+=======================================================
+Externalized Testing & VTP Certifications Query Feature
+=======================================================
+
+The Certifications Query and VTP (External to SDC) testing
+feature was added to Dublin to allow SDC onboarding to reach
+outside of SDC for testing of VSPs being onboarded.
+
+These tests include queries for existing certification
+results for prior versions of the VSP and testing of
+CSAR or HEAT metadata via tests in or downstream of VTP.
+The design includes the ability to configure (see configuration below)
+multiple endpoints that SDC onboarding reaches out to for
+external testing.
+
+This diagram presents the architecture to be achieved in Dublin
+or a future release given the resources available.
+
+.. image:: images/sdc-vtp-opnfv.png
+
+New and Impacted Code
+=====================
+
+The new code for this feature follows the software design
+of the existing onboarding BE.  New code is isolated into two
+new subprojects contained within openecomp-be within minimal hooks
+elsewhere.
+
+*New code*:
+
+Code that creates an HTTP endpoint exposed to the SDC-FE for this feature is contained
+in this package:
+  
+  package: api/openecomp-sdc-rest-webapp/externaltesting-rest/externaltesting-rest-services
+  
+Code to hold data types for the VTP API and the implemation of the interface to VTP is contained
+in these packages:
+
+Provide the API and serialization classes for the REST API to VTP
+
+  package: lib/openecomp-sdc-externaltesting-lib/openecomp-sdc-externaltesting-api
+  
+Implementation of the interface to VTP and Registry that are available for the HTTP endpoint above.
+
+  package: lib/openecomp-sdc-externaltesting-lib/openecomp-sdc-externaltesting-impl
+
+*Updated Code*:
+
+To hook this new code into the web app, these additional changes were
+made:
+
+* api/openecomp-sdc-rest-webapp/pom.xml
+  - Updated pom to include new module to build.
+* api/openecomp-sdc-rest-webapp/onboarding-rest-war/pom.xml
+  - Update pom to include externaltesting libraries.
+* api/openecomp-sdc-rest-webapp/onboarding-rest-war
+  - Update src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/beans-services.xml so that the external testing service beans are instantiated.
+
+
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Configuration was added to the onboarding backend yaml in
+order to know the URLs to reach VTP and external testing sources.
+The full configuration is documented in the configuration section
+of this manual.   For details, see the BE-onboarding-configuration.yaml
+section.  Here is an example of the yaml.
+
+::
+
+    # External Testing Configuration
+    externalTestingConfig:
+      #array of endpoints that SDC-BE should connect with for external testing
+      endpoints:
+        // ID for endpoint
+      - id: vtp
+        // what format of post request does the endpoint accept for runs - json or multi-part form
+        postStyle: application/json
+        // is this enpoint enabled or disabled.
+        enabled: false
+        // base URL for the endpoint
+        url: http://ec2-34-237-35-152.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9090
+        // optional api key to pass in header to endpoint
+        apiKey: blahblahblah
+       - id: certifications repository
+          postStyle: application/json
+          url: http://ec2-34-237-35-152.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9090
+          enabled: true
+          apiKey: blahblahblah2
