+### Tests
+
+New code should be covered by basic unittests. Depending on the complexity of the feature, Reviewers may request more in-depth unittests.
+If necessary, the Freqtrade team can assist and give guidance with writing good tests (however please don't expect anyone to write the tests for you).
+
+#### Checking log content in tests
+
+Freqtrade uses 2 main methods to check log content in tests, `log_has()` and `log_has_re()` (to check using regex, in case of dynamic log-messages).
+These are available from `conftest.py` and can be imported in any test module.
+
+A sample check looks as follows:
+
+``` python
+from freqtrade.tests.conftest import log_has, log_has_re
+
+def test_method_to_test(caplog):
+    method_to_test()
+
+    assert log_has("This event happened", caplog)
+    # Check regex with trailing number ...
+    assert log_has_re(r"This dynamic event happened and produced \d+", caplog)
+```
+
