+# CI Testing Quick Reference
+
+## What Happens on Every Commit
+
+When you push code or create a PR, GitHub Actions will:
+
+```
+1. ✅ Checkout code
+2. ✅ Install dependencies (including libfontconfig1-dev)
+3. ✅ Build FreeCaster plugin
+4. ✅ Build FreeCasterTests executable    ← NEW
+5. ✅ Run 4,402 test assertions           ← NEW
+6. ✅ Create distribution packages
+7. ✅ Upload artifacts
+```
+
+## CI Test Output
+
+You'll see this in the GitHub Actions log:
+
+```bash
+Building FreeCaster unit tests...
+cd build
+make FreeCasterTests -j$(nproc)
+[100%] Built target FreeCasterTests
+
+Running FreeCaster unit tests...
+cd build
+./FreeCasterTests
+
+=== Test Summary ===
+Total tests: 4402
+Passed: 4402
+Failed: 0
+===================
+
+✅ All tests passed!
+```
+
+## How to View Results
+
+### On GitHub
+1. Go to your repo
+2. Click **Actions** tab  
+3. Select the workflow run
+4. Expand **"Run Unit Tests"** step
+
+### PR Checks
+Every PR will show:
+- ✅ **Build FreeCaster** - All checks passed
+- ❌ **Build FreeCaster** - Tests failed
+
+## What Triggers CI
+
+- Push to `main` branch
+- Pull request to `main` branch
+- Manual workflow dispatch (if enabled)
+
+## Test Categories Validated
+
+| Test Suite | Tests | What It Validates |
+|------------|-------|-------------------|
+| RaopClientTests | 15 | RTSP/RTP protocol parsing |
+| StreamBufferTests | 7 | Thread-safe buffer operations |
+| AudioEncoderTests | 7 | PCM encoding accuracy |
+| AirPlayDeviceTests | 7 | Device model validation |
+| **Total** | **36 suites** | **4,402 assertions** |
+
+## If Tests Fail
+
+The workflow will:
+1. Stop immediately after test failure
+2. Show which test failed
+3. Mark the check as ❌ failed
+4. Prevent merge (if branch protection enabled)
+
+Example failure output:
+```
+!!! Test 5 failed: Buffer should be empty
+Expected value: 0, Actual value: 512
+
+FAILED!! 1 test failed, out of 5
+
+❌ Tests failed!
+Error: Process completed with exit code 1.
+```
+
+## Local vs CI Testing
+
+### Run Locally
+```bash
+cd build
+make FreeCasterTests -j$(nproc)
+./FreeCasterTests
+```
+
+### Same as CI
+The local tests are **identical** to CI tests. If they pass locally, they'll pass in CI (assuming same environment).
+
+## Debugging CI Failures
+
+### 1. Reproduce Locally
+```bash
+# Use the same Ubuntu version as CI
+docker run -it ubuntu:24.04
+# Install dependencies (from workflow)
+# Run tests
+```
+
+### 2. Check Logs
+Look for:
+- Failed test names
+- Expected vs actual values
+- Stack traces (if any)
+
+### 3. Common Issues
+- **Timing**: Thread-safety tests may be timing-sensitive
+- **Environment**: Missing dependencies
+- **Random seed**: Check the seed in test output
+
+## Performance
+
+| Step | Time |
+|------|------|
+| Build tests | ~30s |
+| Run tests | <1s |
+| **Total overhead** | **~30s** |
+
+## Dependencies Added
+
+New dependency for test builds:
+```yaml
+libfontconfig1-dev  # Font configuration (JUCE graphics)
+```
+
+All other dependencies were already present.
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+Potential enhancements:
+- [ ] Test coverage reporting
+- [ ] Performance benchmarks
+- [ ] macOS test execution
+- [ ] Windows test execution
+- [ ] Test result artifacts
+- [ ] Slack/Discord notifications
+
+## Status
+
+✅ **Active** - Tests run on every commit  
+✅ **Linux** - Fully integrated  
+⏳ **macOS** - Can be added  
+⏳ **Windows** - Can be added  
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+```bash
+# View workflow file
+cat .github/workflows/build.yml
+
+# Validate YAML
+python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/build.yml'))"
+
+# Run tests locally
+cd build && ./FreeCasterTests
+
+# Build from scratch
+rm -rf build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make FreeCasterTests
+```
