+
+#### Quick Start Guide
+* Place the car file in `artifacts/deployment/server/carbonapps/` directory.
+
+* A sample scenario test suite implemented using Testng is in `test/sample-scenario-tests` directory. Which run a 
+simple test to validate response code of a rest endpoint. Use following command to run the test,
+```
+mvn test -Dendpoint=<ENDPOINT>
+```
+Implement a new scenario test for the new car 
+
+* Configure this repository as the artifacts repository in the Jenkins CICD pipeline
