+# Selenium tests
+
+Please see tests/selenium/README.md file in mediawiki/core repository (usually at mediawiki/vagrant/mediawiki).
+
+## Usage
+
+Set up MediaWiki-Vagrant:
+
+    cd mediawiki/vagrant
+    vagrant up
+    vagrant provision
+    cd mediawiki
+    npm install
+
+Run both mediawiki/core and skin tests from mediawiki/core folder:
+
+    npm run selenium
+
+To run only skin tests, first in one terminal tab (or window) start Chromedriver:
+
+    chromedriver --url-base=wd/hub --port=4444
+
+Then, in another terminal tab (or window) go to mediawiki/core folder:
+
+    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/*.js
+
+Run only one skin test file from mediawiki/core folder:
+
+    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/FILE-NAME.js
+
+To run only one skin test from mediawiki/core folder (name contains string 'TEST-NAME'):
+
+    ./node_modules/.bin/wdio tests/selenium/wdio.conf.js --spec skins/SKIN-NAME/tests/selenium/specs/FILE-NAME.js --mochaOpts.grep preferences TEST-NAME
