 When updating your operator it's beneficial to add e2e tests for new functionality AND ensure existing functionality is not breaking using e2e tests. 
 To do this, following steps are recommended
 
-1. Run "make e2e-binary-build"  to make sure e2e tests build 
-2. Deploy your new version of operator in a test cluster
-3. Run "go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@latest"
+1. Run "make e2e-binary-build"  to make sure e2e tests build
+
+2. Run "go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/ginkgo@latest"
+
+3. Create a ROSA Cluster which would be used for E2E testing using the below command:
+
+    rosa create cluster --cluster-name=<cluster-name> --profile <default-aws-profile>
+
 4. Get kubeadmin credentials from your cluster using 
 
 ocm get /api/clusters_mgmt/v1/clusters/(cluster-id)/credentials | jq -r .kubeconfig > /(path-to)/kubeconfig
 
-5. Run test suite using 
+5. AWS Credentials
+These are needed for interacting with the cluster. You can find them in the ~/.aws/credentials file.
+Check for the access key and the secret key from the <default-aws-profile> used for creating the cluster.
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your AWS access key ID>
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your AWS secret access key>
+
+6. PAGERDUTY ROUTING KEY
+
+This is required for the PagerDuty alerts that are being sent as part of the testing:
+
+https://redhat.pagerduty.com/service-directory/P4BLYHK/integrations
+
+The value can be picked up from the Integration Key in the above link
+
+export CAD_PAGERDUTY_ROUTING_KEY=<url-integration-key-value>
+
