 #. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
 
-   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two
-     NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now
-     used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests.
+   - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with
+     802.1q (vlan) and 802.1ad (vxlan) encapsulation from Traffic Generator.
 
-   - **Soak Tests**: Optimized performamce soak tests framework
-     code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery
-     at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours,
-     days, weeks. See updated
-     :ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
+   - **GBP tests**: Added GBP routing test cases with 802.1q (vlan) external
+     traffic.
 
-#. TEST FRAMEWORK
+   - **AVF IPv4 scale tests**: Increased coverage of AVF IPv4 base and scale
+     test cases.
+
+   - **2n-skx tests**: Increased coverage of selected (COP, iACL, Policer)
+     test cases.
+
+   - **IPsec scale tests**: Added IPsec interface mode scale tests with
+     1, 40, 400, 1000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 60000 tunnels. Removed DPDK
+     backend dependency.
 
-   - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of
-     QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added
-     implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used
-     NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF.
+   - **Hoststack TCP tests**: Added Hoststack TCP performance tests
+     using WRK to the HTTP static server plugin measuring connections
+     per second and requests per second.

+   - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Finished conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
      PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
-     of PAPI Executor and PAPI history.
+     of PAPI Executor and PAPI history. Currently the only exception is

    - **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
-     removal of redundant RF keywords.
+     removal of redundant RF keywords and aligning of suite/test

-   - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for
-     different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses
-     base tests suites as source.
-
-   - **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator.
