+# Running tests on lxplus
+
+
+## Using scram
+
+To be able to run tests locally enable re-director used internally by `cmsbuild`:
+
+```
+CMS_PATH="/cvmfs/cms-ib.cern.ch" SITECONFIG_PATH="/cvmfs/cms-ib.cern.ch/SITECONF/local" scram b runtests
+```
+
+## Manually (to inspect test output files)
+
+To run the tests in this directory (`Calibration/PPSAlCaRecoProducer/test/`) type:
+
+```
+CMS_PATH="/cvmfs/cms-ib.cern.ch" SITECONFIG_PATH="/cvmfs/cms-ib.cern.ch/SITECONF/local" ./test_express_AlCaRecoProducer.sh
+```
+
+and
+
+```
+SCRAM_TEST_PATH=. ./test_express_PPSAlCaReco_output.sh 
+```
+
+The same can be done for prompt tests
