 ## Local Development and Testing
 
-All the methods in the `commonTopoSuite` interface must be implemented.
+If writing tests for peering with no shared topology, this recommendation does not apply. The following methods below not necessarily need to be implmented. For shared topology tests, all the methods in the `sharedTopoSuite` interface must be implemented.
 
 - `testName()` prepends the test suite name to each test in the test suite.
 - `setup()` phase must ensure that any resources added to the topology cannot interfere with other tests. Principally by prefixing.
 - `test()` phase must be "passive" and not mutate the topology in any way that would interfere with other tests.
 
-Common topology peering tests are defined in the [test-integ/peering_commontopo/](/test-integ/peering_commontopo/) subdirectory and new peering integration tests should always be added to this location. Adding integration tests that does not modify the topology should always start by invoking
