+bmcweb being a user and network facing daemon, is subject to a vast array of
+tests and clients that could target it.  The below attempts to provide a
+non-exhaustive list of tests and clients that bmcweb is expected to be
+compatible with, they are split into a couple categories.  Entries in the test
+category are intended to be qualification tests to ensure the bmcweb meets the
+specification.  Entries in the clients category are intended to host user-facing
+functionality.
+
+The base expectation is that for master versions of bmcweb, and master versions
+of these tools, the tests pass 100%.  There may be cases where we workaround
+limitations in the testing tools behavior within bmcweb to make the tools pass,
+regardless of whether there is user impact.
+
+##Tests##
+
+Redfish-Service-Validator: A tool to verify through GET requests that bmcweb
+properly implements the Redfish schemas in the responded Resource.
+git@github.com:DMTF/Redfish-Service-Validator.git
+
+Status: 100% passing.  Integrated with CI to ensure no regressions.
+
+Redfish-Protocol-Validator: A tool to verify the protocol-level interactions
+with the Redfish wire-protocol, and checks those against the Redfish
+specification.
+git@github.com:DMTF/Redfish-Protocol-Validator.git
+
+Status: 95+% of assertions passing.  No CI integration.
+
+
+OpenBMC-test-automation: A tool based on robot framework for testing some
+portion of the OpenBMC Redfish use cases.
