+## Running tests
+
+### Packages
+To be able to run this benchmark test, aside from __python3.6__, two packages are needed:
+1. numpy
+2. ortools
+
+These packages can easily be installed with the commands:  
+    pip3 install numpy
+    pip3 install ortools
+
+### Execution
+After installing necessary packages, the benchmark test could be executed using
+the __Makefile__ placed in the Code directory. It will create a directory called
+"data" containing all the results and corresponding tasksets. The class
+__FileSystemManager__ is then used to access the results.
