 ## Running this test suite
 
-This test suite tests an Ick2 controller, and can either run in a
-local or remote mode. In local mode, each test scenario starts and
-stops a local instance, and runs tests against that. In remote mode,
-an existing, running controller instance is assumed, and tests are run
-against that.
+This test suite tests a deployed Ick2 controller and other components of Ick,
+but not the workers. The deployed Ick2 must not have any workers, and
+must be "empty", meaning, no project, pipelines, etc, must be defined.
+The test suit deletes everything.
 
-The `./check` script runs the tests. By default it runs in local mode.
-Local mode can be specified explicitly with the `local` parameter:
+The `./check` script runs the tests. It can run only local tests,
+which are mainly unit tests and code health.
 
     EXAMPLE running the test suite in local mode
     ./check
-    ./check local
-    ./check local -v --tempdir tmp --snapshot
 
 `./check` can be given extra arguments, which it will pass on to
-`yarn`.
-
-To run the tests in remote mode, give the controller URL:
+`yarn` to test a remote Ick instance, which may not have workers. The
+first argument is the controller URL:
 
     EXAMPLE running the test suite in local mode
-    ./check https://ick-controller --env ICK_PRIVATE_KEY=~/tmp/ick.key
-    ./check https://ick-controller --env ICK_PRIVATE_KEY=~/tmp/ick.key \
-        -v --tempdir tmp --snapshot
+    ./check https://ick-controller
+    ./check https://ick-controller -v --tempdir tmp --snapshot
 
-The URL **must** be an `https` URL. Additionally, the environment
-variable `ICK_PRIVATE_KEY` must be given a path to the *private* key
-for signing tokens, so that a new token can be generated.
+The URL **must** be an `https` URL. `qvisqvetool` must be configured
+to suppot the given Ick instance, so that test clients for API use can
+be managed by yarn automatically.
