+QTIP CLI Usage
+**************
+
+QTIP consists of a number of benchmarking tools or metrics, grouped under QPI's. QPI's map to the different
+components of a NFVI ecosystem, such as compute, network and storage. Depending on the type of application,
+a user may group them under plans.
+
+QTIP CLI provides interface to all of the above the components. A help page provides a list of all the commands
+along with a short description.
+::
+
+  qtip [-h|--help]
+
+Typically a complete plan is executed at the target environment. QTIP defaults to a number of sample plans.
+A list of all the available plans can be viewed
+::
+
+  qtip plan list
+
+In order to view the details about a specific plan.
+::
+
+  qtip plan show <plan_name>
+
+where *plan_name* is one of those listed from the previous command.
+
+To execute a complete plan
+::
+
+  qtip plan run <plan_name> -p <path_to_result_directory>
+
+QTIP does not limit result storage at a specific directory. Instead a user may specify his own result storage
+as above. An important thing to remember is to provide absolute path of result directory.
+::
+
+  mkdir result
+  qtip plan run <plan_name> -p $PWD/result
+
+Similarly, the same commands can be used for the other two components making up the plans, i.e QPI's and metrics.
+
+QTIP also provides the utility to view benchmarking results on the console. One just need to provide to where
+the results are stored. Extending the example above
+::
+
+  qtip report show <metric_name> -p $PWD/result
+
+Debug option helps identify the error by providing a detailed traceback. It can be enabled as
+::
+
+  qtip [-d|--debug] plan run <plan_name>
