+#### Using local engine builds in integration tests
+
+The integration tests can be configured to use a specific local engine
+variant by setting the `FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE` environment variable to the
+name of the local engine (e.g. "android_debug_unopt"). If the local engine build
+requires a source path, this can be provided by setting the `FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE_SRC_PATH`
+environment variable. This second variable is not necessary if the `flutter` and
+`engine` checkouts are in adjacent directories.
+
+```shell
+export FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE=android_debug_unopt
+../../bin/dart test test/integration.shard/some_test_case
+```
+
 ### Running the tests
 
 To run the tests in the `test/` directory, first ensure that there are no
 connected devices. Then, in this directory run:
 ```shell
-$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test
+$ ../../bin/dart pub run test
 ```
 
 The tests in `test/integration.shard` are slower to run than the tests in
 `test/general.shard`. To run only the tests in `test/general.shard`, in this
 directory run:
 ```shell
-$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test test/general.shard
+$ ../../bin/dart pub run test test/general.shard
 ```
 
 To run the tests in a specific file, run:
 ```shell
-$ ../../bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin/pub run test test/general.shard/utils_test.dart
+$ ../../bin/dart pub run test test/general.shard/utils_test.dart
 ```
