 ## Contribution workflow
@@ -18,13 +19,19 @@ If you'd like to write some code for nf-core/spatialxe, the standard workflow is
 1. Check that there isn't already an issue about your idea in the [nf-core/spatialxe issues](https://github.com/nf-core/spatialxe/issues) to avoid duplicating work. If there isn't one already, please create one so that others know you're working on this
 2. [Fork](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo) the [nf-core/spatialxe repository](https://github.com/nf-core/spatialxe) to your GitHub account

 5. Submit a Pull Request against the `dev` branch and wait for the code to be reviewed and merged
 
 If you're not used to this workflow with git, you can start with some [docs from GitHub](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests) or even their [excellent `git` resources](https://try.github.io/).
 
 ## Tests
 
+You have the option to test your changes locally by running the pipeline. For receiving warnings about process selectors and other `debug` information, it is recommended to use the debug profile. Execute all the tests with the following command:
+
+```bash
+nf-test test --profile debug,test,docker --verbose
+```

 When you create a pull request with changes, [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) will run automatic tests.
 Typically, pull-requests are only fully reviewed when these tests are passing, though of course we can help out before then.

 ### Default processes resource requirements
 
-Sensible defaults for process resource requirements (CPUs / memory / time) for a process should be defined in `conf/base.config`. These should generally be specified generic with `withLabel:` selectors so they can be shared across multiple processes/steps of the pipeline. A nf-core standard set of labels that should be followed where possible can be seen in the [nf-core pipeline template](https://github.com/nf-core/tools/blob/master/nf_core/pipeline-template/conf/base.config), which has the default process as a single core-process, and then different levels of multi-core configurations for increasingly large memory requirements defined with standardised labels.
