+
+The project's goal is to verify infrastructure compliance, from the perspective
+of a Virtual Network Function (VNF).
+
+The Project's scope is the development of a test framework, *Yardstick*, test
+cases and test stimuli to enable Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure
+(NFVI) verification.
+
+In OPNFV Brahmaputra release, generic test cases covering aspects of the
+metrics in the document ETSI GS NFV-TST001_, "Pre-deployment Testing; Report on
+Validation of NFV Environments and Services" are available; further OPNFV
+releases will provide extended testing of these metrics.
+
+The Project also includes a sample VNF, the Virtual Traffic Classifier (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.
+

+ Yardsticktst_ for material on alignment ETSI TST001 and Yardstick.
