+Policy Distribution Smoke Test
+################################
+
+The policy-distribution smoke testing is executed against a custom ONAP docker installation as defined in the "policy/docker/csit/docker-compose-distribution-smoke.yml"
+This test verifies the execution of the REST api's exposed by the component to make sure the CSAR Decoding and Forwarding works as expected.
+
+General Setup
+*****************
+In policy/docker/csit/
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./start-grafana.sh distribution
+
+This script will compose the ONAP components used during the smoke tests are:
+
+- Policy API to perform CRUD of policies.
+- Policy DB to store the policies, and DB Migrator to start the db.
+- DMAAP Simulator for the communication between components.
+- Policy PAP to perform runtime administration (deploy/undeploy/status/statistics/etc).
+- Policy Apex-PDP to deploy & undeploy policies. And send heartbeats to PAP.
+- Policy Drools-PDP to deploy & undeploy policies. And send heartbeats to PAP.
+- Policy Xacml-PDP to deploy & undeploy policies. And send heartbeats to PAP.
+
+- Policy Distribution to test the Decoding and Farwarding functions.
+
+Use this script to easly bring down the containers :
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ./stop-grafana.sh
+
+Testing procedure
+**********************
+
+The test set is focused on the following use cases:
+
+- Wait until Distribution starts and reach the built-in REST endpoints for fetching healthcheck & statistics.
+- Execute some of the REST api's exposed by policy-pap component.
+
+Starting Policy Distribution
+------------------------------------
+
+Check the docker logs to see when Distribution service is up and running.
+
+Get the ips of distribution and pap services:
+
+.. code::
+  :number-lines:
+
+    ./get-instance-ip.sh policy-distribution
+	./get-instance-ip.sh policy-pap
+
+Health check status & statistical data of running distribution system.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	curl -u 'healthcheck:zb!XztG34' --basic http://{POLICY_DISTRIBUTION_IP}:6969/healthcheck
+	curl -u 'healthcheck:zb!XztG34' --basic http://{POLICY_DISTRIBUTION_IP}:6969/statistics
+
+Expected result for healthcheck
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+	{"name":"Policy SSD","url":"policy-distribution","healthy":true,"code":200,"message":"alive"}
+
+Expected result for statistics
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+	{"code":200,"totalDistributionCount":0,"distributionSuccessCount":0,"distributionFailureCount":0,"totalDownloadCount":0,"downloadSuccessCount":0,"downloadFailureCount":0}
+
+Trigger Policy Distribution Core
+------------------------------------------
+
+In order to test policy-distribution, we need to trigger the decoding copying a .csar in the mapped volume,
+defined in the docker-compose-distribution-smoke.yml as :
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+      volumes:
+       - ./distribution/config/temp/:/opt/app/policy/distribution/etc/temp/
+
+So now copy the "sample_csar_with_apex_policy.csar" from ./distribution/config/csar/ to ./distribution/config/temp/
+
+If the commissioning is successful we should see from the logs this message
+
+.. image:: images/message-commissioning-participant.png
+
+So if we check the distribution statistics again
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	{"code":200,"totalDistributionCount":1,"distributionSuccessCount":1,"distributionFailureCount":0,"totalDownloadCount":1,"downloadSuccessCount":1,"downloadFailureCount":0}
+
+Execute policy-pap testing
+------------------------------------
+.. note::
+	The user for pap is different.
+
+Check the details of policies deployed
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	curl -k --user 'policyadmin:zb!XztG34' http://{POLICY_PAP_IP}:6969/policy/pap/v1/policies/status
+
+Expected SUCCESS result
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+	[{"pdpGroup":"defaultGroup","pdpType":"apex","pdpId":"apex-91fa25a1-0456-42fa-9556-6a4d2bd613fc","policy":{"name":"operational.apex.sampledomain","version":"1.0.0"},"policyType":{"name":"onap.policies.native.Apex","version":"1.0.0"},"deploy":true,"state":"SUCCESS"},{"pdpGroup":"defaultGroup","pdpType":"xacml","pdpId":"xacml-83e19452-0854-41dd-9f17-8b0a68f11813","policy":{"name":"SDNC_Policy.ONAP_NF_NAMING_TIMESTAMP","version":"1.0.0"},"policyType":{"name":"onap.policies.Naming","version":"1.0.0"},"deploy":true,"state":"SUCCESS"}]
+
+Check number of policies deployed
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	curl -k --user 'policyadmin:zb!XztG34' http://{POLICY_PAP_IP}:6969/policy/pap/v1/policies/deployed
+
+Expected success-count result
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+	[{"policy-type":"onap.policies.native.Apex","policy-type-version":"1.0.0","policy-id":"operational.apex.sampledomain","policy-version":"1.0.0","success-count":1,"failure-count":0,"incomplete-count":0},{"policy-type":"onap.policies.Naming","policy-type-version":"1.0.0","policy-id":"SDNC_Policy.ONAP_NF_NAMING_TIMESTAMP","policy-version":"1.0.0","success-count":1,"failure-count":0,"incomplete-count":0}]
+
+Or download & execute the steps in postman collection for verifying policy-pap component.
+The steps needs to be performed sequentially one after another. And no input is required from user.
+
+`Policy Framework Administration API <https://github.com/onap/policy-pap/blob/master/postman/pap-api-collection.json>`_
+
+Make sure to execute the delete steps in order to clean the setup after testing.
