+# Integration Tests
+This directory contains integration tests for the autotick-bot.
+The tests are run against actual GitHub repositories, and are used to verify that the
+bot works as expected in an environment closely resembling production.
+
+## Environment Variables
+The tests require the following environment variables to be set:
+
+| Variable                       | Description                                                                                    |
+|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `GH_TOKEN_STAGING_CONDA_FORGE` | Personal Access Token (PAT) for the `conda-forge-bot-staging` GitHub organization (see below). |
+| `GH_TOKEN_STAGING_BOT_USER`    | PAT for `cf-regro-autotick-bot-staging` GitHub user (see below).                               |
+| `GH_TOKEN_STAGING_REGRO`       | PAT for the `regro-staging` GitHub organization (see below).                                   |
+| `GITHUB_OUTPUT`                | Set by GitHub. Name of an output file for script outputs.                                      |
+| `GITHUB_RUN_ID`                | Set by GitHub. ID of the current run. Used as random seed.                                     |
+
+
+### GitHub Token Permissions
+All tokens should have the following permissions:
+
+**Repository Access:** All repositories.
+
+**Repository Permissions:**
+- Actions: read and write
+- Administration: read and write
+- Contents: read and write
+- Metadata: read-only
+- Pull requests: read and write
+- Workflows: read and write
+
+**Organization Permissions:** None.
+
+## Structure of the Test Case Definitions
+Inside the `definitions` module, each feedstock that is part of the test suite has its own
+submodule.
