+# Compatability Suite
+
+This is the implementation of the [Pact Compatability Suite](https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-compatibility-suite) implemented with Cucumber JVM.
+
+## Running the suite
+
+The suite has Gradle tasks for each of the specification versions. For example, to run the V1 features:
+
+```console
+ ./gradlew :compatibility-suite:v1
+```
+
+### Running just a consumer or provider set of features
+
+Features for just consumer, provider or messages are identified using Cucumber tags. You can run a subset of features
+by providing the matching tags. I.e.:
+
+```console
+ ./gradlew :compatibility-suite:v1 -Pcucumber.filter.tags=@consumer
+```
+
+### Changing the log level
+
+By default, the suite runs with logging set to ERROR. To change it, either edit the file in 
+`compatibility-suite/src/test/resources/logback-test.xml` or provide the `cucumber.log.level` property.
+
+I.e.,
+
+```console
+ ./gradlew :compatibility-suite:v1 -Pcucumber.log.level=DEBUG
+```
