+#libvulkan_test
+
+This binary contains the unit tests for testing libvulkan (The Vulkan Loader).
+
+These tests rely on the underlying GPU driver to be able to successfully create a valid
+swapchain. These tests are design to run on an Android emulator to give us a consistent GPU
+driver to test against. YMMV when running this on a physical device with an arbitrary GPU
+driver.
+
+To run these tests run:
+```
+atest libvulkan_test
+```
+
+If using an acloud device the full command list for the root of a freshly cloned repo would be:
+```
+source build/envsetup.sh
+lunch aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-trunk_staging-eng
+m
+acloud create --local-image
+atest libvulkan_test
+```
