+TPS is a test automation framework for Firefox Sync. See
+https://developer.mozilla.org/en/TPS for documentation.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+TPS requires several packages to operate properly. To install TPS and
+required packages, use the INSTALL.sh script, provided:
+
+ python3 create_venv.py /path/to/create/virtualenv
+
+This script will create a virtalenv and install TPS into it.
+
+You must then activate the virtualenv by executing:
+
+- (mac/linux): source /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts/activate
+- (win): /path/to/virtualenv/Scripts/activate.bat
+
+TPS can then be run by executing:
+
+ runtps --binary=/path/to/firefox
+
+> Note: You can run the tps tests in headless mode by using `MOZ_HEADLESS=1`. This will make
+> your computer somewhat useable while the tests are running.
+
+When you are done with TPS, you can deactivate the virtualenv by executing
+`deactivate`
+
+Configuration
+=============
+To edit the TPS configuration, do not edit config/config.json.in in the tree.
+Instead, edit config.json inside your virtualenv; it will be located at the
+top level of where you specified the virtualenv be created - eg, for the
+example above, it will be `/path/to/create/virtualenv/config.json`
+
+Setting Up Test Accounts
+========================
+
+Firefox Accounts
+----------------
+To create a test account for using the Firefox Account authentication perform the
+following steps:
+
+> Note: Currently, the TPS tests rely on how restmail returns the verification code
+> You should use restmail or something very similar.
+> Gmail and other providers might give a `The request was blocked for security reasons`
+
+1. Go to the URL: http://restmail.net/mail/%account_prefix%@restmail.net
+ - Replace `%account_prefix%` with your own test name
+2. Go to https://accounts.firefox.com/signup?service=sync&context=fx_desktop_v1
+3. Sign in with the previous chosen email address and a password
+4. Go back to the Restmail URL, reload the page
+5. Search for the verification link and open that page
+
+Now you will be able to use this account for TPS. Note that these
+steps can be done in either a test profile or in a private browsing window - you
+might want to avoid doing that in a "real" profile that's already connected to
+Sync.
