+Overview of the Functest suites
+===============================
+
+Functest is the OPNFV project primarily targeting function testing.
+In the Continuous Integration pipeline, it is launched after an OPNFV fresh
+installation to validate and verify the basic functions of the
+infrastructure.
+
+The current list of test suites can be distributed over 5 main domains: VIM
+(Virtualised Infrastructure Manager), Controllers (i.e. SDN Controllers),
+Features, VNF (Virtual Network Functions) and MANO stacks.
+
+Functest test suites are also distributed in the OPNFV testing categories:
+healthcheck, smoke, features, components, performance, VNF, Stress tests.
+
+All the Healthcheck and smoke tests of a given scenario must be succesful to
+validate the scenario for the release.
+
++-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------------------------+

+| | smoke | vPing_SSH | NFV "Hello World" using an SSH |
+| | | | connection to a destination VM |
+| | | | over a created floating IP |
+| | | | address on the SUT Public / |

+| | | | connection a test script is then |
+| | | | copied to the destination |
+| | | | VM and then executed via SSH. |

+As shown in the above table, Functest is structured into different 'domains',
+'tiers' and 'test cases'. Each 'test case' usually represents an actual
+'Test Suite' comprised -in turn- of several test cases internally.
+
+Test cases also have an implicit execution order. For example, if the early
+'healthcheck' Tier testcase fails, or if there are any failures in the 'smoke'
+Tier testcases, there is little point to launch a full testcase execution round.
+
+In Danube, we merged smoke and sdn controller tiers in smoke tier.
+
+An overview of the Functest Structural Concept is depicted graphically below:
+
+.. figure:: ../images/concepts_mapping_final.png
+ :align: center
+ :alt: Functest Concepts Structure
+
+Some of the test cases are developed by Functest team members, whereas others
+are integrated from upstream communities or other OPNFV projects. For example,
+`Tempest <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tempest/overview.html>`_ is the
+OpenStack integration test suite and Functest is in charge of the selection,
+integration and automation of those tests that fit suitably to OPNFV.
+
+The Tempest test suite is the default OpenStack smoke test suite but no new test
+cases have been created in OPNFV Functest.
+
+The results produced by the tests run from CI are pushed and collected into a
+NoSQL database. The goal is to populate the database with results from different
+sources and scenarios and to show them on a `Functest Dashboard`_. A screenshot
+of a live Functest Dashboard is shown below:
+
+** TODO **
+.. figure:: ../images/FunctestDashboardDanube.png
+ :align: center
+ :alt: Functest Dashboard
+
+
+Basic components (VIM, SDN controllers) are tested through their own suites.
+Feature projects also provide their own test suites with different ways of
+running their tests.
+
+The notion of domain has been introduced in the description of the test cases
+stored in the Database.
+This parameters as well as possible tags can be used for the Test case catalog.
+
+vIMS test case was integrated to demonstrate the capability to deploy a
+relatively complex NFV scenario on top of the OPNFV infrastructure.
+
+Functest considers OPNFV as a black box. As of Danube release the OPNFV
+offers a lot of potential combinations:
+
+ * 3 controllers (OpenDaylight, ONOS, OpenContrail)
+ * 4 installers (Apex, Compass, Fuel, Joid)
+
+Most of the tests are runnable by any combination, but some tests might have
+restrictions imposed by the utilized installers or due to the available
+deployed features. The system uses the environment variables (INSTALLER_IP and
+DEPLOY_SCENARIO) to automatically determine the valid test cases, for each given
+environment.
+
+A convenience Functest CLI utility is also available to simplify setting up the
+Functest evironment, management of the OpenStack environment (e.g. resource
+clean-up) and for executing tests.
+The Functest CLI organised the testcase into logical Tiers, which contain in
+turn one or more testcases. The CLI allows execution of a single specified
+testcase, all test cases in a specified Tier, or the special case of execution
+of **ALL** testcases. The Functest CLI is introduced in more detail in the
+section `Executing the functest suites`_ of this document.
