+Yardstick_ is an OPNFV Project.
+
+The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective
+of a Virtual Network Function (:term:`VNF`).
+
+The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test
+cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(:term:`NFVI`) verification.
+The Project also includes a sample :term:`VNF`, the Virtual Traffic Classifier
+(:term:`VTC`) and its experimental framework, *ApexLake* !
+
+*Yardstick* is used in OPNFV for verifying the OPNFV infrastructure and some of
+the OPNFV features. The *Yardstick* framework is deployed in several OPNFV
+community labs. It is *installer*, *infrastructure* and *application*
+independent.
+
+.. seealso:: Pharos_ for information on OPNFV community labs and this
+ Presentation_ for an overview of *Yardstick*
