+## End-to-End Testing
+
+The project includes comprehensive end-to-end tests that validate the full workflow described in this README. These tests:
+
+1. Create a Kind cluster
+2. Deploy the ACP operator
+3. Deploy sample resources (LLMs, MCP Servers, Agents, Tasks)
+4. Deploy the observability stack
+5. Verify all components are running correctly
+6. Test the complete workflow with Task execution
+
+To run the e2e tests that validate the README workflow:
+
+```bash
+make test-e2e
+```
+
+This command:
+- Builds the controller Docker image
+- Loads it into Kind
+- Sets up necessary components (Prometheus, cert-manager if not present)
+- Runs the e2e test suite
+- Verifies resources are created and functioning correctly
+
+The tests can be found in the `acp/test/e2e` directory, with `workflow_test.go` containing the tests that validate the workflow described in this README.
+
+These tests serve as both validation of the codebase and as a working example of how to programmatically deploy and verify the ACP system.
