+## Testing
+
+This crate contains several tests that can be run with `cargo test`.
+
+If `backend_vsock` feature is enabled (true by default), some of the tests use
+the AF_VSOCK loopback address [CID = 1] to run the tests, so you must have
+loaded the kernel module that handles it (`modprobe vsock_loopback`).
+
+Otherwise you may experience the following failures:
+```
+...
+test thread_backend::tests::test_vsock_thread_backend_vsock ... FAILED
+...
+test vhu_vsock_thread::tests::test_vsock_thread_vsock_backend ... FAILED

+
+With the `vsock_loopback` kernel module loaded in your system, all the tests
+should pass.
