+# test/e2e/testing-manifests
+
+## Embedded Test Data
+
+In case one needs to use any test fixture inside your tests and those are defined inside this directory, they need to be added to the `//go:embed` directive in `embed.go`.
+
+For example, if one wants to include this Readme as a test fixture (potential bad idea in reality!),
+
+```
+// embed.go
+
+...
+//go:embed some other files README.md
+...
+```
+
+This fixture can be accessed in the e2e tests using `test/e2e/framework/testfiles.Read` like
+`testfiles.Read("test/e2e/testing-manifests/README.md)`.
+
+This is needed since [migrating to //go:embed from go-bindata][1].
