+## Spring Data Couchbase Tutorial Project
+
+### Relevant Articles:
+- [Spring Data Couchbase](http://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-couchbase)
+
+### Overview
+This Maven project contains the Java code for Spring Data Couchbase
+entities, repositories, and template-based services
+as described in the tutorial, as well as a unit test
+for each service implementation.
+
+### Working with the Code
+The project was developed and tested using Java 7 nad 8 in the Eclipse-based
+Spring Source Toolkit (STS) and therefore should run fine in any
+recent version of Eclipse or another IDE of your choice
+that supports Java 7 or later.
+
+### Building the Project
+You can also build the project using Maven outside of any IDE:
+```
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+### Running the tests
+There are three test classes in src/test/java in the package
+org.baeldung.spring.data.couchbase.service:
+- PersonServiceTest (abstract)
+- PersonRepositoryTest (concrete)
+- PersonTemplateServiceTest (concrete)
+
+The latter two may be run as JUnit tests from your IDE
+or using the Maven command line:
+```
+mvn test
+```
