+The Demos folder has several different example prado applications. You can see more information about these applications here: http://www.pradosoft.com/demos/ . When you create your own prado application you do NOT need these folders.

+## Testing
+
+Prado uses phpunit (https://phpunit.de/) for testing, phing (http://www.phing.info/) for building, and Selenum (http://www.seleniumhq.org/) for web browser emulation.
+
+Running `phing` with no arguments will show you the different tests/builds that are setup in build.xml.
+
+```
