+### Building a Docker image to test
+
+Once you have made changes to the CE/EE repositories, you may want to build a
+Docker image to test locally instead of waiting for the `gitlab-ce-qa` or
+`gitlab-ee-qa` nightly builds. To do that, you can run from this directory:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t gitlab/gitlab-ce-qa:nightly .
+```
