+## Testing strategies
+
+There are many testing strategies you may wish to employ when testing your
+Servant application, but included below are three common testing patterns:
+
+- We'll use `servant-client` to derive client functions and then make valid
+requests of our API, running in another thread. This is great for testing
+that our **business logic** is correctly implemented with only valid HTTP
+requests.
+
+- We'll also use `hspec-wai` to make **arbitrary HTTP requests**, in order to
+test how our application may respond to invalid or otherwise unexpected
+requests.
+
+- Finally, we can also use `servant-quickcheck` for **whole-API tests**, in order
+to assert that our entire application conforms to **best practices**.
+
+## Useful Libraries
+
+The following libraries will often come in handy when we decide to test our
+Servant applications:
+
+- [hspec](https://hspec.github.io/)
+- [hspec-wai](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hspec-wai)
+- [QuickCheck](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck)
