 ## Test Format
 
 Tests are expressed as standard Rego rules with a convention that the rule
-name is prefixed with `test_`.
+name is prefixed with `test_`. It is best practice for tests to be placed in a package suffixed with `_test`. 
 
 ```live:example_format:module:read_only
 package mypackage_test
