+# Xtesting in a nutshell
+
+Xtesting is a simple framework to assemble sparse test cases and to accelerate
+the adoption of continuous integration best practices. By managing all
+the interactions with the components (test scheduler, test results database,
+artifact repository), it allows the developer to work only on the test suites
+without diving into CI/CD.
+
+It asks for a few low constraints
+[quickly achievable](https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/opnfvs-6th-release-brings-testing-capabilities-that-orange-is-already-using/2018/05/)
+to verify multiple components in the same CI/CD toolchain. Even more, it brings
+the capability to run third-party test cases in our CI toolchains and then to
+also rate network functions by the coverage.
+
+Please see
+[the Katacoda scenarios](https://www.katacoda.com/ollivier/courses/xtestingci)
+to try Xtesting. You will love them!
