+## 🧪 | Running Tests
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Run unit tests with:
+
+```bash
+go test -v $(go list ./... | grep -v /integration_test)
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Integration tests require the service to be running first.
+
+1. Start the service:
+
+```bash
+go run main.go
+```
+
+2. In another terminal, run the integration tests:
+
+```bash
+API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 go test -v ./integration_test/...
+```
+
+### Testing with Act
+
+You can use [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) to test GitHub Actions locally.
+
+For unit tests:
+
+```bash
+act -j unit-tests
+```
+
+For integration tests, you need to use the `--bind` flag:
+
+```bash
+act -j integration-tests --bind
+```
