+## Testing
+
+The QuickStart documentation doesn't discuss testing. 
+This repo adds both karma/jasmine unit test and protractor end-to-end testing support.
+
+These tools are configured for specific conventions described below.
+
+*It is unwise and rarely possible to run the application, the unit tests, and the e2e tests at the same time.
+We recommend that you shut down one before starting another.*
+
+### Unit Tests
+TypeScript unit-tests are usually in the `app` folder. Their filenames must end in `.spec`.
+
+Look for the example `app/app.component.spec.ts`.
+Add more `.spec.ts` files as you wish; we configured karma to find them.
+
+Run it with `npm tests`.
+
+That command first compiles the application, then simultaneously re-compiles and runs the karma test-runner.
+Both the compiler and the karma watch for (different) file changes.
+
+Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C.
+
+### End-to-end (E2E) Tests
+
+**BEFORE RUNNING THE FIRST TEST** you must update the Selenium webdriver. Run `npm webdriver:update`.
+
+E2E tests are usually at the project root, above the `app` folder. 
+Their filenames must end in `e2e-spec.js`.
+
+E2E tests must be written in JavaScript (the author has not figured out how to write them in TS yet).
+
+Look for the example `e2e-spec.ts` in the root folder.
+Add more `e2e-spec.js` files as you wish (although one usually suffices for small projects); 
+we configured protractor to find them.
+
+
+Thereafter, run them with `npm run e2e`.
+
+That command first compiles, then simultaneously starts the Http-Server at `localhost:8080`
+and launches protractor.  The pass/fail test results appear at the bottom of the terminal window.
