-Testing PyArrow C++
--------------------
-
-Most of the tests for PyArrow are part of the ``pytest``-based test suite mentioned above,
-but a few low-level tests are written directly in C++ for historical reasons.
-Those tests can be run using ``ctest``, but you first will need to build Arrow C++
-with ``-DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=ON``.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Currently, building the PyArrow C++ unit tests does not work with the
-   googletest package from conda-forge. If you are in this situation, please
-   add ``-DGTest_SOURCE=BUNDLED`` to the CMake flags
-   when building Arrow C++.
-
-After Arrow C++ and PyArrow are built, you can navigate to the ``python/build/dist``
-folder and run ``ctest``:
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   $ pushd arrow/python/build/dist
-   $ ctest
-   $ popd
