-Frankfurt release
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The 72 hour Stability Test for apex-pdp has the goal of introducing a steady flow of transactions using jMeter.
-
-The input event will be submitted through the rest interface of DMaaP , which then triggers a grpc request to CDS. Based on the response, another DMaaP event is triggered.
-
-This test will be performed in an OOM deployment setup. The test will be performed in a multi-threaded environment where 5 threads running in JMeter will keep sending events for the duration of 72 hours.
-
-Test Plan Frankfurt release
----------------------------
-
-The 72 hours stability test will run the following steps in a 5 threaded loop.
-
-- **Create Policy** - creates a policy using the policy/api component
-- **Deploy Policy** - deploys the policy in the existing PdpGroup
-- **Check Health** - checks the health status of apex
-- **Send Input Event** - trigger 'unauthenticated.DCAE_CL_OUTPUT' event of DMaaP.
-- **Get Output Event Response** - check for the triggered output event.
-- **Undeploy Policy** - undeploys the policy from PdpGroup
-- **Delete Policy** - deletes the policy using the policy/api component
-
-The following steps can be used to configure the parameters of the test plan.
-
-- **HTTP Header Manager** - used to store headers which will be used for making HTTP requests.
-- **HTTP Request Defaults** - used to store HTTP request details like Server Name or IP, Port, Protocol etc.
-- **User Defined Variables** - used to store the following user defined parameters:
-
-================== ============================================================================ ============================
-**Name** **Description** **Default Value**
-================== ============================================================================ ============================
-wait Wait time after each request (in milliseconds) 120000
-threads Number of threads to run test cases in parallel. 5
-threadsTimeOutInMs Synchronization timer for threads running in parallel (in milliseconds). 150000

-Download and update the jmx file presented in the apex-pdp git repository - `jmx file path <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/apex-pdp.git;a=tree;f=testsuites/apex-pdp-stability/src/main/resources;h=99d373033a190a690d4e05012bc3a656cae7bc3f;hb=refs/heads/master>`_.
-
-- HTTPSampler.domain - The ip address of the VM in which the apex container is running
-- HTTPSampler.port - The listening port, here is 23324
-- ThreadGroup.druation - Set the duration to 72 hours (in seconds)
-
-Use the CLI mode to start the test
