+# MoveVM for Substrate
 
-This is a modified MoveVM fork for the use of MoveVM in the [pallet-move](https://github.com/eigerco/pallet-move) Substrate repo.
+This is a modified MoveVM fork for the use of MoveVM in the [pallet-move] Substrate repo.
+Please check the [pallet-move] repository to learn more about this project.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-### smove
 `smove` is a package manager for Move language in Substrate. Follow the [instructions](https://github.com/eigerco/smove) to install it.
 
+## Development
+
+For the initial development setup, run the script:
+```sh
+./scripts/dev_setup.sh -ypt
+```
+
+### Design
+
+[pallet-move] uses the `move-vm-backend` to interact with the MoveVM.
+
+The integral part of MoveVM functionality still lies within the `language` directory and contains only the necessary modifications which make the MoveVM operable within the Substrate framework.
+
+### Testing
+
+To run tests for the MoveVM implementation, execute:
+```sh
+cargo test
+```
+
+To run tests for the `move-vm-backend` implementation, execute:
+```sh
+cargo test -p move-vm-backend --features build-move-projects-for-test # the `backend` main crate
+cargo test -p move-vm-backend-common --features build-move-projects-for-test # helper crate for interaction with smove and pallet-move
+cargo test -p move-vm-support # helper crate for interaction with language directory
+```
+_Note: the feature flag `build-move-projects-for-test` needs to be provided only once in order to build all the necessary `move-vm-backend/tests/assets/move-projects/` projects for test purposes (with the `smove-build-all.sh` script). Also, the feature flag needs to be provided whenever any of those Move projects are modified._
