+Each test outputs results to the specified log file and takes approximately 20-30 hours to run. However, this can be improved
 by passing the `fast` feature. Using this feature, our tests are run for 100
 users instead of 10000 users and will produce results comparable to our
 reported results (with larger error margins). To run individual tests with this
 flag run:
 
 ```
-  cargo test --release --features=fast -- --nocapture TESTNAME
+  cargo test --release --features=fast -- --nocapture TESTNAME > LOGFILE
  ```
 
- To run all tests in fast mode and output the results to the Parsing-results
- directory, run:
+We have also included the scripts we used to parse the output from each of the Lox tests in the `Parsing-results` directory. For convenience, copy all of the output log files to the `Parsing-results` directory and run `./parse_data.sh`. This is a python script that uses Python 3.8+ and depends on `numpy`, `matplotlib`, and `pandas` which can be installed with `pip3`.
+
+To run all tests in fast mode, output the results to the `Parsing-results` directory, and generate the table (`performance_stats.csv`, our Table 4) and graphs (`StandardCheck.pdf` and `core-users.pdf`, our Figures 1 and 2) used in our paper, run:
 
 ```
 ./run_tests_fast
 ```
 
+This should take approximately 9 hours to complete.

 Note that: our implementation is coded such that the reachability certificate expires at 00:00 UTC. A workaround has been included in each test to pause if it is too close to this time so the request won't fail. In reality, if the bucket is still reachable, a user could simply request a new reachability token if their request fails for this reason (a new certificate should be available prior to the outdated certificate expiring).
