 The `TESTARGS` variable is regexp-like, so multiple tests can be run in parallel by specifying a common substring of those tests (for example, `TestAccContainerNodePool` to run all node pool tests).
 
+To run all tests, you can simply omit the `TESTARGS` argument - but please keep in mind that that is quite a few tests and will take quite a long time and create some fairly expensive resources.  It usually is not advisable to run all tests.

 ### Writing Tests
 
 Tests should confirm that a resource can be created, and that the resulting Terraform state has the correct values, as well as the created GCP resource.
