+- onboarding-be - onboarding backend code
+- onboarding-ui - onboarding frontend code
+- integration-tests - The integration tests using the docker images to validate Backend API calls and FE with Selenium
+- sdc-os-chef - chefs scripts used for docker creation and startup
+- utils - set of dev utils used for working with the project locally
+
+
+In order to build all the projects, as mentioned in the onap wiki https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Setting+Up+Your+Development+Environment, the settings.xml (https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/settings.xml) from the oparent project must be installed in your ~/.m2 folder and referenced by your IDE.
+Once maven is set up properly, go to sdc project and run the command: `mvn clean install`
+
+By default, the "all" maven profile will be executed but others exist:
+* fast-build - A fast build skipping all tests and useless maven plugins (only builds the jars)
+* start-sdc - Once docker containers have been build, triggering this profile starts SDC CS, BE, FE, simulator
+* stop-sdc - Stop all SDC containers started by using the profile "start-sdc"
+* run-integration-tests - This runs only the integration tests against a running SDC started by using "start-sdc" profile.
+* docker - This enables the docker images build for each SDC module
+ **Note: If you're working on Windows, you'll need to define an environment variable on your machine with key `DOCKER_HOST` and value: `tcp://<ip_address>:2375` in order to build and upload local dockers to a local environment.**
+
+More flags to use in the build process are:
+* -DskipITs - Skips integration tests only
+* -DskipTests - Skips unit tests execution and integration tests
+* -DskipUICleanup=true - Skips deleting the UI folders
+* -Djacoco.skip=true - Skips running jacoco tests
+* -DskipPMD - Skips creating a PMD report
+
+## Accessing SDC
+
+After having started SDC with the command `mvn clean install -P start-sdc`, you can access it by accessing this URL: `http://<ip_address>:8285/login`
+As ONAP AAF is not present, the url provided uses the 8285 simulator ports, just click on the user you want to use for accessing SDC (i.e. Carlos Santana)
+For more information regarding using the webseal_simulator please refer to the following guide: [SDC Simulator](https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/SDC+Simulator)

+
+
+### Accessing the logs
+
+To access the logs, there are different options:
+* Connect to the docker container you want to inspect by doing `docker exec -it -u root sdc-XXXXXXXX-1 sh`
+ Then look at the logs generally in /var/lib/jetty/logs or /var/log/onap (that may differ !)
+* A volume is shared between the BE, onboard-BE and FE containers, this volume is mapped to `/tmp/sdc-integration-tests`,
+ In that folder you can obtain the logs of the different containers
+
+### Debugging SDC
+
+After having started SDC with the command `mvn clean install -P start-sdc`, different java remote debug ports are opened by default:
+* Onboard Backend - 4001 (jetty)
+* Backend - 4000 (jetty)
+* Frontend - 6000 (jetty)
+It's therefore possible to connect your IDE to those debug ports remotely to walk through the code and add some breakpoints.
+
+**Look at the pom.xml of the integration-tests module to have a better understanding of all the docker settings provided to start SDC.**
+
+### Integration tests
+The integration are composed of 2 parts, one to test the BE Apis and another one to test the FE with selenium.
+The selenium tests make use of the selenium/standalone-firefox:2.53.1 container.
+
+About BE APIs tests, onboarding E2E flow :
+Onboarding E2E flow cover following SDC functionality:
+
+ Onboard of VNF
+ Create VF from VSP
+ Certify VF
+ Create Service
+ Add VF to service
+
+ Certify Service
+ Export TOSCA and validate it structure using external TOSCA parser
+
+**as part of execution we open a connection to Titan and perform resources clean up both before and after tests execution (only resource with “ci” prefix will be deleted from the catalog)
+List of VNFs/PNFs that proceed by onboarding flow, located in `integration-tests/src/test/resources/Files/`)

+
+#### Start the integration tests manually
+
+Those tests execute the following
+There are 2 options to start them:
+* After having started SDC with the command `mvn clean install -P start-sdc`, run the command `mvn clean install -P run-integration-tests`
+* If you want to debug them and run them from your IDE, you must start them from the testNG Suites files, otherwise this won't work.
+ The test suites are located here:
+ * BE: `integration-tests/src/test/resources/ci/testSuites/backend`
+ * FE: `integration-tests/src/test/resources/ci/testSuites/frontend`
+
+#### Integration tests with Helm Validator
