+# Running A Single MiniTest Example
+
+Consider the following
+[MiniTest](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/minitest/rdoc/MiniTest.html)
+file:
+
+```ruby
+# test_stuff.rb
+require 'minitest/autorun'
+
+class TestStuff < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
+  def test_first_thing
+    assert_equal 4, (2 * 2)
+  end
+
+  def test_second_thing
+    assert_equal 9, (3 * 3)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+If we want to run all the tests in this file, we can do so with:
+
+```bash
+$ ruby test_stuff.rb
+```
+
+But what if we want to run a specific test? We can target a single MiniTest
+example with the `--name` flag and the name of that example. We can do
+something like the following:
+
+```bash
+$ ruby test_stuff.rb --name test_second_thing
+```
