+It is possible to debug VPP by attaching ``gdb`` before test execution by adding ``DEBUG=true`` like follows:
+
+::
+
+ $ make test TEST=TestVeths/TestLDPreloadIperfVpp DEBUG=true
+ ...
+ run following command in different terminal:
+ docker exec -it server-vpp gdb -ex "attach $(docker exec server-vpp pidof vpp)"
+ Afterwards press CTRL+C to continue
+
+If a test consists of more VPP instances then this is done for each of them.
