 ## Unit Tests
 
+Before opening a pull request you should run the linter checks and
+the short tests.
+
+### Execute linter
+
+execute `make lint`
+
 ### Execute short tests
 
-execute `make test-short`
+execute `make test`
 
-### Execute long tests
+### Execute integration tests
 
-As Telegraf collects metrics from several third-party services it becomes a
-difficult task to mock each service as some of them have complicated protocols
-which would take some time to replicate.
+Running the integration tests requires several docker containers to be
+running.  You can start the containers with:
+```
+make docker-run
+```
 
-To overcome this situation we've decided to use docker containers to provide a
-fast and reproducible environment to test those services which require it.
-For other situations
-(i.e: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/plugins/inputs/redis/redis_test.go)
-a simple mock will suffice.
+And run the full test suite with:
+```
+make test-all
+```
 
-To execute Telegraf tests follow these simple steps:
-
-- Install docker following [these](https://docs.docker.com/installation/)
-instructions
-- execute `make test`
-
-### Unit test troubleshooting

-Try cleaning up your test environment by executing `make docker-kill` and
