-   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
-     service density tests focus on measuring total per server throughput at
-     varied NFV service *packing* densities with vswitch providing host
-     dataplane. The goal is to compare and contrast performance of a shared
-     vswitch for different network topologies and virtualization technologies,
-     and their impact on vswitch performance and efficiency in a range of NFV
-     service configurations.
+   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher density tests with dtc=0.5
+     (2 NF each with 1 DT per physical core) with VPP as a VNF payload.
 
    - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework

 #. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
-   - **Container code optimizations**: Optimized container library allows to
-     run containre_memif tests faster.
+   - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components
+     QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added
+     implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM alongisde the previously used
+     NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF.
 
    - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
      PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
-     from VAT.
+     from VAT. Redesign of key components of PAPI Executor and PAPI history.
 
    - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
      removal of redundant RF keywords.
 
+   - **Test suite generator**: Extend the test suite generator for ability to
+     generate NIC permutation and search algorithm permutations from base
+     suites.
+
+   - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator.
