-Run testamf1 on one node, testamf3 testamf4 on another node.
-One will become active one standby.  testamf2 is special in that it shows
-reporting and canceling an error.  Run testamf2 on the node testamf1
-was run from.  The ha states and readiness states will be shown.
+The test/testamf{1-6} implement three seperate service units (SU).  SU #1
+consists of testamf1, testamf2.  SU #2 consists of testamf3, testamf4.
+SU #3 consists of testamf5, testamf6.  The active and backup directives 
+in groups.conf define how many SU's become active and how many
+become standby in the service group (SG).
+
+To test the AIS AMF, run testamf3 and testamf4 on one node.  Both
+components become in service and active.  Then run testamf1.  Nothing
+appears to happen, because testamf1 is not placed in service (and made
+standby) until testamf2 is registered.  Running testamf2 will show 
+a variety of state changes.  testamf1 will match these state changes.
+testamf2 is special because is reports an error, and later cancels
+the error, causing the entire SU to go out of service, then back in
+service.  This behavior is expected by the AIS specification and the
+code in testamf2.c can be read for a clearer understanding of what
+is happening.
+
+Pressing ctrl-z to background the task (which causes the heartbeat to
+timeout) on a component will cause the remaining component to go
+out of service.  If ctrl-z is pressed on the active SU, the standby
+SU will become active.  CTRL-C on these tests behaves the same way.
+A crash behaves the same way.
