+## Unit testing incremental models
 
+When configuring your unit test, you can override the output of macros, vars, or environment variables. This enables you to unit test your incremental models in "full refresh" and "incremental" modes. 
 
+When testing an incremental model, the expected output is the __result of the materialization__ (what will be merged/inserted), not the resulting model itself (what the final table will look like after the merge/insert).
+
+For example, say you have an incremental model in your project:
+
+<File name='my_incremental_model.sql'>
+
+```sql
+
+{{
+    config(
+        materialized='incremental'
+    )
+}}
+
+select * from {{ ref('events') }}
+{% if is_incremental() %}
+where event_time > (select max(event_time) from {{ this }})
+{% endif %}
+
+```
+
+</File>
+
+You can define unit tests on `my_incremental_model` to ensure your incremental logic is working as expected:
+
+```yml
+
+unit_tests:
+  - name: my_incremental_model_full_refresh_mode
+    model: my_incremental_model
+    overrides:
+      macros:
+        # unit test this model in "full refresh" mode
+        is_incremental: false 
+    given:
+      - input: ref('events')
+        rows:
+          - {event_id: 1, event_time: 2020-01-01}
+    expect:
+      rows:
+        - {event_id: 1, event_time: 2020-01-01}
+
+  - name: my_incremental_model_incremental_mode
+    model: my_incremental_model
+    overrides:
+      macros:
+        # unit test this model in "incremental" mode
+        is_incremental: true 
+    given:
+      - input: ref('events')
+        rows:
+          - {event_id: 1, event_time: 2020-01-01}
+          - {event_id: 2, event_time: 2020-01-02}
+          - {event_id: 3, event_time: 2020-01-03}
+      - input: this 
+        # contents of current my_incremental_model
+        rows:
+          - {event_id: 1, event_time: 2020-01-01}
+    expect:
+      # what will be inserted/merged into my_incremental_model
+      rows:
+        - {event_id: 2, event_time: 2020-01-02}
+        - {event_id: 3, event_time: 2020-01-03}
+
+```
+
+There is currently no way to unit test whether the dbt framework inserted/merged the records into your existing model correctly, but [we're investigating support for this in the future](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/8664).
