 ### Running the test suite

 cargo test
 ```
 
-650 tests (137 unit + 506 integration + 7 end-to-end), zero warnings. The e2e
+The test suite covers unit, integration, and end-to-end scenarios. The e2e
 tests generate real projects and compile their C++ test suites, catching
 build-system issues like missing linker flags and include paths. They require
 cmake and a C++ compiler; if those tools are not installed, the compile tests
 skip gracefully and everything else still passes.
 
+#### Full test suite on Linux / WSL
+
+The e2e tests need `cmake`, `g++`, and `arduino-cli` with the AVR core:
+```bash
+sudo apt install cmake g++
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-cli/master/install.sh | sh
+sudo mv bin/arduino-cli /usr/local/bin/
+arduino-cli core install arduino:avr
+```
+
+#### Full test suite on Windows
+
+Install [arduino-cli](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/installation/)
+and add it to your PATH, then install the AVR core:
+```
+arduino-cli core install arduino:avr
+```
+
+CMake and a C++ compiler are needed for the host-side test compilation.
+Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/) and either MinGW-w64 or open
+a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (which provides `cl.exe`).
