+# VM Testbase landing
+
+This directory serves as a _temporary_ landing place for tests converted from so-called VM testbase.
+Most of these tests have been written a long time ago, don't meet modern coding
+standards, guidelines and are in need of reworking.
+Eventually, all the tests located here should be reworked and moved accordingly to
+regular JTReg test suite directory layout convention, i.e. following the same
+layout as product code as close as possible.
+
+New tests must **not** be added into this directory.
