Introduction
============
-Testing is one of the key activities in OPNFV, including component level testing,
-system testing, automated deployment validation and performance characteristics
-or stress testing.
+Testing is one of the key activities in OPNFV and includes unit, feature, component, system
+level testing for development, automated deployment, performance characterization or stress
+testing.
-Some projects are fully dedicated to testing, they provide frameworks or tooling.
-The feature projects also include their own test suites.
-he test projects fulfill different roles (such as functional checks, performance
-measurement, platform and component benchmarks, and analysis) on the scenarios
-released in OPNFV.
+Test projects are dedicated to provide frameworks, tooling and test-cases catagorized as
+functional, performance or compliance testing. Test projects fulfill different roles such as
+verifying VIM functionality, benchmarking components and platforms or analysis of measured
+KPIs for the scenarios released in OPNFV.
-This document will detail the OPNFV testing ecosystem, describe the commons used
-by the projects and provide the links to project specific documentation.
+Feature projects also provide their own test suites that either run independently or within a
+test project.
