+This page describes the steps necessary for testing of a new toolset.
+
+== Configure the toolset ==
+
+First, make sure the compiler is in {{{PATH}}}. Then, locate the Boost.Build V2 configuration file, {{{user-config.jam}}}. If you never heard
+about it, it's located in Boost.Build V2 root (tools/build/v2 directory in C++ Boost tree).
+Add one line to that file:
+{{{
+   using new_toolset_name ;
+}}}
+Don't forget the space character before the semicolon.
+
+== Try the simplest example ==
+
+Go to the {{{$(boost_build_root)/example/hello}}} directory, and run 
+{{{
+bjam new_toolset_name
+}}} 
+If there any errors, report them and stop.
+
+== Try more contrived example ==
+
+Go to the {{{$(boost_build_root)/example/libraries}}} directory, and run 
+{{{
+bjam new_toolset_name
+}}}
+If there any errors, report them and stop.
+
+== Run full regression tests ==
+
+If you have Python installed, go to the {{{$(boost_build_root)/test}}} directory, and run 
+{{{
+python test_all.py new_toolset_name
+}}}
+Report the results.
