+## Continuous Integration
+
+The Kata Containers project has a gating process to prevent introducing
+regressions. When your PR is submitted, a Continuous Integration (CI) system
+will run different checks on different platforms upon your changes. Currently
+Kata uses [Jenkins](http://jenkins.katacontainers.io) and
+[Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/kata-containers/) for testing your changes.
+
+Some of the checks are:
+
+- Static analysis checks.
+- Unit tests.
+- Functional tests.
+- Integretation tests.
+
+The travis job will be executed right after the PR is opened, while the Jenkins
+jobs will wait to be triggered. A maintainer must add a `/test` comment
+on the PR to let the CI jobs run.
+
+All CI jobs must pass in order to merge your PR.
