 ### Configuring your test control plane
-You can use environment variables and/or flags to specify the `api-server` and `etcd` setup within your integration tests.
 
+You can use environment variables and/or flags to specify the `kubectl`, `api-server` and `etcd` setup within your 
+integration tests. The location of the binaries which will be used by the EnvTest is done due the following environment 
+variables. See:
+
+```shell
+  export TEST_ASSET_KUBECTL=<kubectl bin path>
+  export TEST_ASSET_KUBE_APISERVER=<api-server bin path>
+  export TEST_ASSET_ETCD=/<etd bin path>
+``` 
+
+Note that `kubebuilder` scaffold in your Makefile the `testsetup` target which creates the `testbin/` directory in the 
+project where you will find its required binaries by default. Also, this target will setup the above environment 
+variables to looking for them in the created directory as well.
