+Introduction

+This document describes how to install and configure Functest in OPNFV.

+High level architecture

+ SUT = System Under Test
+
+Note connectivity to management network is not needed for most of the
+testcases. But it may be needed for some specific snaps tests.
+
+All the libraries and dependencies needed by all of the Functest tools are
+pre-installed into the Docker images. This allows running Functest on any
+platform.
+
+The automated mechanisms inside the Functest Docker containers will:
+
+ * Prepare the environment according to the System Under Test (SUT)
+ * Perform the appropriate functional tests
+ * Push the test results into the OPNFV test result database (optional)
+
+The OpenStack credentials file must be provided to the container.
+
+These Docker images can be integrated into CI or deployed independently.
+
+Please note that the Functest Docker images have been designed for OPNFV,
+however, it would be possible to adapt them to any OpenStack based VIM +
+controller environment, since most of the test cases are integrated from
+upstream communities.
+
+The functional test cases are described in the Functest User `[2]`_
+
+.. _`[2]`: http://docs.opnfv.org/en/latest/submodules/functest/docs/testing/user/userguide/index.html
