+## Unit testing requirement guidelines
+
+Unit Testing (UT) has been introduced with the aim of improving the quality and
+reliability of the code.
+In this introductory phase, we suggest that contributors become familiar with
+the unit testing in SCP-firmware.
+In the meantime, while we are not enforcing contibutors to add unit testing on
+their additions or modifications, we encourage them to attempt adding UT
+whenever compatible with their development.
+We foresee that UT will become a mandatory requirement later in the future for
+contributions into SCP-firmware project.
