+## bashbot tests
+Starting with version 0.70 bashbot has a test suite. To start testsuite run ```test/ALL-tests.sh```. ALL-tests.sh will only return 'SUCCESS' if all tests pass.
+
+### creating new tests
+To create a new test create a new bash script named ```p-name-test.sh```, where p is pass 'a-z' and name the name of your test.
+All tests with the same pass are performed together.
+
+Tests with no dependency to other tests will run in pass 'a', tests which need an initialized bahsbot environment must run in pass 'c' or later. 
+If '$1' is present the script is started from 'ALL-tests.sh' and the script runs in a temporary test environment in directory '$1'.
+The temporary test environment is created when 'ALL-tests.sh' starts and deleted after all tests are finished.
+
+Example test
+```bash
+
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# file: z-bashbot-test.sh
+
+# this test should always pass :-)
+echo "Running test if bashbot.sh exists"
+echo "................................."

+if [ -f "bashbot.sh" ]; then
