-QTIP Benchmark Suite
----------------------
+QTIP is a performance benchmark service for OPNFV platform
 
-QTIP is a benchmarking suite intended to benchmark the following components of the OPNFV Platform:
+QTIP aims to benchmark OPNFV platforms through a "Bottom up" approach. Emphasis
+on platform performance through quantitative benchmarks rather than validation.
 
-1. Computing components
-2. Networking components
-3. Storage components
-
-The efforts in QTIP are mostly focused on identifying
-
-1. Benchmarks to run
-2. Test cases in which these benchmarks to run
-3. Automation of suite to run benchmarks within different test cases
-4. Collection of test results
-
-QTIP Framework can now be called:  (qtip.py).
-
-The Framework can run 5 computing benchmarks:
-
-1. Dhrystone
-2. Whetstone
-3. RamBandwidth
-4. SSL
-5. nDPI
-
-These benchmarks can be run in 2 test cases:
-
-1. VM vs Baremetal
-2. Baremetal vs Baremetal
-
-Instructions to run the script:
-
-1. Download and source the OpenStack `adminrc` file for the deployment on which you want to create the VM for benchmarking
-2. run `python qtip.py -s {SUITE} -b {BENCHMARK}`
-3. run `python qtip.py -h` for more help
-4. list of benchmarks can be found in the `qtip/test_cases` directory
-5. SUITE refers to compute, network or storage
-
-Requirements:
-
-1. Ansible 1.9.2
-2. Python 2.7
-3. PyYAML
-
-Configuring Test Cases:
-
-Test cases can be found within the `test_cases` directory.
-For each Test case, a Config.yaml file contains the details for the machines upon which the benchmarks would run.
-Edit the IP and the Password fields within the files for the machines on which the benchmark is to run.
-A robust framework that would allow to include more tests would be included within the future.
-
-Jump Host requirements:
-
-The following packages should be installed on the server from which you intend to run QTIP.
-
-1: Heat Client
-2: Glance Client
-3: Nova Client
-4: Neutron Client
-5: wget
-6: PyYaml
-
-Networking
-
-1: The Host Machines/compute nodes to be benchmarked should have public/access network
-2: The Host Machines/compute nodes should allow Password Login
-
-QTIP support for Foreman
-
