+==========================================
+Instructions For Running The ROC API Tests
+==========================================
+
+The REST API of the Aether ROC is tested utilizing the Robot Framework.
+The tests are located inside the aether-system-tests repository and they are run nightly using
+Jenkins job.
+
+Development Prerequisites
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To access the ROC API from a local system, it is necessary to deploy the components of µONOS.
+This can be done with the use of Helm (see instructions on
+`this page <https://docs.onosproject.org/onos-docs/docs/content/developers/deploy_with_helm/>`_).
+
+| Additionally, it is necessary to add the sdran chart repo with the following command:
+| ``helm repo add sdran --username USER --password PASSWORD https://sdrancharts.onosproject.org``
+| , where USER and PASSWORD can be obtained from the Aether Login Information file, which is
+| accessibble to the ``onfstaff`` group.
+
+Access the ROC API
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Follow the steps below to access the ROC API:
+
+| 1. Deploy the aether-roc-umbrella chart from the sdran repo with the following command:
+| ``helm -n micro-onos install aether-roc-umbrella sdran/aether-roc-umbrella``
+| 2. Check if all pods are in a Running state with the command ``kubectl -n micro-onos get pods``
+| This should give a list like:
+
+
++---------------------------------+-------+---------+----------+-----+
+| NAME                            | READY |  STATUS | RESTARTS | AGE |

+| aether-roc-api-56f54d69d4-b4mkk | 1/1   | Running | 0        | 46s |

+
+| 3. Once all pods are in a Running state, port-forward to port 8181 with the following command:
+| ``kubectl -n micro-onos port-forward $(kubectl -n micro-onos get pods -l type=api -o name) 8181``
+
+Running the tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+| 1. Checkout the aether-system-tests repo:
+| ``git clone "ssh://$GIT_USER@gerrit.opencord.org:29418/aether-system-tests"``
+| 2. Go to the repo directory:
+| ``cd aether-system-tests``
+| 3. Install the requirements:
+| ``make ast-venv``
+| 4. The ROC API test files are located inside the ``tests/roc/api`` directory. There is a test file
+| for each of the API end points. For example, we can run the test file for ``access-profile`` with
+| the following command:
+| ``robot tests/roc/api/access-profile.robot``
+| This will generate test reports and logs in the current directory.
