 Please see the notebook `listing-and-loading-tests.ipynb` for more information and examples and to learn about how the directory relates to the test's ID which is used across the ValidMind Platform.
 
-To create a new test, you can use the create_new_test.py script to generate a metric or threshold test. This script will create a new test file in the appropriate directory and will also create a new test class in that file. It is registered as a console script in `pyproject.toml` and it can be used as follows:
-
-```bash
-generate-test --help  # see the usage instructions
-generate-test  # interactively create a new test (will prompt for the test type and ID)
-generate-test --test_type metric --test_id validmind.model_validation.sklearn.MyNewMetric  # create a new metric test for sklearn models
-generate-test --test_type threshold_test --test_id validmind.data_validation.MyNewDataTest  # create a new threshold test for data validation
-```
+New tests should currently be created manually by adding a new file in the appropriate `validmind/tests/` subdirectory and implementing the matching test class or function in that file. Use the surrounding tests in the target directory as templates for naming, structure, and registration patterns.
