 Writing Your First Test
 =======================
-In your kernel repository, let's add some code that we can test.
+In this tutorial, you will learn how to write and test a simple driver
+which performs addition of two integers.
 
-1. Create a file ``drivers/misc/example.h``, which includes:
+1. First, write the driver implementation. Follow the below steps.
+
+   a. Create a new header file ``drivers/misc/example.h`` and add the
+      prototype for ``misc_example_add()``:
 
 .. code-block:: c
 
 	int misc_example_add(int left, int right);
 
-2. Create a file ``drivers/misc/example.c``, which includes:

-4. Add the following lines to ``drivers/misc/Makefile``:

+      so that the driver can be built:

 	obj-$(CONFIG_MISC_EXAMPLE) += example.o
