+
+
+This article explains how to build the ONAP Policy Framework for development purposes and how to run stability/performance tests for a variety of components. To start, the developer should consult the latest ONAP Wiki to familiarize themselves with developer best practices and how-tos to setup their environment, see `https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Developer+Best+Practices`.
+
+
+This article assumes that:
+
+* You are using a *\*nix* operating system such as linux or macOS.
+* You are using a directory called *git* off your home directory *(~/git)* for your git repositories
+* Your local maven repository is in the location *~/.m2/repository*
+* You have added settings to access the ONAP Nexus to your M2 configuration, see `Maven Settings Example <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Setting+Up+Your+Development+Environment>`_ (bottom of the linked page)
+
+The procedure documented in this article has been verified to work on a MacBook laptop running macOS Yosemite Version 10.10,5, Sierra Version 10.12.6, a HP Z600 desktop running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, and an Unbuntu 16.04 VM.
+
+Cloning All The Policy Repositories
+***********************************
+
+Run a script such as the script below to clone the required modules from the `ONAP git repository <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/?filter=policy>`_. This script clones all the ONAP Policy Framework repositories.
+
+ONAP Policy Framework has dependencies to the ONAP Parent *oparent* module, the ONAP ECOMP SDK *ecompsdkos* module, and the A&AI Schema module.

+
+Building ONAP Policy Framework Components
+*****************************************
+
+**Step 1:** Optionally, for a completely clean build, remove the ONAP built modules from your local repository.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        rm -fr ~/.m2/repository/org/onap
+
+
+**Step 2:**  A pom such as the one below can be used to build the ONAP Policy Framework modules. Create the *pom.xml* file in the directory *~/git/onap/policy*.
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+   :caption: Typical pom.xml to build the ONAP Policy Framework

+            <module>drools-pdp</module>
+            <module>drools-applications</module>
+            <!-- The engine repo is being deprecated,
+            and can be ommitted if not working with
+            legacy api and components. -->
+            <module>engine</module>
+            <module>distribution</module>
+        </modules>
+    </project>
+
+**Policy Architecture/API Transition**
+
+In Dublin, a new Policy Architecture was introduced. The legacy architecture runs in parallel with the new architecture. It will be deprecated after Frankfurt release.
+If the developer is only interested in working with the new architecture components, the engine sub-module can be ommitted.
+
+
+**Step 3:** You can now build the Policy framework
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+       cd ~/git/onap
+       mvn clean install
+
+
+Running the Stability/Performance Tests
+***************************************
+
+Policy API component
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+72 Hours Stability Test of Policy API
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The 72 hour stability test of policy API has the goal of verifying the stability of running policy design API REST service by 
+ingesting a steady flow of transactions of policy design API calls in a multi-thread fashion to simulate multiple clients' behaviors. 
+All the transaction flows are initiated from a test client server running JMeter for the duration of 72+ hours.
+
+Setup Details
+-------------
+
+The stability test is performed on VMs running in Intel Wind River Lab environment.
+There are 2 seperate VMs. One for running API while the other running JMeter & other necessary components, e.g. MariaDB, to simulate steady flow of transactions.
+For simplicity, let's assume:
+
+VM1 will be running JMeter, MariaDB.
+VM2 will be running API REST service and visualVM.
+

+Performance Test of Policy API
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Performance test of policy-api has the goal of testing the min/avg/max processing time and rest call throughput for all the requests when the number of requests are large enough to saturate the resource and find the bottleneck. 
+
+Setup Details
+-------------
+
+The performance test is performed on OOM-based deployment of ONAP Policy framework components in Intel Wind River Lab environment.
+In addition, we use another VM with JMeter installed to generate the transactions.
+The JMeter VM will be sending large number of REST requests to the policy-api component and collecting the statistics.
+Policy-api component already knows how to communicate with MariaDB component if OOM-based deployment is working correctly.
+
+Test Plan
+---------
+
+Performance test plan is the same as stability test plan above.
+Only differences are, in performance test, we increase the number of threads up to 20 (simulating 20 users' behaviors at the same time) whereas reducing the test time down to 1 hour. 
+
+Run Test
+--------
+
+Running/Triggering performance test will be the same as stability test. That is, launch JMeter pointing to corresponding *.jmx* test plan. The *API_HOST* and *API_PORT* are already set up in *.jmx*.
+
+Test Results
+------------
+
+Test results are shown as below. Overall, the test was running smoothly and successfully. We do see some minor failed transactions, especially in POST calls which intend to write into DB simultaneously in a multi-threaded fashion . All GET calls (reading from DB) were succeeded.

+72 Hours Stability Test of PAP
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The 72 hour Stability Test for PAP has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions initiated from a test client server running JMeter for the duration of 72 hours.
+
+Setup details
+-------------
+
+The stability test is performed on VM's running in OpenStack cloud environment.
+
+There are 2 seperate VM's, one for running PAP & other one for running JMeter to simulate steady flow of transactions.
+
+All the dependencies like mariadb, dmaap simulator, pdp simulator & policy/api component are installed in the VM having JMeter.
+
+For simplicity lets assume
+
+VM1 will be running JMeter, MariaDB, DMaaP simulator, PDP simulator & API component.
+
+VM2 will be running only PAP component.

+Setting up Stability Tests in APEX
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The 72 hour Stability Test for apex-pdp has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions initiated from a test client server running JMeter. The pdp is configured to start a rest server inside it and take input from rest clients (JMeter) and send back output to the rest clients (JMeter).
+
+The input events will be submitted through rest interface of apex-pdp and the results are verified using the rest responses coming out from apex-pdp.
+
+The test will be performed in a multi-threaded environment where 20 threads running in JMeter will keep sending events to apex-pdp in every 500 milliseconds for the duration of 72 hours.
+
+Setup details
+-------------
+
+The stability test is performed on VM's running in OpenStack cloud environment. There are 2 seperate VM's, one for running apex pdp & other one for running JMeter to simulate steady flow of transactions.

+
+Setting up Performance Tests in APEX
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+The apex-pdp has built in support for performance testing. A special performance testing REST server is available in the code base for performance testing. 
+It is in the module `performance-benchmark-test <https://github.com/onap/policy-apex-pdp/tree/master/testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test>`_. 
+To execute a benchmark test, you start the REST server, and then configure and run APEX against the server. 
+There are example configurations for running tests in the `resources of this module <https://github.com/onap/policy-apex-pdp/tree/master/testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test/src/main/resources/examples/benchmark>`_.
+
+In order to run the test for 72 hours, set the batch count in the `EventGeneratorConfig.json <https://github.com/onap/policy-apex-pdp/blob/master/testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test/src/main/resources/examples/benchmark/EventGeneratorConfig.json>`_ file to zero, which causes the REST server to generate batches forever.
+
+Here is an example of how to do this:
+
+1. Clone and build the apex-pdp git repo
+
+2. Go into the performance-benchmark-test module and run the REST server
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cd testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test
+    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.onap.policy.apex.testsuites.performance.benchmark.eventgenerator.EventGenerator" -Dexec.args="-c  src/main/resources/examples/benchmark/EventGeneratorConfig.json"
+
+3. Separately, create a local directory and unzip the APEX tarball
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    mkdir apex
+    cd apex
+    tar zxvf ~/git/onap/policy/apex-pdp/packages/apex-pdp-package-full/target/*gz
+    
+4. Run APEX with a configuration that runs against the benchmark REST server, select the configuration that is appropriate for the number of threads for the number of cores on the host on which APEX is running. For example on a 32 core machine, select the "32" configuration, on an 8 core machine, select the "08" configuration.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    bin/apexApps.sh engine -c ~/git/onap/policy/apex-pdp/testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test/src/main/resources/examples/benchmark/Javascript64.json
+ 
+5. To get the test results, Issue the following command using CURL or from a browser(also can store the result into a file by setting outfile in the `EventGeneratorConfig.json <https://github.com/onap/policy-apex-pdp/blob/master/testsuites/performance/performance-benchmark-test/src/main/resources/examples/benchmark/EventGeneratorConfig.json>`_ file, statistics would be written into this file after event generator terminated)
+ 
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    curl http://localhost:32801/EventGenerator/Stats
+    
+The results are similar to those below:
