+Storperf Reporting Module
+==========================
+
+
+About this project
+=====================
+
+* This project aims to create a series of graphs to support the SNIA reports.
+* All data for the reports can be fetched either from the OPNFV Test Results DB, or locally from StorPerf's own database of current run data.
+* The report code may be stored in either the Releng repository (so it can be included in the Test Results Dashboards), or locally in StorPerf's own git repository.
+* The report (generated by the reporting module) looks like the following example:
+
+.. image:: demo_example.png
+ :align: center
+
+Usage
+=======
+
+* Enter the URL for the location of the data for which you want to generate the report.
+* Note: You can test the module using the testdata present in the directory ``storperf-reporting/src/static/testdata``. Instead of the URL enter the filename present in the testdata directory, eg. **local-data.json**
+* After entering the URL, you are taken to the page showing the details of the all the jobs present in the data.
+* Click on the *Click here to view details* to see the different block sizes for the respective job.
+* Click on the block size and select the parameter for which you want to view the graph.
+
+Graph Explanation
+===================
+
+Example of a graph generated is shown below:-
+
+
+.. image:: graph_explanation.png
+ :align: center
+
+**Steady State Convergence Graph**
+
+* This graph shows the values as reported by StorPerf for the actual and average throughput.
+* Also shown is the average +-10% and the slope.
+* It serves to visually demonstrate the compliance to the steady state definition.
+* The allowed maximum data excursion is 20% of the average (or average x 0.20)
+* The allowed maximum slope excursion is 10% of the average.
+* The measured data excursion is the value from range.
+* The measured slope excursion is the value from range
+
+Workflow
+==========
+
+A Flask server is used to fetch the data and is sent to the client side for formation of the graphs (Using Javascript).
+
+Steps involved
+--------------
+
+* Step 1: Data is fetched from the OPNFV Test Results ReST API
+* Step 2: The fields "report_data" and "metrics" are taken from the JSON object retrieved in the above step and sent to the client side.
+* Step 3: The "report_data" is obtained by the client side and a parser written in Javascript along with Plotly.js forms the graphs.
+
+Directory structure
+====================
+
+``storperf/docker/storperf-reporting/`` contains the code used for this project.
+
+The file structure is as follows:-
+
+.. code-block:: bash
