Abstract
Latest tests of double parton scattering, underlying event tunes, minimum bias, and diffraction made by comparing the state-of-the-art theoretical predictions interfaced with up-to-date parton shower codes to the CMS Run I and Run II data are presented. Studies to derive and to test a new CMS Pythia 8 event tune obtained through jet kinematics in top quark pair events and global event variables are described.
