-Executing the functest suites (Ubuntu)
-======================================
-
-Manual testing
---------------
-
-This section assumes the following:
- * The Functest Docker container is running
- * The docker prompt is shown
- * The Functest environment is ready (Functest CLI command 'functest env prepare'
-   has been executed)
-
-If any of the above steps are missing please refer to the Functest Config Guide
-as they are a prerequisite and all the commands explained in this section **must** be
-performed **inside the container**.
-
-The Functest CLI offers two commands (functest tier ...) and (functest testcase ... )
-for the execution of Test Tiers or Test Cases::
-
-  root@22e436918db0:~/repos/functest/ci# functest tier --help
-  Usage: functest tier [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
-
-  Options:
-    -h, --help  Show this message and exit.
-
-  Commands:
-    get-tests  Prints the tests in a tier.
-    list       Lists the available tiers.
-    run        Executes all the tests within a tier.
-    show       Shows information about a tier.
-  root@22e436918db0:~/repos/functest/ci# functest testcase --help
-
-  Usage: functest testcase [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
-
-  Options:
-    -h, --help  Show this message and exit.
-
-  Commands:
-    list  Lists the available testcases.
-    run   Executes a test case.
-    show  Shows information about a test case.
-
-More details on the existing Tiers and Test Cases can be seen with the 'list'
-command::
-
-  root@22e436918db0:~/repos/functest/ci# functest tier list
-      - 0. healthcheck:
-             ['connection_check', 'api_check', 'snaps_health_check',]
-      - 1. smoke:
-             ['vping_ssh', 'vping_userdata', 'tempest_smoke_serial', 'odl', 'rally_sanity', 'refstack_defcore', 'snaps_smoke']
-      - 2. features:

-
-To list the test cases which are part of a specific Test Tier, the 'get-tests'
-command is used with 'functest tier'::
-
-  root@22e436918db0:~/repos/functest/ci# functest tier get-tests healthcheck
-  Test cases in tier 'healthcheck':
-   ['connection_check', 'api_check', 'snaps_health_check']
-
-
-Please note that for some scenarios some test cases might not be launched.
-For example, the last example displayed only the 'odl' testcase for the given
-environment. In this particular system the deployment does not support the 'ocl' SDN
-Controller Test Case; for example.
-
-**Important** If you use the command 'functest tier run <tier_name>', then the
-Functest CLI utility will call **all valid Test Cases**, which belong to the
-specified Test Tier, as relevant to scenarios deployed to the SUT environment.
-Thus, the Functest CLI utility calculates automatically which tests can be
-executed and which cannot, given the environment variable **DEPLOY_SCENARIO**,
-which is passed in to the Functest docker container.
-
-Currently, the Functest CLI command 'functest testcase run <testcase_name>', supports
-two possibilities::
-
- *  Run a single Test Case, specified by a valid choice of <testcase_name>
- *  Run ALL test Test Cases (for all Tiers) by specifying <testcase_name> = 'all'
-
-Functest includes a cleaning mechanism in order to remove all the OpenStack
-resources except those present before running any test. The script
-*$REPOS_DIR/functest/functest/utils/openstack_snapshot.py* is called once when setting up
-the Functest environment (i.e. CLI command 'functest env prepare') to snapshot
-all the OpenStack resources (images, networks, volumes, security groups, tenants,
-users) so that an eventual cleanup does not remove any of these defaults.
-
-The script **openstack_clean.py** which is located in
-*$REPOS_DIR/functest/functest/utils/* is in charge of cleaning the OpenStack resources
-that are not specified in the defaults file generated previously which is stored in
-*/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack_snapshot.yaml* in the Functest docker container.
-
-It is important to mention that if there are new OpenStack resources created
-manually after the snapshot done before running the tests, they will be removed,
-unless you use the special method of invoking the test case with specific
-suppression of clean up. (See the `Troubleshooting`_ section).
-
-The reason to include this cleanup meachanism in Functest is because some
-test suites create a lot of resources (users, tenants, networks, volumes etc.)
-that are not always properly cleaned, so this function has been set to keep the
-system as clean as it was before a full Functest execution.
-
-Although the Functest CLI provides an easy way to run any test, it is possible to
-do a direct call to the desired test script. For example:
-
-    python $REPOS_DIR/functest/functest/opnfv_tests/openstack/vping/vping_ssh.py
-
-
-Automated testing
------------------
-
-As mentioned previously, the Functest Docker container preparation as well as
-invocation of Test Cases can be called within the container from the Jenkins CI
-system. There are 3 jobs that automate the whole process. The first job runs all
-the tests referenced in the daily loop (i.e. that must been run daily), the second
-job runs the tests referenced in the weekly loop (usually long duration tests run
-once a week maximum) and the third job allows testing test suite by test suite specifying
-the test suite name. The user may also use either of these Jenkins jobs to execute
-the desired test suites.
-
-One of the most challenging task in the Danube release consists
-in dealing with lots of scenarios and installers. Thus, when the tests are
-automatically started from CI, a basic algorithm has been created in order to
-detect whether a given test is runnable or not on the given scenario.
-Some Functest test suites cannot be systematically run (e.g. ODL suite can not
-be run on an ONOS scenario). The daily/weekly notion has been introduces in
-Colorado in order to save CI time and avoid running systematically
-long duration tests. It was not used in Colorado due to CI resource shortage.
-The mechanism remains however as part of the CI evolution.
-
-CI provides some useful information passed to the container as environment
-variables:
-
- * Installer (apex|compass|fuel|joid), stored in INSTALLER_TYPE
- * Installer IP of the engine or VM running the actual deployment, stored in INSTALLER_IP
- * The scenario [controller]-[feature]-[mode], stored in DEPLOY_SCENARIO with
-
-   * controller = (odl|ocl|nosdn)
-   * feature = (ovs(dpdk)|kvm|sfc|bgpvpn|ovs_dpdk_bar)
-   * mode = (ha|noha)
-
-The constraints per test case are defined in the Functest configuration file
-*/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/functest/ci/testcases.yaml*::
-
- tiers:
-   -
-        name: smoke
-        order: 1
-        ci_loop: '(daily)|(weekly)'
-        description : >-
-            Set of basic Functional tests to validate the OpenStack deployment.
-        testcases:
-            -
-                name: vping_ssh
-                criteria: 'status == "PASS"'
-                blocking: true
-                description: >-
-                    This test case verifies: 1) SSH to an instance using floating
-                    IPs over the public network. 2) Connectivity between 2 instances
-                    over a private network.
-                dependencies:
-                    installer: ''
-                    scenario: '^((?!bgpvpn|odl_l3).)*$'
-                run:
-                    module: 'functest.opnfv_tests.openstack.vping.vping_ssh'
-                    class: 'VPingSSH'
-        ....
-
-We may distinguish 2 levels in the test case description:
-  * Tier level
-  * Test case level
-
-At the tier level, we define the following parameters:
-
- * ci_loop: indicate if in automated mode, the test case must be run in dail and/or weekly jobs
- * description: a high level view of the test case
-
-For a given test case we defined:
-  * the name of the test case
-  * the criteria (experimental): a criteria used to declare the test case as PASS or FAIL
-  * blocking: if set to true, if the test is failed, the execution of the following tests is canceled
-  * the description of the test case
-  * the dependencies: a combination of 2 regex on the scenario and the installer name
-  * run: In Danube we introduced the notion of abstract class in order to harmonize the way to run internal, feature or vnf tests
-
-For further details on abstraction classes, see developper guide.
-
-Additional parameters have been added in the desription in the Database.

-The additional fields related to a test case are:
-  * trust: we introduced this notion to put in place a mechanism of scenario promotion.
-  * Version: it indicates since which version you can run this test
-  * domains: the main domain covered by the test suite
-  * tags: a list of tags related to the test suite
-
-The order of execution is the one defined in the file if all test cases are selected.
-
-In CI daily job the tests are executed in the following order:
-
-  1) healthcheck (blocking)
-  2) smoke: both vPings are blocking
-  3) Feature project tests cases
-
-In CI weekly job we add 2 tiers:
-
-  4) VNFs (vIMS)
-  5) Components (Rally and Tempest long duration suites)

-As explained before, at the end of an automated execution, the OpenStack resources
-might be eventually removed.
-Please note that a system snapshot is taken before any test case execution.

+Manual run
+==========
+If you want to run the test step by step, you may add docker option then run the
+different commands within the docker.
+
+Considering the healthcheck example, running functest manaully means::
+
+  sudo docker run -ti --env-file env \
+    -v $(pwd)/openstack.creds:/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds  \
+    -v $(pwd)/images:/home/opnfv/functest/images  \

+The docker prompt shall be returned. Then within the docker run the following
+commands::
+
+  $ source /home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
+
+Prepare environment
+-------------------
+Prior to commencing the Functest environment preparation, we can check
+the initial status of the environment. Issue the **functest env status**
+command at the prompt::
+
+  # functest env status
+  # Functest environment is not installed.
+
+To prepare the Functest docker container for test case execution, type::
+
+  # functest env prepare
+  # ...
+  # Functest environment ready to run tests.
+
+you may also type prepare_env instead of functest env prepare.
+
+To list some basic information about an already prepared Functest
+docker container environment, issue the **functest env show** at the
