+Adding run-time and test-time dependencies
+------------------------------------------
+
+To run tests in the `%check` section, the package's runtime dependencies
+often need to also be included as build requirements.
+If the project's build system supports the [`prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel`
+hook](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/#prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel),
+this can be done using the `-r` flag:
+
+    %generate_buildrequires
+    %pyproject_buildrequires -r
+
+For projects that specify test requirements using an [`extra`
+provide](https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#provides-extra-multiple-use),
+these can be added using the `-x` flag.
+For example, if upstream suggests installing test dependencies with
+`pip install mypackage[testing]`, the test deps would be generated by:
+
+    %generate_buildrequires
+    %pyproject_buildrequires -r -x testing
