@@ -154,9 +154,10 @@ When making a PR to this repository, ensure the following points are addressed:
 - **Project builds**: Ensure the project builds successfully with `npm run build`
 - **Tests included**: Add tests for your change. This includes negative tests (i.e. inputs that need to fail) as well as baseline tests (i.e. how should the directory structure look like?).
 - **Test suite passes**: Run the test suite with `npm test` and ensure all tests pass
+- **Template creation test**: Ensure the template creation test (`.github/test_template_creation.sh`) passes as part of the main test suite
 - **Baseline changes**: If there are baseline changes, review them and make a separate commit for them with the comment "accept baselines" if they are desired changes
 - **Template creation updates**: If you added a required option, also add it to the template creation (`.github/create_templates.ts`)
-- **Migration documentation**: Add a detailed migration description to `docs/updates` explaining what the user needs to do when manually updating an existing project
-- **CHANGELOG.md updated**: Add your changes to CHANGELOG.md (referencing the migration description and this PR or the issue you fixed)
+- **Migration documentation** (**REQUIRED**): Always add a detailed migration description to `docs/updates` with filename format `YYYYMMDD_description.md` explaining what the user needs to do when manually updating an existing project. Even for minor changes, provide guidance on what users should check or update.
+- **CHANGELOG.md updated** (**REQUIRED**): Always add your changes to CHANGELOG.md under the `__WORK IN PROGRESS__` section, referencing the migration description file and this PR or the issue you fixed
 
 These requirements help maintain code quality, ensure proper testing coverage, and provide clear documentation for users upgrading existing projects.

+# Upgrade to @iobroker/testing 5.1.1 and remove redundant dependencies
+
+@iobroker/testing version 5.1.1 now includes many test dependencies that were previously required to be manually added to adapter projects. This update allows you to clean up your `package.json` file by removing redundant dependencies.
+
+## Update @iobroker/testing version
+
+Update the @iobroker/testing version in your `package.json` devDependencies:
+
+```diff
+  "devDependencies": {
+-   "@iobroker/testing": "^4.1.3",
++   "@iobroker/testing": "^5.1.1",
+    // ... other dependencies
+  },
+```
+
+## Remove redundant test dependencies
+
+The following dependencies can now be removed from your `package.json` devDependencies since they are included in `@iobroker/testing` 5.1.1:
+
+### Runtime test dependencies:
+```diff
+  "devDependencies": {
+-   "chai": "^4.5.0",
+-   "chai-as-promised": "^7.1.2",
+-   "mocha": "^11.7.1",
+-   "sinon": "^19.0.5",
+-   "sinon-chai": "^3.7.0",
+-   "proxyquire": "^2.1.3",
+    // ... other dependencies
+  },
+```
+
+### Type definitions:
+```diff
+  "devDependencies": {
+-   "@types/chai": "^4.3.20",
+-   "@types/chai-as-promised": "^8.0.2",
+-   "@types/mocha": "^10.0.10",
+-   "@types/sinon": "^17.0.4",
+-   "@types/sinon-chai": "^3.2.12",
+-   "@types/proxyquire": "^1.3.31",
+    // ... other dependencies
+  },
+```
+
+## After the changes
+
+After making these changes:
+
+1. Delete your `node_modules` folder and `package-lock.json` file
+2. Run `npm install` to reinstall dependencies with the updated versions
+3. Run `npm test` to verify everything still works correctly
+
+All testing functionality remains unchanged as the dependencies are now provided by `@iobroker/testing` 5.1.1.
