+# Testing
+
+This project uses **end-to-end (E2E) tests** to verify real CLI behavior.
+
+The goal of these tests is to simulate how a real user interacts with
+`create-webpack-starter` via `npx`, including file system side effects.
+
+---
+
+## Test structure
+
+```md
+e2e/
+├── basic.test.js # Basic project creation
+├── template.test.js # Explicit template selection
+├── dry-run.test.js # --dry-run behavior
+├── invalid-template.test.js # Invalid template handling
+├── constants/
+│ └── temp-prefix.js # Prefix for temp directories
+├── helpers/
+│ ├── run-cli.js # Spawns CLI process
+│ ├── temp-dir.js # Creates isolated temp directory
+│ └── cleanup.js # Cleans up old temp directories
+└── package.json
+```
+
+
+---
+
+## Key principles
+
+- Tests invoke the CLI **exactly as a user would**  
+  (no direct imports of internal modules).
+- CLI arguments always represent **project names**, not absolute paths.
+- The working directory (`cwd`) controls where the project is created.
+- Each test runs in an isolated temporary directory.
+- All temporary directories share a common prefix.
+
+---
+
+## Temporary directories
+
+All test-created directories use the prefix: `create-webpack-starter`
+A cleanup script removes stale directories from `/tmp` before and after tests.
+
+---
+
+## Running tests
+
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+#### This command:
+* Cleans up old temp directories 
+* Runs all E2E tests sequentially
+* Cleans up again after completion
+
+#### You can also run cleanup manually:
+
+```bash
+npm run test:cleanup
+```
+
+---
+
+## Why E2E only?
+
+Since this is a CLI tool, behavior matters more than internal structure.
+E2E tests ensure that:
+* prompts work
+* files are created correctly
+* flags behave as expected
+* real-world usage remains stable over time
