+# Launch testing examples
+
+This package contains simple use cases for the ``launch`` and ``launch_testing`` packages.
+These are designed to help beginners get started with these packages and help them understand the concepts.
+
+## Examples
+
+### `check_node_launch_test.py`
+
+Usage:
+
+```sh
+launch_test launch_testing_examples/check_node_launch_test.py
+```
+
+There might be situations where nodes, once launched, take some time to actually start and we need to wait for the node to start to perform some action.
+We can simulate this using ``launch.actions.TimerAction``. This example shows one way to detect when a node has been launched.
+We delay the launch by 5 seconds, and wait for the node to start with a timeout of 8 seconds.
+
+### `check_msgs_launch_test.py`
+
+Usage:
+
+```sh
+launch_test launch_testing_examples/check_msgs_launch_test.py
+```
+
+Consider a problem statement where you need to launch a node and check if messages are published on a particular topic.
+This example demonstrates how to do that, using a talker node.
+It uses the ``Event`` object to end the test as soon as the first message is received on the chatter topic, with a timeout of 5 seconds.
+
+### `set_param_launch_test.py`
+
+Usage:
+
+```sh
+launch_test launch_testing_examples/set_param_launch_test.py
+```
+
+This example demonstrates how to launch a node, set a parameter in it and check if that was successful.
+
+### `hello_world_launch_test.py`
+
+Usage:
+
+```sh
+launch_test launch_testing_examples/hello_world_launch_test.py
+```
+
+This test is a simple example on how to use the ``launch_testing``. 
+
+It launches a process and asserts that it prints "hello_world" to ``stdout`` using ``proc_output.assertWaitFor()``.
+Finally, it checks if the process exits normally (zero exit code).
+
+The ``@launch_testing.markers.keep_alive`` decorator ensures that the launch process stays alive long enough for the tests to run.
