+## Testing
+
+Notebooks can be tested by running:
+
+```sh
+python website/process_notebooks.py test
+```
+
+This will automatically scan for all notebooks in the notebook/ and website/ dirs.
+
+To test a specific notebook pass its path:
+
+```sh
+python website/process_notebooks.py test notebook/agentchat_logging.ipynb
+```
+
+Options:
+- `--timeout` - timeout for a single notebook
+- `--exit-on-first-fail` - stop executing further notebooks after the first one fails
+
+### Skip tests
+
+If a notebook needs to be skipped then add to the notebook metadata:
+```json
+{
+    "...": "...",
+    "metadata": {
+        "test_skip": "REASON"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Note: Notebook metadata can be edited by opening the notebook in a text editor (Or "Open With..." -> "Text Editor" in VSCode)
