 ## Developing
 
-You can use the [bk cli](https://github.com/buildkite/cli) to run the test pipeline locally, or just the tests using Docker Compose directly:
+To run testing, shellchecks and plugin linting use use `bk run` with the [Buildkite CLI](https://github.com/buildkite/cli).
 
 ```bash
-docker-compose run --rm tests
+bk run
+```
+
+Or if you want to run just the tests, you can use the docker [Plugin Tester](https://github.com/buildkite-plugins/buildkite-plugin-tester):
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -ti -v "${PWD}":/plugin buildkite/plugin-tester:latest
