-Template Guidelines, vist the `Heat Guidelines <https://onap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submodules/vnfrqts/requirements.git/docs/Chapter5/Heat/index.html>`__
-
-About
-_____
-
-The validation scripts project allows performing heat template
-validation without installing the full VVP platform. The following
-instructions apply to running these validation scripts in that manner.
-
-
-Installation
-____________
-
-This software is not platform dependent and can be run in a Windows, Unix or
-OS X environment.
-
-Satisfy Dependencies
-####################
-
-
- These can be installed using pip (assuming pip is installed) with the command:
-
-``$ pip install -r requirements.txt``
-
-Use
-___
-
-Clone this project.
-
-To validate Heat templates just run this the command under the folder ``ice_validator``:
-
-``</path/to/validation-scripts/ice_validator>$ pytest --tap-stream --template-directory=<Directory>``
-
-where ``<Directory>`` is the full path to a folder containing heat templates.
-
-Output
-______
-
-After performing a validation, an output folder will be created.
-
-``/path/to/validation-scripts/ice_validator/output/``
-
-This folder will contain a file ``report.html`` which contains a list of all
-of the ONAP VNF Heat Template Guideline violations. If there are no violations,
-the report will say ``No validation errors found.``
-
-Interpreting the Output
-_______________________
-
-The report file will have 4 columns for details about a violation, and one
-row for each violation. Below contains details about each column.
-
-File
-####
-
-This is the file(s) that contained the violation
-
-Error Message
-#############
-
-This shows the test and brief error message from the validation script that
-contained the violation. There is a ``Full Details`` button to show the
-complete raw test output. The error message will also contain details
-about what element is involved with the violation (such as the parameter
-name, resource id, etc...).
-
-Requirement(s)
-##############
-
-This column contains the requirement(s) that each test/violation is
-mapped to. These requirements are taken directly from the VNF Requirements
-project Heat Orchestration Template Guidelines section.
-
-
-Resolution Steps
-################
-
-For some violations, there are pre-defined resolution steps that
-indicate what action the user should take to resolve the violation.
-
-**Note**: Not all violations will have resolution steps. Most violations
-can be resolved simply by reviewing the requirements that have been violated
-in the previous column.
-
-
-Self-Test Suite
-_______________
-
-The ``ice_validator`` includes an extensive self-test suite. It is a
-**requirement** for any additions or changes to the test suite to
-successfully and cleanly complete a tox run. Simply run ``tox`` from
-the project root as:
-
-``$ tox``
-
-You can also run it under the folder ``ice_validator``:
-
-``$ pytest --self-test``
