 ### Opting into a Test Suite
 
-Tags determine which test suites are executed on your issuers and verifiers.
+Note: Tags are required to determine which test suites are executed on your
+issuers and verifiers. Only the first issuer/verifier with the tag found from
+your implementations list will be selected to run against the test suites,
+while subsequent issuers and verifiers that contain the same tag won't be
+tested. This is true for most of the test suites except ECDSA test suite since
+the ECDSA test suite will select all the issuers and verifiers with the tag
+from your implementations list and run them against the tests, in other words,
+for ECDSA test suite an implementer can have multiple issuer and verifiers with
+the same tags depending on the different key types they support. Other test
+suites find and use the first issuer/verifier match containing the tag.
