+is the best place to learn how to write tests. Erlang.mk
+requires that file names for test suites end with <span class="emphasis"><em>_SUITE.erl</em></span>
+and that the files be located in the <span class="emphasis"><em>$(TEST_DIR)</em></span> directory.
+This defaults to <span class="emphasis"><em>test/</em></span>.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_configuration_4"></a>16.2. Configuration</h2></div></div></div><p>The <code class="literal">CT_OPTS</code> variable allows you to set extra Common Test
+options. Options are documented in the
+<a class="ulink" href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/common_test/run_test_chapter.html" target="_top">Common Test user guide</a>.
+You can use it to set Common Test hooks, for example:</p><pre class="programlisting">CT_OPTS = -ct_hooks cowboy_ct_hook</pre><p>The <code class="literal">CT_SUITES</code> variable can be used to override what
+Common Test suites Erlang.mk will be aware of. It does
+not normally need to be set as Erlang.mk will find the
+test suites automatically.</p><p>The name of the suite is the part before <code class="literal">_SUITE.erl</code>.
+If the file is named <span class="emphasis"><em>http_SUITE.erl</em></span>, the test suite
+is <code class="literal">http</code>:</p><pre class="programlisting">CT_SUITES = http ws</pre></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_usage_3"></a>16.3. Usage</h2></div></div></div><p>To run all tests (including Common Test):</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make tests</pre><p>To run all tests and static checks (including Common Test):</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make check</pre><p>You can also run Common Test separately:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make ct</pre><p>Erlang.mk will create targets for all test suites it finds.
+If you have a file named <span class="emphasis"><em>test/http_SUITE.erl</em></span>, then the
+target <code class="literal">ct-http</code> will run that specific test suite:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make ct-http</pre><p>Erlang.mk provides a convenient way to run a specific
+group or a specific test case within a specific group,
+using the variable <code class="literal">t</code>. Note that this only applies to
+suite-specific targets, like the <code class="literal">ct-http</code> example above.</p><p>To run all tests from the <code class="literal">http_compress</code> group in the
+<code class="literal">http_SUITE</code> test suite, write:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make ct-http t=http_compress</pre><p>Similarly, to run a specific test case in that group:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make ct-http t=http_compress:headers_dupe</pre><p>To do the same against a multi-application repository,
+you can use the <code class="literal">-C</code> option:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make -C apps/my_app ct-http t=my_group:my_case</pre><p>Note that this also applies to dependencies. When using Cowboy
+as a dependency, you can run the following directly:</p><pre class="programlisting">$ make -C deps/cowboy ct-http t=http_compress</pre><p>Finally, <a class="ulink" href="coverage.asciidoc" target="_top">code coverage</a> is available,
