 ## Background
 
 * For more information about monitoring mixins, see this [design doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A9xvzwqnFVSOZ5fD3blKODXfsat5fg6ZhnKu9LK3lB4/edit#).
+
+## Testing alerts
+
+Make sure to have [jsonnet](https://jsonnet.org/) and [gojsontoyaml](https://github.com/brancz/gojsontoyaml) installed.
+
+First compile the mixin to a YAML file, which the promtool will read:
+```
+jsonnet -e '(import "mixin.libsonnet").prometheusAlerts' | gojsontoyaml > mixin.yaml
+```
+
+Then run the unit test:
+```
+promtool test rules test.yaml
+```
