-# STEPS TO START DEVELOPING TESTS LOCALLY
- - install virtualenv
- - generate environment using virtualenv:
-    # cd $ROOT
-    # virtualenv env
-    # source env/bin/activate
- - install python requirements for this project by executing:
-    # pip install -r requirements.txt
- - make sure user mentioned in topology.py has NOPASSWD sudo access to
-    vpp_api_test
-
-Note:
-You can alternatively create the virtualenv with the flag --system-site-packages
-It give access to the global site-packages dir to the virtual environment, which
-is faster, but you may end up with some conflicts.
-
-
- Done.
-
-# STEPS TO START THE TESTS
-export PYTHONPATH=.
-
-# create topology, edit ip addresses
-cp topologies/available/3_node_hw_topo1.yaml.example topologies/available/topology.yaml
-ln -s ../available/topology.yaml topologies/enabled/topology.yaml
-
-pybot -L TRACE -v TOPOLOGY_PATH:topologies/enabled/topology.yaml tests
- or
-./main.py -t topologies/enabled/topology.yaml -i test_tag
- or
-./main.py
-
-
-# Dependencies on Nodes
-
- - virtualenv
- - pip
- - python2.7
- - python-dev package
- - gcc (pycrypto)
- - libpcap-devel (pypcap)
-
-``` bash
-# on fedora26
-yum install -y python-virtualenv python-pip python python-devel libpcap-devel gcc
-
-# if you have the following error during pycrypto
-# gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 No such file or directory

+## Architecture
+
+FD.io CSIT system design needs to meet continuously expanding requirements of
+FD.io projects including VPP, related sub-systems (e.g. plugin applications,
+DPDK drivers) and FD.io applications (e.g. DPDK applications), as well as
+growing number of compute platforms running those applications. With CSIT
+project scope and charter including both FD.io continuous testing AND
+performance trending/comparisons, those evolving requirements further amplify
+the need for CSIT framework modularity, flexibility and usability.
+
+CSIT follows a hierarchical system design with SUTs and DUTs at the bottom level
+of the hierarchy, presentation level at the top level and a number of functional
+layers in-between. The current CSIT system design including CSIT framework is
+depicted in the figure below.
+
+![csit design](docs/report/csit_framework_documentation/csit_design_picture.svg "CSIT architecture")
+
+A brief bottom-up description is provided here:
+
+1. SUTs, DUTs, TGs
+   - SUTs - Systems Under Test;
+   - DUTs - Devices Under Test;
+   - TGs - Traffic Generators;
+1. Level-1 libraries - Robot and Python
+   - Lowest level CSIT libraries abstracting underlying test environment, SUT,
+     DUT and TG specifics;
+   - Used commonly across multiple L2 KWs;
+   - Performance and functional tests:
+     - L1 KWs (KeyWords) are implemented as RF libraries and Python
+       libraries;
+   - Performance TG L1 KWs:
+     - All L1 KWs are implemented as Python libraries:
+       - Support for TRex only today;
+   - Performance data plane traffic profiles:
+     - TG-specific stream profiles provide full control of:
+       - Packet definition – layers, MACs, IPs, ports, combinations thereof
+         e.g. IPs and UDP ports;
+       - Stream definitions - different streams can run together, delayed,
+         one after each other;
+       - Stream profiles are independent of CSIT framework and can be used
+         in any T-rex setup, can be sent anywhere to repeat tests with
+         exactly the same setup;
+       - Easily extensible – one can create a new stream profile that meets
+         tests requirements;
+       - Same stream profile can be used for different tests with the same
+         traffic needs;
+   - Functional data plane traffic scripts:
+     - Scapy specific traffic scripts;
+1. Level-2 libraries - Robot resource files
+   - Higher level CSIT libraries abstracting required functions for executing
+     tests;
+   - L2 KWs are classified into the following functional categories:
+     - Configuration, test, verification, state report;
+     - Suite setup, suite teardown;
+     - Test setup, test teardown;
+1. Tests - Robot
+   - Test suites with test cases;
+   - Functional tests using VIRL environment:
+     - VPP;
+     - Honeycomb;
+     - NSH_SFC;
+     - DMM;
+     - TLDK;
+   - Performance tests using physical testbed environment:
+     - VPP;
+     - DPDK-Testpmd;
+     - DPDK-L3Fwd;
+     - Honeycomb;
+     - VPP Container K8s orchestrated topologies;
+   - Tools:
+     - Documentation generator;
+     - Report generator;
+     - Testbed environment setup ansible playbooks;
+     - Operational debugging scripts;

+## Quickstart
+
+### Vagrant
+
+[Vagrant environment preparation](docs/testing_in_vagrant.rst) documentaion is
+describing local VPP Device functional testing.
+
+### Physical Testbed
+
+[Physical testbed preparation](resources/tools/testbed-setup/README.md)
+documentation is describing PXE and Ansible setup process. All the software
+requirements for running Performance Teste are part of Ansible playbooks.

-QEMU is used for VPP-VM testing enviroment. You need to run qemu-2.2.1 or newer
-in order to Vhos-user support. In CSIT VIRL setup DUT has preinstalled QEMU and
-have small VM image "/var/lib/vm/vhost-nested.img". QEMU binary path must
-be "/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-system-x86_64". You can use following script to replicate
-QEMU setup on DUT "resources/libraries/bash/qemu_build.sh" for local testing,
-out of LF's VM setup. VM image must have installed at least qemu-guest-agent,
-sshd, bridge-utils and VirtIO support. Note that VPP must be installed before
-starting QEMU, because VPP will do the hugepages configuration as part of it's
-installation process. Username/password for the VM must be cisco/cisco and
-NOPASSWD sudo access. The interface naming is based on driver (management
-interface type is Intel E1000), all E1000 interfaces will be named mgmt<n> and
-all VirtIO interfaces will be named virtio<n>. In VM
-"/etc/init.d/qemu-guest-agent" you must set "TRANSPORT=isa-serial:/dev/ttyS1"
-because ttyS0 is used by serial console and ttyS1 is dedicated for
-qemu-guest-agent in QEMU setup.
-There is python library for QEMU setup, start and some utilities
-"resources/libraries/python/QemuUtils.py" and keyword "Stop and Clear QEMU" for
-teardown in resources/libraries/robot/vm/qemu.robot. "Qemu Start" setup one
-management interface by default. You can add Vhost-user interfaces by
-"Qemu Add Vhost User If" keyword.
-Example usage in robot framework test:
-
-*** Settings ***
-| Resource | resources/libraries/robot/vm/qemu.robot
-
-*** Test Cases ***
-| VM test
-| | [Tags] | VPP_VM_ENV
-| | Qemu Set Node | ${nodes['DUT1']}
-| | Qemu Add Vhost User If | /tmp/vhost_sock
-| | ${vm}= | Set Variable | ${None}
-| | ${vm}= | Qemu Start
-| | [Teardown] | Stop and Clear QEMU | ${dut1} | ${vm}
-
-Note that VPP must be started and configured before starting the VM when using
-Vhost-user interfaces.

+QEMU is used for VPP-VM testing enviroment. By default, standard QEMU version
+preinstalled from OS repositories is used on VIRL/vpp_device functional testing
+(qemu-2.11.x for Ubuntu 18.04, qemu-2.5.0 for Ubuntu 16.04). For perfomance
+testing QEMU is downloaded from `project homepage <qemu.org>`_ and compiled
+during testing. This allows framework to easily inject QEMU patches in case of
+need. In QEMU version <2.8 we used it for increasing QEMU virtion queue size.
+In CSIT setup DUTs have small VM image `/var/lib/vm/vhost-nested.img`. QEMU
+binary can be adjusted in global settings. VM image must have installed at least
+qemu-guest-agent, sshd, bridge-utils, VirtIO support and Testpmd/L3fwd
+application. Username/password for the VM must be cisco/cisco and
+NOPASSWD sudo access. The interface naming is based on driver (management
+interface type is Intel E1000), all E1000 interfaces will be named mgmt<n> and
