+Functional testing Installation
+===============================
+
+Pull the Functest Docker image from the Docker hub::
+
+  $ docker pull opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0
+
+
+Check that the image is available::
+
+ $ docker images
+
+Run the docker container giving the environment variables::
+
+ - INSTALLER_TYPE. Possible values are "apex", "compass", "fuel" or "joid".
+ - INSTALLER_IP. each installer has its installation strategy.
+
+Functest may need to know the IP of the installer to retrieve the credentials
+(e.g. usually "10.20.0.2" for fuel, not neede for joid...).
+
+The minimum command to create the Functest docker file can be described as
+follows::
+
+  docker run -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
+
+Optionally, it is possible to precise the container name through the option
+--name::
+
+  docker run --name "CONTAINER_NAME" -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
+
+It is also possible to to indicate the path of the OpenStack creds using -v::
+
+  docker run  -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" -v <path_to_your_local_creds_file>:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
+
+The local file will be mounted in the container under
+/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
+
+After the run command the prompt appears which means that we are inside the
+container and ready to run Functest.
+
+Inside the container, the following directory structure should be in place::
+
+  `-- home
+      `-- opnfv

+
+Basically the container includes:

+    in /home/opngb/functest/conf), the data (images neede for test for offline
+    testing), results (some temporary artifacts may be stored here)
+  * Repositories: the functest repository will be used to prepare the
+    environment, run the tests. Other repositories are used for the installation
+    of the tooling (e.g. rally) and/or the retrieval of feature projects
+    scenarios (e.g. bgpvpn)

-You may launch only one single test by using -t <the test you want to launch>

-run_test.sh in order to preserve all the existing resources.
-However, be aware that Tempest and Rally create of lot of resources (users,

-cleaning function has been set to keep the system as clean as possible after a

-You may also add you own test by adding a section into the function run_test()

-Automated testing
-=================
-
-As mentioned in `[1]`, the prepare-env.sh and run_test.sh can be executed within
-the container from jenkins.
-2 jobs have been created, one to run all the test and one that allows testing
-test suite by test suite.
-You thus just have to launch the acurate jenkins job on the target lab, all the
-tests shall be automatically run.
-
-When the tests are automatically started from CI, a basic algorithm has been
-created in order to detect whether the test is runnable or not on the given
-scenario.
-In fact, one of the most challenging task in Brahmaputra consists in dealing
-with lots of scenario and installers.
-Functest test suites cannot be systematically run (e.g. run the ODL suite on an
-ONOS scenario).
-
-CI provides several information:
-
- * The installer (apex|compass|fuel|joid)
- * The scenario [controller]-[feature]-[mode] with
-
-   * controller = (odl|onos|ocl|nosdn)
-   * feature = (ovs(dpdk)|kvm)
-   * mode = (ha|noha)
-
-Constraints per test case are defined in the Functest configuration file
-/home/opnfv/functest/config/config_functest.yaml::
-
- test-dependencies:
-    functest:
-        vims:
-            scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
-        vping:
-        vping_userdata:
-            scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
-        tempest:
-        rally:
-        odl:
-            scenario: 'odl'
-        onos:
-            scenario: 'onos'
-        ....
-
-At the end of the Functest environment creation (prepare_env.sh see `[1]`_), a
-file (/home/opnfv/functest/conf/testcase-list.txt) is created with the list of
-all the runnable tests.
-We consider the static constraints as regex and compare them with the scenario.
-For instance, odl can be run only on scenario including odl in its name.
-
-The order of execution is also described in the Functest configuration file::
-
- test_exec_priority:
-
-    1: vping
-    2: vping_userdata
-    3: tempest
-    4: odl
-    5: onos
-    6: ovno
-    #7: doctor
-    8: promise
-    9: odl-vpnservice
-    10: bgpvpn
-    #11: openstack-neutron-bgpvpn-api-extension-tests
-    12: vims
-    13: rally
-
-The tests are executed as follow:
-
- * Basic scenario (vPing, vPing_userdata, Tempest)
- * Controller suites: ODL or ONOS or OpenContrail
- * Feature projects
- * vIMS
- * Rally (benchmark scenario)
-
-At the end of an automated execution, everything is cleaned.
-We keep only the users/networks that have been statically declared in '[9]'_

+Executing the functest suites
+=============================
+
+Manual testing
+--------------
+
+Once the Functest docker container is running and Functest environment ready
+(through /home/opnfv/repos/functest/docker/prepare_env.sh script), the system is
+ready to run the tests.
+
+The script *run_tests.sh* is located in $repos_dir/functest/docker and it has
+several options::
+
+    ./run_tests.sh -h
+    Script to trigger the tests automatically.
+
+    usage:
+        bash run_tests.sh [--offline] [-h|--help] [-t <test_name>]
+
+    where:
+        -h|--help         show this help text
+        -r|--report       push results to database (false by default)
+        -n|--no-clean     do not clean up OpenStack resources after test run
+        -t|--test         run specific set of tests
+          <test_name>     one or more of the following: vping,vping_userdata,odl,rally,tempest,vims,onos,promise. Separated by comma.
