+Overview
+--------
+
+This document describes a high-level design of a system for continuous
+performance measuring, trending and change detection for FD.io VPP SW
+data plane (and other performance tests run within CSIT sub-project).
+
+There is a Performance Trending (PT) CSIT module, and a separate
+Performance Analysis (PA) module ingesting results from PT and
+analysing, detecting and reporting any performance anomalies using
+historical data and statistical metrics. PA does also produce
+trending dashboard, list of failed tests and graphs with summary and
+drill-down views across all specified tests that can be reviewed and
+inspected regularly by FD.io developers and users community.
