+Running role tests during development
+-------------------------------------
+
+During development, as new features are being implemented, it is
+usually necessary to bring up the test machines and have them
+operational for prolonged periods of time while changes are being
+applied and tested.
+
+This usually starts off by bringing up the test machines and applying
+the configuration against them using Ansible::
+
+  workon majic-ansible-roles
+  cd roles/ROLENAME/
+  molecule converge
+
+After the test machines have been brought up and configured, tests can
+be run with (without destroying the test machines themselves)::
+
+  molecule verify
+
+Another scenario is ability to run individual tests for faster
+develpoment iteration. Individual tests can be selected for execution
+by passing options to the underlying test runner (`pytest
+<https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/>`_) via ``PYTEST_ADDOPTS``
+environment variable.
+
+For example, to run a singular test by its function name, use the
+``-k`` option::
+
+  PYTEST_ADDOPTS="-k test_config_file_content" molecule verify
+
+Tests can also be decorated with markers (``@pytest.mark.*``), which
+can in turn be used to run the matching (marked) subset of tests. For
+example, to execute slow-running tests (decorated with
+``@pytest.mark.slow``), run::
+
+  PYTEST_ADDOPTS="-m slow" molecule verify
+
+To exclude the slow-running tests, use logical expressions (just make
+sure to surround the entire expression with additional quotation
+marks)::
+  
+  PYTEST_ADDOPTS="-m 'not slow'" molecule verify
+
+To determine what tests take a long time to finish, use the
+``--durations`` option::
+
+  PYTEST_ADDOPTS="--durations 0" molecule verify"
+
