+## Testing
+
+Nix comes with three different flavors of tests: unit, functional and integration.
+
+### Unit-tests
+
+The unit-tests for each Nix library (`libexpr`, `libstore`, etc..) are defined
+under `src/{library_name}/tests` using the
+[googletest](https://google.github.io/googletest/) framework.
+
+You can run the whole testsuite with `make check`, or the tests for a specific component with `make libfoo-tests_RUN`. Finer-grained filtering is also possible using the [--gtest_filter](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#running-a-subset-of-the-tests) command-line option.
+
+### Functional tests
+
+The functional tests reside under the `tests` directory and are listed in `tests/local.mk`.
+The whole testsuite can be run with `make install && make installcheck`.
+Individual tests can be run with `make tests/{testName}.sh.test`.
+
+### Integration tests
+
+The integration tests are defined in the Nix flake under the `hydraJobs.tests` attribute.
+These tests include everything that needs to interact with external services or run Nix in a non-trivial distributed setup.
+Because these tests are expensive and require more than what the standard github-actions setup provides, they only run on the master branch (on <https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master>).
+
+You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`

 * Nix can now be built with LTO by passing `--enable-lto` to `configure`.
   LTO is currently only supported when building with GCC.

+* You can now specify which outputs of a derivation `nix` should
+  operate on using the syntax `installable^outputs`,
+  e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static` or `nixpkgs#glibc^*`. By default,
+  `nix` will use the outputs specified by the derivation's
+  `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute if it exists, or all outputs
+  otherwise.
+
+  Selecting derivation outputs using the attribute selection syntax
+  (e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc.dev`) no longer works.

 i.e. Nix will operate on the default flake output attribute of the
 flake in the current directory.
 
+## Derivation output selection
+
+Derivations can have multiple outputs, each corresponding to a
+different store path. For instance, a package can have a `bin` output
+that contains programs, and a `dev` output that provides development
+artifacts like C/C++ header files. The outputs on which `nix` commands
+operate are determined as follows:
+
+* You can explicitly specify the desired outputs using the syntax
+  *installable*`^`*output1*`,`*...*`,`*outputN*. For example, you can
+  obtain the `dev` and `static` outputs of the `glibc` package:
+
+  ```console
+  # nix build 'nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static'
+  # ls ./result-dev/include/ ./result-static/lib/
+  …
+  ```
+
+* You can also specify that *all* outputs should be used using the
+  syntax *installable*`^*`. For example, the following shows the size
+  of all outputs of the `glibc` package in the binary cache:
+
+  ```console
+  # nix path-info -S --eval-store auto --store https://cache.nixos.org 'nixpkgs#glibc^*'
+  /nix/store/g02b1lpbddhymmcjb923kf0l7s9nww58-glibc-2.33-123                 33208200

+  /nix/store/kdgs3q6r7xdff1p7a9hnjr43xw2404z7-glibc-2.33-123-debug          155787312

+  ```
+
+* If you didn't specify the desired outputs, but the derivation has an
+  attribute `meta.outputsToInstall`, Nix will use those outputs. For
+  example, since the package `nixpkgs#libxml2` has this attribute:
+
+  ```console
+  # nix eval 'nixpkgs#libxml2.meta.outputsToInstall'
+  [ "bin" "man" ]
+  ```
+
+  a command like `nix shell nixpkgs#libxml2` will provide only those
+  two outputs by default.
+
+* Otherwise, Nix will use all outputs of the derivation.

 Most `nix` subcommands operate on a *Nix store*.
