 ## Adding Tests for New or Existing Features
 
-If you want to unit test some feature, then take a look at the existing serial_link tests, in the `quantum/serial_link/tests folder`, and follow the steps below to create a similar structure.
+If you want to unit test a feature, take a look at some of the existing tests, for example those in the `quantum/sequencer/tests` folder. Then follow the steps below to create a similar structure.
 
 1. If it doesn't already exist, add a test subfolder to the folder containing the feature.
 2. Create a `testlist.mk` and a `rules.mk` file in that folder.
 3. Include those files from the root folder `testlist.mk`and `build_test.mk` respectively.
-4. Add a new name for your testgroup to the `testlist.mk` file. Each group defined there will be a separate executable. And that's how you can support mocking out different parts. Note that it's worth adding some common prefix, just like it's done for the serial_link tests. The reason for that is that the make command allows substring filtering, so this way you can easily run a subset of the tests.

    * `_SRC` for source files
    * `_DEFS` for additional defines
