+
+- Swagger annotations
+- `Spring Framework <https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot>`_
+- `JOLT <https://github.com/bazaarvoice/jolt>`_ to perform JsonToJson transformation
+- `FasterXML/Jackson <https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson>`_ to perform JSON parsing
+- `Wiremock <https://github.com/tomakehurst/wiremock>`_ to perform testing over HTTP mocked response

+Configuration
+*************
+A configuration file, *src/main/resources/application-localhost.properties*
+list all the component interface that can be configured depending on
+the environment were the application is deployed.
+By default, the application runs with an embedded both MongoDB and MariaDB

+This file also list configurations of all the REST interface maid from NBI
+to other ONAP component such as SDC, AA&I and SO.
+
+***********
+Source tree
+***********
+This application provides ServiceOrder, ServiceCatalag and ServiceInventory
+as main functional resources and HealthCheck. Each resource is implemented
+independently in a package corresponding to its name.
+
+*commons , configuration, and exceptions* are shared technical classes that
+provided for all the application.
+
+
+***********************************
+Running and testing the application
+***********************************
+
+**Locally**
+
+Ensure that you have a MongoDB and MariaDB instance running and properly
+configured in *application.properties* file.
+Run *Application.java* class in your favorite IDE
+
+Or through a terminal, ensure that your maven installation is works and
+run *mvn spring-boot:run* command to start the application.
+
+
+**Docker**
+
+Requirements: `Docker engine <https://docs.docker.com/engine/>`_ and
+`docker-compose <https://docs.docker.com/compose/>`_.
+
+To start the application:
+
+    1. Generate the application .jar file: `$ mvn clean package`
+    2. Configure the **.env** file
+    3. Start the *MariaDB* and *MongoDB* services:
+       `$ docker-compose up -d mongo mariadb`
+    4. Build and start the *NBI* service: `$ docker-compose up --build -d nbi`
+
+You can view the log output of the application with the following command:
+
+`$ docker-compose logs -f nbi`
+
+**Testing**
+When the application is running, you can access the API at
+:samp:`http://yourhostname:8080/nbi/api/v1` and fill the URL with the name
+of the resources you asking for (/serviceSpecification, /service,
+/serviceOrder or /status)
+You can run a test by using `VisualStudio RestClient plugin <https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient>`_
+See the *restclient* package at root level to find *.vscode/settings.json*
+configuration file and */json/* package with samples requests that can be run.
+You can also trigger these endpoints with any RESTful client or automation
+framework.
