# E2E Testing End-to-end (e2e) testing is automated testing for real user scenarios. ## Build and run test Prerequisites: - a running k8s cluster and kube config. We will need to pass kube config as arguments. - Have kubeconfig file ready. - Have etcd operator image ready. e2e tests are written as go test. All go test techniques applies, e.g. picking what to run, timeout length. Let's say I want to run all tests in "test/e2e/": ``` $ go test -v ./test/e2e/ --kubeconfig "$HOME/.kube/config" --operator-image=gcr.io/coreos-k8s-scale-testing/etcd-operator ```
