 ## Executing Tests
 
-All tests are located in the `\test` directory.
-
-### Preparing the test database
-
-Some of the behavioural test expect a test database to be present. You need at
-least 2GB RAM and 10GB disk space to create the database.
-
-First create a separate directory for the test DB and Fetch the test planet
-data and the Tiger data for South Dakota:
-
-```
-mkdir testdb
-cd testdb
-wget https://www.nominatim.org/data/test/nominatim-api-testdata.pbf
-wget -O - https://nominatim.org/data/tiger2018-nominatim-preprocessed.tar.gz | tar xz --wildcards --no-anchored '46*'
-```
-
-Configure and build Nominatim in the usual way:
-
-```
-cmake $USERNAME/Nominatim
-make
-```
+All tests are located in the `/test` directory.
 
-Copy the test settings:
-
-```
-cp $USERNAME/Nominatim/test/testdb/local.php settings/
-```
-
-Inspect the file to check that all settings are correct for your local setup.
-
-Now you can import the test database:
-
-```
-dropdb --if-exists test_api_nominatim
-./utils/setup.php --all --osm-file nominatim-api-testdb.pbf 2>&1 | tee import.log
-./utils/specialphrases.php --wiki-import | psql -d test_api_nominatim 2>&1 | tee -a import.log
-./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data 2>&1 | tee -a import.log
-```

+To run all tests just go to the build directory and run make:
