+# Documentation
+
+Use the cord-setup.sh bash script to run the tests for your test environment.
+
+* In order to build a fresh test container before running the test, use the -b option like below:
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -a freeradius:latest -b onos:runtest -t dhcp-igmp
+'''
+
+* The above would build a docker container called onos:runtest before running the test.
+Otherwise it tries to spawn an existing test container called, onos:nosetest to run the tests.
+
+* To start the cord-tester, make sure you have onos and radius containers started and running.
+* Then you can start it with the container id or tag like below:
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -a freeradius:latest -t dhcp
+'''
+
+* The above would spawn a test container and run the dhcp test.
+
+* If you want to run a list of tests, just separate them with hypens.
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -a freeradius:latest -t dhcp-igmp-tls
+'''
+
+* If you want to run a specific test, you can give the classname.testname like below
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -a freeradius:latest -t dhcp:dhcp_exchange.test_dhcp_1request-igmp:test_igmp_1group_join_latency
+'''
+
+* If you want to spawn a test and kill the test container after the tests are done, specify the -k option like below.
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -a freeradius:latest -t dhcp -k
+'''
+
+* If you want to cleanup all the test containers by tag onos:nosetest, then use the -C cleanup option to cleanup test containers.
+
+'''
+sudo ./cord-setup.sh -o onos:latest -C onos:nosetest
+'''
+
+* For other options, run with -h option.
