+Jenkins jobs: Unit testing
+==========================
+
+Intent
+------
+
+With each new VOLTHA LTS release (v2.11, v2.8) jenkins unit testing and
+sandbox tooling must be branched for release to protect testing from
+future enhancements on master branch.
+
+JJB configs are maintained in a central repository and are not maintained
+on a seprate branch within revision control.  Instead versioning is
+implemented using naming conventions within the job configs.
+
+WIP: 
+----
+- Clone the ci-management repository
+
+  - git clone ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/ci-management.git 
+
+
+TODO
+----
+- Document the current testing setup.
