+##### Using an Aura instance
+
+> ![WARNING]
+> Running the tests will create new data and might change and delete existing data or entire databases.
+> Do not use a production instance.
+
+Running a test against an Aura instance can be done by setting the values as outlined above.
+However, the environment variables used do not match the names that are given in the connection file when an Aura instance is created.
+
+By setting the environment variable `NEO4RS_TEST_ON_AURA` to `1`, the tests will look for the environment variables as they are used in the connection file.
+The tests can then also be run by using a `dotenv` like tool, e.g.
+
+```sh
+dotenvx run -f .auraenv -e NEO4RS_TEST_ON_AURA=1 -- cargo test
+```
+
+> ![NOTE]
+> Some tests might also use features not available on Aura and will fail.

 ### Updating `Cargo.lock` files for CI
 
 We have CI tests that verify the MSRV as well as the minimal version of the dependencies.
