+Trying the test site out
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The test site ships with configuration files for a number of CLI-based
+tools/applications that can be easily used for trying the services out
+(you can otherwise set-up your own).
+
+Configuration files assume the default domain (``example.com``) is
+used.
+
+The following tools come with out-of-the-box configuration:
+
+- `mcabber `_ (for XMPP)
+- `mutt `_ (for IMAP/SMTP)
+
+In order to use the configuration files, make sure that you are
+running all tools from within the ``testsite/`` directory.
+
+To start the XMPP CLI client (*mcabber*) with provided configuration,
+run (take note it is lower-caser ``f``)::
+
+ mcabber -f mcabber/john.doe
+ mcabber -f mcabber/jane.doe
+
+To start the IMAP/SMTP CLI client (*Mutt*) with provided
+configuration, run (take note it is upper-case ``F``)::
+
+ mutt -F mutt/john.doe
+ mutt -F mutt/jane.doe
