+The code of the Test API is hosted in the releng repository `[TST2]`_.
+The static documentation of the Test API can be found at `[TST3]`_.
+The Test API has been dockerized and may be installed locally in your lab.
+
+The deployment of the Test API has been automated.
+A jenkins job manages:
+
+ * the unit tests of the Test API
+ * the creation of a new docker file
+ * the deployment of the new Test API
+ * the archive of the old Test API
+ * the backup of the Mongo DB
+
+Test API Authorization
+----------------------
+
+PUT/DELETE/POST operations of the TestAPI now require token based authorization. The token needs
+to be added in the request using a header 'X-Auth-Token' for access to the database.
+
+e.g::
+
+ headers['X-Auth-Token']
+
+The value of the header i.e the token can be accessed in the jenkins environment variable
+*TestApiToken*. The token value is added as a masked password.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ headers['X-Auth-Token'] = os.environ.get('TestApiToken')
+
+The above example is in Python. Token based authentication has been added so
+that only CI pods running Jenkins jobs can access the database. Please note
+that currently token authorization is implemented but is not yet enabled.
