+### Client UI Tests
+
+Some Client UI tests use key sequences which may be reserved by the operating
+system. Usually that causes the test failure. So it is highly recommended to disable
+system key shortcuts prior testing. The steps to access and disable system key shortcuts
+for various platforms are provided below.
+
+#### MacOS
+Choose Apple menu; System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Shortcuts;
+select or deselect desired shortcut.
+
+For example, test/jdk/javax/swing/TooltipManager/JMenuItemToolTipKeyBindingsTest/JMenuItemToolTipKeyBindingsTest.java fails
+on MacOS because it uses `CTRL + F1` key sequence to show or hide tooltip message
+but the key combination is reserved by the operating system. To run the test correctly
+the default global key shortcut should be disabled using the steps described above, and then deselect
+"Turn keyboard access on or off" option which is responsible for `CTRL + F1` combination.
+
+#### Linux
+Open the Activities overview and start typing Settings; Choose Settings, click Devices,
+then click Keyboard; set or override desired shortcut.
+
+#### Windows
+Type `gpedit` in the Search and then click Edit group policy; navigate to
+User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> File Explorer;
+in the right-side pane look for "Turn off Windows key hotkeys" and double click on it;
+enable or disable hotkeys.
+
+Note: restart is required to make the settings take effect.
