 > 👋 We run our tests for Puppeteer on Travis CI - see our [`.travis.yml`](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/master/.travis.yml) for reference.
 
 Tips-n-tricks:
-- The `libnss3` package must be installed in order to run Chromium on Ubuntu Trusty
-- [user namespace cloning](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/user_namespaces.7.html) should be enabled to support
-  proper sandboxing
-- [xvfb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb) should be launched in order to run Chromium in non-headless mode (e.g. to test Chrome Extensions)
+- [xvfb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb) service should be launched in order to run Chromium in non-headless mode
+- Runs on Xenial Linux on Travis by default
+- Runs `npm install` by default
+- `node_modules` is cached by default
