+# Network Testing
+
+The network test suite is designed to run locally against a specified network for validation purposes.
+
+You can find the test suite at: `packages/fuel-gauge/src/network.test.ts`.
+
+### Setup Instructions
+
+Before running the tests, you need to configure the `.env` file:
+
+1. Copy the `.env.example` file:
+
+```sh
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+2. Set the values for the following environment variables in the `.env` file:
+
+```env
+NETWORK_TEST_URL=https://testnet.fuel.network/v1/graphql
+NETWORK_TEST_PVT_KEY=0x...
+```
+
+- `NETWORK_TEST_URL`: The URL of which network the test should run (e.g., Fuel Testnet endpoint).
+- `NETWORK_TEST_PVT_KEY`: Your private key for the network.
+
+### Running the Test Suite
+
+Once the environment is set up, run the network tests using the following command:
+
+```sh
+pnpm test:network
+```
+
 # FAQ
 
 ### Why is the prefix `fuels` and not `fuel`?
