 To ensure that characterisation testing doesn't make it harder to intentionally change these interfaces, there always must be an easy way to regenerate the expected output, as we do with `_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1`.
 
+### Running functional tests on NixOS
+
+We run the functional tests not just in the build, but also in VM tests.
+This helps us ensure that Nix works correctly on NixOS, and environments that have similar characteristics that are hard to reproduce in a build environment.
+
+The recommended way to run these tests during development is:
+
+```shell
+nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.functional_user.quickBuild
+```
+
+The `quickBuild` attribute configures the test to use a `nix` package that's built without integration tests, so that you can iterate on the tests without performing recompilations due to the changed sources for `installCheck`.
+
+Generally, this build is sufficient, but in nightly or CI we also test the attributes `functional_root` and `functional_trusted`, in which the test suite is run with different levels of authorization.
+
 ## Integration tests
 
 The integration tests are defined in the Nix flake under the `hydraJobs.tests` attribute.
 These tests include everything that needs to interact with external services or run Nix in a non-trivial distributed setup.
 Because these tests are expensive and require more than what the standard github-actions setup provides, they only run on the master branch (on <https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master>).
 
-You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`
+You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`.
+
+If you are testing a build of `nix` that you haven't compiled yet, you may iterate faster by appending the `quickBuild` attribute: `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}.quickBuild`.
