-FD.io CSIT system is developed using two main coding platforms: Robot\r
-Framework (RF) and Python. CSIT |release| source code for the executed test\r
-suites is available in CSIT branch |release| in the directory\r
-"./tests/<name_of_the_test_suite>". A local copy of CSIT source code can be\r
-obtained by cloning CSIT git repository - "git clone\r
-https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit". The CSIT testing virtual environment can be run\r
-on a local computer workstation (laptop, server) using Vagrant by following\r
-the instructions in `CSIT tutorials\r
-<https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT#Tutorials>`_.\r
