+========

+.. note::
+
+ This section includes an abbreviated version of the VPP Test Framework
+ overview maintained within the VPP project. Complete overview can be found
+ in `VPP unit test documentation <link>`_
+
+VPP Unit Test Framework
+-----------------------
+
+VPP Test Framework is used to ease writing, running and debugging unit tests
+for the VPP. It is based on python as a high level language to allow rapid
+test development. scapy\_ is used as a tool for creating and dissecting
+packets.
+
+VPP Test Framework does not send any packets to VPP directly. Traffic is
+instead injected using VPP packet-generator interfaces. Packets are written
+into a temporary .pcap file, which is then read by the VPP code with packets
+getting injected into the VPP processing nodes.
+
+Similarly, VPP does not send any packets to VPP Test Framework directly.
+Instead, VPP packet capture feature is used to capture and write packets to a
+temporary .pcap file, which is then read and analyzed by the VPP Test
+Framework.
+
+For complete description of the VPP Test Framework including anatomy of a test
+case and detailed documentation of existing VPP unit test cases please refer
+to the `VPP unit test documentation <link>`_
