 ### Execute a test suite
 
-> Warning: `clarinet test` will soon be deprecated in favor of a new way of testing smart contracts. The new documentation is under construction. In the meantime, learn more [in the clarinet-sdk Readme](https://github.com/hirosystems/clarinet/blob/01da3550670f321a2f19fd3b0f8df0fb4b769b08/components/clarinet-sdk/README.md).
+> Warning: `clarinet test` has been be deprecated in Clarinet 2 in favor of a new way of testing smart contracts Learn more in the [announcement blog post](https://www.hiro.so/blog/announcing-the-clarinet-sdk-a-javascript-programming-model-for-easy-smart-contract-testing) or [in the clarinet-sdk Readme](https://github.com/hirosystems/clarinet/blob/01da3550670f321a2f19fd3b0f8df0fb4b769b08/components/clarinet-sdk/README.md).
 
-Clarinet provides a testing harness based on Deno that can enable you to create automated unit tests or pseudo-integration tests using Typescript.
-
-```bash
-clarinet test
-```
-
-For more information on how to create unit tests using Typescript, see the [Writing Unit Tests Using Typescript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4YEHUxHWuE&list=PL5Ujm489LoJaAz9kUJm8lYUWdGJ2AnQTb&index=7) YouTube video.
-
-When you use the `clarinet contract new foo` command to create a new contract, Clarinet will automatically create a unit test file for this new contract, `tests/foo_test.ts`. Other files under the `tests/_ directory` following the Deno test naming convention will also be included:
-
-- named test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts},
-- or ending with .test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts},
-- or ending with \_test.{ts, tsx, mts, js, mjs, jsx, cjs, cts}
-
-Within these tests, you can simulate mining a block containing transactions using your contract, and then examine the results of those transactions as well as the events generated by them.
-
-See the [billboard example](examples/billboard/tests/billboard_test.ts) for sample unit tests.
-
-**Note:** If you see an error in VS Code on the imports in the generated test file(s), that says, "An import path cannot end with a '.ts' extension" (an example is shown below), installing the [Deno extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=denoland.vscode-deno) will resolve this error.
-
-![VS Code deno error](docs/images/deno-error.png)
-
-#### Measure and increase code coverage
-
-To help maximize a smart contract's test coverage, Clarinet can produce a `lcov` report, using the following option:
-
-```bash
-clarinet test --coverage
-```
-
-From there, you can use the `lcov` tooling suite to produce HTML reports:
-
-```bash
-brew install lcov
-genhtml --branch-coverage -o coverage coverage.lcov
-open coverage/index.html
-```
-
-![lcov](docs/images/lcov.png)
-
-### Cost optimizations
-
-Clarinet can also be used to optimize costs. When executing a test suite, Clarinet will keep track of all the costs being computed when executing the `contract-call`, and display the most expensive ones in a table:
-
-```bash
-clarinet test --costs
-```
-
-The `--costs` option can be used in conjunction with `--watch` and filters to maximize productivity, as illustrated here:
-
-![costs](docs/images/costs.gif)
