+### Running Tests
+
+Tests can be built using this variant of the above cmake / ninja build:
+
+```shell
+$ cmake ../ -GNinja -DTP_BUILD_TESTING=ON
+$ ninja tensorpipe_test
+```

 You can find test executables in `build/tensorpipe/test`.
 
+Tests can be run using (e.g.)
+```shell
+$ ./tensorpipe_test --gtest_filter='-*Ibv*'
