+## Testing in FreeRTOS
+FreeRTOS (kernel and libraries) consists of common code and porting layer. Extensive [static analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_program_analysis) and [dynamic analysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_program_analysis) are done on both to ensure functional correctness of FreeRTOS.
+
+Additional bounded-ness checks are done using [CBMC](https://www.cprover.org/cbmc/). Although these checks do not cover all functions, they cover considerable chunk of code base. Missing CBMC tests will be added later.
+
+For more information on FreeRTOS testing please refer to https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Coding-Standard-and-Style-Guide.html.
+
+## Directory structure
+This directory is in working progress -- we are migrating scattered test cases to this directory. Here only lists what's currently under this directory.
+
+- ```./CBMC```: This directory contains automated proofs of the memory safety of various parts of the FreeRTOS code base.
+- ```./CMock```: This directory has the submoduled version of CMock for providing basis Unit testing
+- ```./Unit-Tests```: This directory has the Unit tests for FreeRTOS-Plus libraries. As of now, just Unit tests for +TCP (testing these).
