+How to Test Migration Recipes
+=============================
+
+To test migration recipes, use the following mach command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./mach fluent-migration-test python/l10n/fluent_migrations/bug_1485002_newtab.py
+
+This will analyze your migration recipe to check that the :python:`migrate`
+function exists, and interacts correctly with the migration context. Once that
+passes, it clones :bash:`gecko-strings` into :bash:`$OBJDIR/python/l10n`, creates a
+reference localization by adding your local Fluent strings to the ones in
+:bash:`gecko-strings`. It then runs the migration recipe, both as dry run and
+as actual migration. Finally it analyzes the commits, and checks if any
+migrations were actually run and the bug number in the commit message matches
+the migration name.
+
+It will also show the diff between the migrated files and the reference, ignoring
+blank lines.
+
+You can inspect the generated repository further by looking at
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ls $OBJDIR/python/l10n/bug_1485002_newtab/en-US
+
+Caveats
+-------
+
+Be aware of hard-coded English context in migration. Consider for example:
+
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ ctx.add_transforms(
+ "browser/browser/preferences/siteDataSettings.ftl",
+ "browser/browser/preferences/siteDataSettings.ftl",
+ transforms_from(
+ """
+ site-usage-persistent = { site-usage-pattern } (Persistent)
+ """)
+ )
+
+
+This Transform will pass a manual comparison, since the two files are identical,
+but will result in :js:`(Persistent)` being hard-coded in English for all
+languages.
