+Development and testing
+=======================
+
+Development and test workflow with `Test Kitchen <http://kitchen.ci>`_ and
+`kitchen-salt <https://github.com/simonmcc/kitchen-salt>`_ provisioner plugin.
+
+Test Kitchen is a test harness tool to execute your configured code on one or more platforms in isolation.
+There is a ``.kitchen.yml`` in main directory that defines *platforms* to be tested and *suites* to execute on them.
+
+Kitchen CI can spin instances locally or remote, based on used *driver*.
+For local development ``.kitchen.yml`` defines a `vagrant <https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-vagrant>`_ or
+`docker  <https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-docker>`_ driver.
+
+To use backend drivers or implement your CI follow the section `INTEGRATION.rst#Continuous Integration`__.
+
+The `Busser <https://github.com/test-kitchen/busser>`_ *Verifier* is used to setup and run tests
+implementated in `<repo>/test/integration`. It installs the particular driver to tested instance
+(`Serverspec <https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-verifier-serverspec>`_,
+`InSpec <https://github.com/chef/kitchen-inspec>`_, Shell, Bats, ...) prior the verification is executed.
+
+Usage:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+  # list instances and status
+  kitchen list
+
+  # manually execute integration tests
+  kitchen [test || [create|converge|verify|exec|login|destroy|...]] [instance] -t tests/integration
+
+  # use with provided Makefile (ie: within CI pipeline)
+  make kitchen
+
