+## Test documentation
+
+This describes the testing framework for the data model. 
+The different types of tests are organized by the subdirectory and are explained below.
+
+### Test generation of templates
+
+This means means checking expectations that:
+1. Production templates can be generated at all with the version of `schematic` used. 
+2. Production templates look as expected when created (e.g. all the attributes are there).
+
+Issues in case #1 could mean using an old version of version of `schematic` that doesn't support new rules, there is a problem with the data model such as a missing key error, etc. 
+Issues in case #2 could mean changes in template definitions inadvertently led to a different set of attributes than intended for the template.
+
+#### Test fixtures
+
+The fixtures needed are, of course, the data model, as well as the configuration to run, defined in `generate_config.json`.
+
+### Test validation of manifests against their templates
+
+This means checking expectations that:
+1. Manifest data that should pass are indeed passed by `schematic`.
+2. Manifest data that should fail are indeed caught by `schematic`. 
+
+Issues in case #1 lead to a poor experience for data contributors, who wouldn't appreciate spurious validation errors. Issues in case #2 lead to bad data.  
+
+#### Test fixtures
+
+In addition to the data model, some representative `.csv` manifests are needed. 
+The file `validate_config.json` defines the matrix of which manifests should be tested with their respective templates.
+
+### Test submission of manifests (TO DO)
+
+> Note : This will be more complicated than the other two test suites combined.
+
+This means checking that:
+1. Valid manifests can be submitted at all. There have been cases where valid manifests have been unable to be submitted. 
+2. Manifest data are transferred correctly to Synapse (e.g. no weird conversions of types or truncation of data). This requires querying the test data that has been transferred to Synapse.
+
+#### Test fixtures
+
+This uses the same fixtures above plus a definition of what data should look like in Synapse.
