+# E2E Testing of the Redis Cluster with Kuttl
+
+This guide will walk you through the process of end-to-end (E2E) testing a Redis cluster using the `kuttl` utility.
+
+## **Prerequisites**
+
+Ensure you have the following tools installed:
+
+- **kuttl**: For testing. [Installation Guide](https://kuttl.dev/docs/installation/)
+- **kind**: For local Kubernetes clusters. [Installation Guide](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/#installation)
+- **kubectl**: Kubernetes command-line tool. [Installation Guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
+- **helm**: Package manager for Kubernetes. [Installation Guide](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
+
+## **Steps**
+
+### **1. Set Up a 3-node Kind Cluster**
+
+## Steps to Follow
+
+### 1. Set Up a 3-node Kind Cluster
+
+Create a 3-node kind cluster using the provided configuration:
+
+```bash
+kind create cluster --config /redis-operator/tests/_config/kind-example-config.yaml
+```
+
+### 2. Install the Redis Operator
+
+To install the Redis operator, utilize the Helm chart from the repository provided:
+
+- [OT-CONTAINER-KIT Redis Operator Helm Chart](https://github.com/OT-CONTAINER-KIT/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/redis-operator#readme)
+
+Please refer to the repository's README for detailed instructions on installing the operator using Helm.
+
+### 3. Execute Kuttl Test
+
+Execute the kuttl test using the following command:
+
+```bash
+kubectl kuttl test redis-operator/tests/e2e/v1beta2 --config /redis-operator/tests/_config/kuttl-test.yaml --timeout 10m
+```
