+
+    <para>Enea Edge Automation has two components: Automation Framework and
+    Test Harness. It provides Python scripts using Enea Edge Management REST
+    API and Ansible Playbooks.</para>
+
+    <para>The Automation Framework component provides a Python unit-test suite
+    that runs automatically the test-cases defined for each Python
+    script.</para>
+
+    <para>It is recommended to use a different host for running the tests, in
+    order to allow external users to access and use the Enea Edge Management
+    application effectively.</para>
+
+    <para>The Test Harness component provides a way for driving configuration
+    with Ansible Playbooks, by running the Python modules from the Automation
+    Framework component and by direct connection over SSH to the boards that
+    run Enea Edge.</para>
+
+    <para>The Test Harness includes an automated test suite that
+    contains:</para>
