+## Debugging the tests
+
+To debug the tests, invoke the runtests-browser using jake.
+You will probably only want to debug one test at a time:
+
+```Shell
+jake runtests-browser tests=2dArrays
+```
+
+You can specify which browser to use for debugging. Currently Chrome and IE are supported:
+
+```Shell
+jake runtests-browser tests=2dArrays browser=chrome
+```
+
+You can debug with VS Code or Node instead with `jake runtests debug=true`:
+
+```Shell
+jake runtests tests=2dArrays debug=true
+```
+
 ## Adding a Test
 To add a new testcase, simply place a `.ts` file in `tests\cases\compiler` containing code that exemplifies the bugfix or change you are making.
