+## Test Types
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Unit tests use mocking and don't require external dependencies like Docker. These are marked with `@pytest.mark.unit` and make up the majority of the test suite.
+
+### Integration Tests with Simulated Containers
+
+The `test_websocket_simulated.py` file provides integration-style tests that use simulated Docker containers. These tests:
+- Don't require Docker to be installed
+- Test the actual logic flow without external dependencies
+- Simulate Docker socket behavior including the `_sock` attribute wrapper
+- Are marked as unit tests since they don't require Docker
+
+Example simulated container usage:
+```python
+def test_with_simulated_container(simulated_container):
+    exec_instance = simulated_container.exec_run(['/bin/sh'], socket=True)
+    sock = exec_instance.output
+
+    # Test socket operations
+    sock._sock.sendall(b'echo test\n')
+    data = sock.recv(4096)
+```
+
+### Real Integration Tests
+
+The `test_websocket_integration.py` file contains tests that require a real Docker environment. These tests:
+- Are marked with `@pytest.mark.integration`
+- Automatically skip if Docker is not available
+- Test with real Docker containers (alpine:latest)
+- Verify actual Docker socket behavior
