+## Run the unit tests
+
+To run the unit tests, you must follow the steps below:
+
+1. Create a virtual environment.
+
+```bash
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+2. Install the dependencies.
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+```
+
+3. Have a running IRIS instance.
+
+Here you can choose between:
+
+- Local installation of IRIS
+- Docker installation of IRIS
+
+### Local installation of IRIS
+
+1. Install IRIS locally.
+   
+- [Local installation of IRIS](https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=PAGE_deployment_install)
+- [Python interpreter compatible with the version of IRIS](https://docs.intersystems.com/iris20243/csp/docbook/Doc.View.cls?KEY=GEPYTHON_prereqs#GEPYTHON_prereqs_version)
+- [Iris embedded python wrapper](https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-embedded-python-wrapper)
+  - Make sure to follow the [instructions to install the wrapper in your IRIS instance.](https://github.com/grongierisc/iris-embedded-python-wrapper?tab=readme-ov-file#pre-requisites)
+
+
+2. Then, symbolically this git to the IRIS pyhton directory:
+
+```bash
+ln -s <your_git_dir>/src/iop $IRISINSTALLDIR/python/iop
+```
+
+3. Run the unit tests.
+
+```bash
+pytest
+```
