+# Contributing to PHP ActiveRecord #
+
+We always appreciate contributions to PHP ActiveRecord, but we are not always able to respond as quickly as we would like.
+Please do not take delays personal and feel free to remind us by commenting on issues.
+
+### Testing ###
+
+PHP ActiveRecord has a full set of unit tests, which are run by PHPUnit.
+
+In order to run these unit tests, you need to install the required packages using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):
+
+```sh
+composer install
+```
+
+After that you can run the tests by invoking the local PHPUnit
+
+To run all test simply use:
+
+```sh
+vendor/bin/phpunit
+```
+
+Or run a single test file by specifying its path:
+
+```sh
+vendor/bin/phpunit test/InflectorTest.php
+```
