+# Manual Testing
+
+This document is for manual integration testing. It is organized according to the
+release version. It contains commands to run and shows what should be included in
+the request headers.
+
+## Version `0.1.0`
+
+### Setup
+
+Make sure to begin with a new Miniconda install, and follow these steps:
+
+Install the latest development version of conda:
+
+```commandline
+conda install conda-canary/label/dev::conda
+```
+
+Clone this repository locally:
+
+```
+git clone git@github.com:anaconda/anaconda-conda-telemetry.git
+```
+
+Use pip to install the plugin:
+
+```commandline
+pip install -e anaconda-conda-telemetry
+```
+
+### Tests
+
+All the tests should be run with the `-v -v -v` flags so that the headers can be inspected.
+
+#### Test to ensure search terms are being submitted
+
+Test command:
+
+```
+conda search conda -v -v -v
+```
+
+Expected headers
+

+
+
+#### Test to ensure other commands behave as expected
+
+The delete command will attempt to retrieve repodata and therefore submit telemetry headers.
+It won't have any extra headers like the above commands (e.g. `Anaconda-Telemetry-Install` or
+`Anaconda-Telemetry-Search`).
+
+Test command:
+
+```
+conda remove conda -v -v -v
+```
