+To run a single test file, a couple of them, or a test within a file
+using the ``make check-acceptance`` command, set the ``AVOCADO_TESTS``
+environment variable with the test files or test names. To run all
+tests from a single file, use:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ make check-acceptance AVOCADO_TESTS=$FILEPATH
+
+The same is valid to run tests from multiple test files:
+
+ .. code::
+
+ make check-acceptance AVOCADO_TESTS='$FILEPATH1 $FILEPATH2'
