+To get the complete list of tests, run the command:
+@example
+make fate-list
+@end example
+
+You can specify a subset of tests to run by specifying the
+corresponding elements from the list with the @code{fate-} prefix,
+e.g. as in:
+@example
+make fate-ffprobe_compact fate-ffprobe_xml
+@end example
+
+This makes it easier to run a few tests in case of failure without
+running the complete test suite.

 To use a custom wrapper to run the test, pass @option{--target-exec} to
 @command{configure} or set the @var{TARGET_EXEC} Make variable.
