-This is the Fast Data Project (FD.io) Continuous System Integration and Testing\r
-(CSIT) project report for CSIT |release| system testing of VPP-17.01 release.\r
-Initial sections of the report describe FD.io functional and performance tests\r
-and their continuous execution achieved in CSIT |release|. This is followed by\r
-high-level overview of FD.io test environments running in Linux Foundation\r
-(LF) FD.io Continuous Performance Labs), CSIT |release| release notes and\r
-result highlights. Subsequent sections list the functional and performance\r
-detailed test results generated by LF FD.io Jenkins system executing CSIT jobs\r
-running tests against the VPP-17.01 release and associated sub-systems\r
-(HoneyComb, DPDK).\r
-\r
-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
