+Under the hood the check-ttmlir cmake target is running `llvm-lit`. With it you
+can:
+
+```bash
+# Query which tests are available
+llvm-lit -sv ./build/test --show-tests
+
+# Run an individual test:
+llvm-lit -sv ./build/test/ttmlir/Dialect/TTIR/test_allocate.mlir
+
+# Run a sub-suite:
+llvm-lit -sv ./build/test/ttmlir/Dialect/TTIR
+```
+
+> See the full [llvm-lit documentation](https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lit.html) for more information.
