=============
-Test Results Collector of OPNFV Test Projects
+**Test Results Collector of OPNFV Test Projects**:
-Start Server
-==============
+This project aims to provide a common way of gathering all the test results for OPNFV
+testing projects into a single place, and a unified way of getting those results for
+testing analysis projects, such as Reporting/Bitergia Dashboard/Qtip. It exposes
+Restful APIs for collecting results and pushing them into a MongoDB database.
+
+If you are interested in how TestAPI looks like, please visit OPNFV's official `TestAPI Server`__
