Renaming the description text to include in composite docs.
testusage.rst will be automatically pulled into the composite docs. I have updated the heading and included a link to the functest userguide. Change-Id: I9ff980f8c33898cc43570b4d544a1dc2d5219222

+Overview of the functest suites
===============================
-Functest capabilities and usage
-===============================
-.. include:: ./description.rst
-.. include:: ./runfunctest.rst
+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 in 3 main domains::
+
+ +----------------+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | Domain | Test suite | Comments |
+ +================+================+===========================================+
+ | | vPing | NFV "Hello World" using SSH connection |
+ | | | and floatting IP |
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | VIM | vPing_userdata | Ping using userdata and cloud-init |
+ | | | mechanism |
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ |(Virtualised | Tempest | OpenStack reference test suite `[2]`_ |
+ | Infrastructure +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | Manager) | Rally bench | OpenStack testing tool benchmarking |
+ | | | OpenStack modules `[3]`_ |
+ +----------------+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | | OpenDaylight | Opendaylight Test suite |
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | Controllers | ONOS | Test suite of ONOS L2 and L3 functions |
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | | OpenContrail | |
+ +----------------+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | Features | vIMS | Example of a real VNF deployment to show |
+ | | | the NFV capabilities of the platform. |
+ | | | The IP Multimedia Subsytem is a typical |
+ | | | Telco test case, referenced by ETSI. |
+ | | | It provides a fully functional VoIP System|
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | | Promise | Resource reservation and management |
+ | | | project to identify NFV related |
+ | | | requirements and realize resource |
+ | | | reservation for future usage by capacity |
+ | | | management of resource pools regarding |
+ | | | compute, network and storage. |
+ | +----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+ | | SDNVPN | |
+ +----------------+----------------+-------------------------------------------+
+
+Functest includes different test suites with several test cases within. Some
+of the tests 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 the tests that fit in OPNFV.
+
+The Tempest suite has been customized but no new test cases have been created.
+Some OPNFV feature projects (e.g. SDNVPN) have written some Tempest tests cases
+and pushed upstream to be used by Functest.
+
+The results produced by the tests run from CI are pushed and collected in a NoSQL
+database. The goal is to populate the database with results from different sources
+and scenarios and to show them on a Dashboard.
+
+There is no real notion of Test domain or Test coverage. Basic components
+(VIM, controllers) are tested through their own suites. Feature projects also
+provide their own test suites with different ways of running their tests.
+
+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.
+OPNFV, since the Brahmaputra release, offers lots of potential combinations:
+
+ * 3 controllers (OpenDayligh, ONOS, OpenContrail)
+ * 4 installers (Apex, Compass, Fuel, Joid)
+
+Most of the tests are runnable on any combination, but some others might have
+restrictions imposed by the installers or the available deployed features.
+
+Details on working with the functest suites can be found at
