dialyzer_reference). If you do that, 
-do not remove the  
-leading blank line.
