-Refer to the [Ansible Contributing guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/index.html) to learn how to contribute to this collection.
+In this guide, you will find information relevant for code contributions, though any other kinds of contribution mentioned in the [Ansible Contributing guidelines](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/index.html) are equally appreciated and valuable.
 
-Refer to the [review checklist](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_reviewing.html) when triaging issues or reviewing PRs.
+If you have any questions after reading, please contact the community via one or more of the [available channels](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql#communication). Any feedback on this guide is very welcome.
+
+## Reviewing open issue and pull requests
+
+Refer to the [review checklist](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/collection_contributors/collection_reviewing.html) when triaging issues or reviewing pull requests (hereinafter PRs).
+
+Most important things to pay attention to:
+
+- Do not let major/breaking changes sneak into a minor/bugfix release! All such changes should be discussed in a dedicated issue, added to a corresponding milestone (which can be found or created in the project's Issues), and merged right before the major release. Take a look at similar issues to see what needs to be done and reflect on the steps you did/need to do in the issue.
+- Every PR (except doc, refactoring, test-related, or a PR containing a new module/plugin) contains a [changelog fragment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/development_process.html#creating-a-changelog-fragment). Let's give users a chance to know about the changes.
+- Every new module `DOCUMENTATION` section contains the `version_added: 'x.y.z'` field. Besides the informative purpose, it is used by the changelog-generating tool to add a corresponding entry to the changelog. As the project follows SemVer, it is typically a next minor (x.y.0) version.
+- Every new module argument contains the `version_added: 'x.y.z'` field. As the project follows SemVer, it is typically a next minor (x.y.0) version.
+- Non-refactoring code changes (bugfixes, new features) are covered with, at least, integration tests! There can be exceptions but generally it is a requirement.
+
+## Code contributions
+
+If you want to submit a bugfix or new feature, refer to the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+## Project-specific info
+
+We assume you have read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html).
+
+In order for any submitted PR to get merged, this project requires sanity, unit, and integration tests to pass.
+Codecov job is there but not required.
+We use the GitHub Actions platform to run the tests.
+You can see the result in the bottom of every PR in the box listing the jobs and their results:
+
+- Green checkmark: the test has been passed, no more action is needed.
+- Red cross: the test has failed. You can see the reason by clicking the ``Details`` link. Fix them locally and push the commit.
+
+Generally, all jobs must be green.
+Sometimes, there can be failures unrelated to a PR, for example, when a test container is unavailable or there is another part of the code that does not satisfy recently introduced additional sanity checks.
+If you think the failure does not relate to your changes, put a comment about it.
+
+## CI testing
+
+The jobs are launched automatically by GitHub Actions in every PR based on the [matrix](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/.github/workflows/ansible-test-plugins.yml).
+
+As the project is included in `ansible` community package, it is a requirement for us to test against all supported `ansible-core` versions and corresponding Python versions.
+To keep the matrix relevant, we are subscribed to the [news-for-maintainers](https://github.com/ansible-collections/news-for-maintainers) repository and the [Collection maintainers & contributors](https://forum.ansible.com/g/CollectionMaintainer) forum group to track announcements affecting CI.
+
+If our matrix is permanently outdated, for example, when supported `ansible-core` versions are missed, the collections can get excluded from the package, so keep it updated!
+
+Read more about our CI implementation in the [TESTING.md](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/TESTING.md) file.
+
+## Adding tests
+
+If you are new here, read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+When fixing a bug, first reproduce it by adding a task as reported to a suitable file under the ``tests/integration/targets/<module_name>/tasks/`` directory and run the integration tests as described below. The same is relevant for new features.
+
+It is not necessary but if you want you can also add unit tests to a suitable file under the ``tests/units/`` directory and run them as described below.
+
+## Checking your code locally
+
+It will make your and other people's life a bit easier if you run the tests locally and fix all failures before pushing. If you're unable to run the tests locally, please create your PR as a **draft** to avoid reviewers being added automatically.
+
+If you are new here, read the [Quick-start development guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html) first.
+
+We assume you [prepared your local environment](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/community/create_pr_quick_start.html#prepare-your-environment) as described in the guide before running the following commands. Otherwise, the command will fail.
+
+### Sanity tests
+
+``` console
+$ ansible-test sanity path/to/changed_file.py --docker -v
+```
+
+### Integration tests
+
+See the [TESTING.md](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/blob/main/TESTING.md) file to learn how to run integration tests against different server/connector versions.
+
+### Unit tests
+
+``` console
+$ ansible-test units tests/unit/plugins/unit_test_file.py --docker
+```
