+
+## Dependencies
+
+1. `tmux` (required for `integration/run-*-env.sh` scripts)
+2. `jq` (required for `integration/*/env-vars.sh` scripts)
+3. `bash` v3.x or greater (or compatible shell)
+
+**Notes for Mac OSX users**
+
+1. Running `tmux` in `iterm2` is known to be faulty. Consider switching to an alternative terminal emulator.
+2. To install `jq` and `tmux` via brew: `brew install jq tmux`
+
+
+## Environments & scenarios
+
+### Base Environment
+
+Base environment with `skywire-services` running on localhost
+
+Usage:
+- as base for other environments as  `source ./intergration/run-base-env.sh` in other `run-*-env.sh` scripts
+- standalone: `./integration/run-base-env.sh && tmux attach -t skywire`
+
+### Generic Test Environment
+
+The generic test environment will define the following:
+
+- skywire-services running on localhost
+- 3 skywire-nodes:
+  - NodeA, NodeC running all apps
+  - NodeB - intermediary node without apps
+
+**Run**
+
+```bash
+# Tear down everything
+$ make integration-teardown
+
+# Start all services and nodes
+$ make integration-run-generic
+
+# Adds pre-defined transports
+$ make integration-startup
+```
+
+**Stop**
+
+This is the recommended way to stop environment:
+
+```bash
+$ tmux kill-session -t skywire
+```
+
+And optionally:
+
+```bash
+$ make integration-teardown
+```
+
+**Commands**
+
+Instead of `../skywire/skywire-cli --rpc localhost:port [command]`, one can use:
+
+- `CLI_A node ls-tp` - list transports from nodeA
+- `CLI_B node add-tp $PK_A` - add transport on nodeB to nodeA
+
+Consult with `./integration/env-vars.sh` for details.
+
+**Tests**
+
+These tests assume that the generic environment is running (via the aforementioned steps).
+
+- **TEST 1: Send messages back and forth once.**
+    ```bash
+    # To be run in the 'shell' tab of tmux.
+    ./integration/test-messaging.sh 
+    ```
+- **TEST 2: Test send/receive with unstable NodeB.**
+   1. Stop NodeB by switching to the 7th tmux window (`Ctrl+B` & `6`) and sending SIGTERM (`Ctrl-C`).
+   2. Run the following in the same window:
+      ```bash
+      $ ./integration/start-restart-nodeB.sh
+      ```
+   3. Switch to the `shell` window and run:
+      ```bash
+      ./integration/test-messaging-loop.sh
+      ```
+
+**Detailed Description**
+
+The following steps will be performed:
+
+1. copy sw*.json and start-restart-nodeB.sh into skywire directory
+2. Create 9 tmux windows:
+   1. MSGD: messaging-discovery
+   2. MSG: messaging-server
+   3. TRD: transport-discovery
+   4. RF: route-finder
+   5. SN: setup-node
+   6. NodeA: first skywire-node running with generic/nodeA.json
+   7. NodeB: first skywire-node running with intermediary-nodeB.json
+   8. NodeC: first skywire-node running with generic/nodeC.json
+   9. shell: new shell for interactive exploration
+3. ENV-vars in shell-window:
+   1. $MSG_PK, $SN_PK - public keys of messaging-server and setup-node
+   2. $PK_A, $PK_B, $PK_C - public keys of node_A, node_B, node_C
+   3. $RPC_A, $RPC_B, $RPC_C - `--rpc` param for ../skywire/skywire-cli
+   4. $CHAT_A, $CHAT_B - addresses and ports for `skychat`-apps on node_A and node_C
+4. Aliases in shell-window: `CLI_A`, `CLI_B`, `CLI_C`
+
+### SSH Test Environment
+
+The SSH Test Environment will define the following:
+
+- skywire-services running on localhost
+- 3 skywire-nodes:
+  - NodeA - running  `SSH` app
+  - NodeB - intermediary node without apps
+  - NodeC - running `SSH-client` app
+
+**Run**
+
+```bash
+# Tear down everything
+$ make integration-teardown
+
+# Prerequisite
+$ echo $PK_C > ~/.therealssh/authorized_keys
+
+# Start all services and nodes
+$ make integration-run-ssh
+
+# Adds pre-defined transports
+$ make integration-startup
+```
+
+**Tests**
+
+- **TEST 1**
+  1. Run `./integration/run-ssh-env.sh` - it will run:
+     1. skywire-services on localhost
+     2. NodeA with configured `SSH` app 
+     3. NodeB - intermediary
+     4. NodeC with configured `SSH-client` app
+  2. Run `./integration/test-ssh.sh` which will run in cycle:
+     1. `./SSH-cli $PK_A "export n=1; loop -n $n echo A"`
+     2. kill all skywire-nodes
+     3. Collect logs
+     4. Increase n by power of 2
+     5. Repeat
+
+### Proxy test environment
+
+The proxy test environment will define the following:
+
+- skywire-services running on localhost
+- 3 skywire-nodes:
+  - NodeA - running  `SSH` app
+  - NodeB - intermediary node without apps
+  - NodeC - running `SSH-client` app
+
+#### Preparation
+
+It's really tricky to make socks5 proxy work now from clean start.
+
+Because `socksproxy-client` needs:
+- transport to NodeA
+- NodeA must be running **before** start of `socksproxy-client`
+
+Recipe for clean start:
+
+1. Run `make integration-teardown`
+2. Start `./integration/run-proxy-env.sh`
+3. Run `make integration-startup`
+4. Stop NodeA, NodeB, NodeC
+5. Restart all nodes
+6. Wait for message in NodeC logs about successful start of
+socksproxy-client
+7. Check `lsof -i :9999` that it's really started
+8. Check `curl -v --retry 5 --retry-connrefused 1  --connect-timeout 5 -x socks5://123456:@localhost:9999 https://www.google.com`
+
+
+#### Scenario. Proxy test #1
+
+1. `./integration/run-proxy-env.sh`
+2. In `shell` window run: `./integration/test-proxy.sh`
+3. Examine `./logs/proxy`
+
+## Notes & recipes
+
+### Delays
+
+It's possible that a service could start earlier or later than needed.
+
+Examine windows,  in case of failed service - restart it (E.g. `KeyUp`-`Enter`)
+
+Problem still exists in proxy test environment:
+  - NodeC cannot start `SSH-client` when NodeA is still starting `SSH`
+
+### Tmux for new users
+
+1. Read `man tmux`
+2. Run `tmux list-keys`
+3. Find your `send-prefix` key: `tmux list-keys | grep send-prefix`
+4. Use this prefix for switching between windows
+
+### Guidelines for new test creation 
+
+1. **Decide**:   
+   - new test is new scenario in existing environments 
+   - or new environment with new scenario
+2. If existing environment is sufficient: 
+   - create new script in `./integration` with name `test-[name of test].sh`
+   - use existing `./integration/run*.sh` for inspiration
+   - add section describing this scenario in this document
+3. In case of need in special environment:
+   - `cp -r ./integration/generic ./integration/[new environment]`
+   - `cp  ./integraton/run-generic-env.sh ./integration/run-[new environment].sh`
+   - modify whats needed
+   - add section describing new environment and scenario(s) in this document
