 ## Tests Design Requirements
 A deployment-agnostic test is contained within a single test file and always utilizes the [DeploymentAgnosticFtrProviderContext](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/x-pack/test/api_integration/deployment_agnostic/ftr_provider_context.d.ts) to load compatible FTR services. A compatible FTR service must support:

 Since deployment-agnostic tests are designed to run both locally and on MKI/Cloud, we believe no extra tagging is required. If a test is not working on MKI/Cloud or both, there is most likely an issue with the FTR service or the configuration file it uses.
 
 When a test fails on CI, automation will apply `.skip` to the top-level describe block. This means the test will be skipped in **both serverless and stateful environments**. If a test is unstable in a specific environment only, it is probably a sign that the test is not truly deployment-agnostic.

+## Migrating existing tests
+If your tests align with the outlined criteria and requirements, you can migrate them to deployment-agnostic by following these steps:
+
+1. Move your tests to the `x-pack/test/api_integration/deployment_agnostic/apis/<plugin>` directory.
+2. Update each test file to use the `DeploymentAgnosticFtrProviderContext` context and load the required FTR services it provides.
+3. Ensure the `roleScopedSupertest` or `samlAuth` service is used instead for `supertest` for authentication and test API calls.
+4. Remove all usage of the `supertest` service. It is authenticated as system index superuser and often causes test failures on Cloud, where priveleges are more strict.
+5. Avoid modifying `config` files, as this could disrupt test runs in Cloud environments.
+6. Include your tests in both the platform and at least one solution index file.
+7. Execute your tests locally against a local environment.
+8. Verify your tests by running them locally against a real MKI project and an ESS deployment to ensure full compatibility.
