+Requirements
+------------
+
+None
+
+Role Variables
+--------------
+Variable required for all tasks to run:
+
+  For container_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    container_test_id
+    container_list
+      - list of containers to validate
+
+  For cred_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    cred_test_id
+    cred_list   
+      - list of credentials to validate
+
+  For endpoint_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    endpoint_test_id
+    endpoint_list   
+      - list of endpoints to validate
+
+  For file_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    file_test_id
+    file_list
+      - list of files to verify
+
+  For node_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    node_test_id
+    node_list  
+      - list of nodes to validate
+
+  For proj_test.yml tasks:
+
+    proj_test_id
+    proj_list   
+      - list of projects to validate
+
+  For pod_tests.yml tasks:
+
+    pod_test_id
+    pod_list
+      - list of pods to validate
+    pod_status_str 
+      - status of pods to check
+    pod_nspace
+      - list of projects where pods exist
+
+   For service_tests.yml tasks:
+
+     service_test_id
+     service_list  
+       - list of services to validate
+     service_nspace
+       - project where services are running
+    
+  For manifest_tests.yml tasks:
+
+     manifest_test_id
+     manifest_list  
+       - list of package manifests to validate
+
+  For subscription_tests.yml tasks: 
+
+     subscription_polar_id
+     subscription_list  
+       - list of subscriptions to validate

+
+None
+
+Example Playbook
+----------------
+
+Typically, for this role the tests should *not* use a "main.yml" and import or include all the tests in the role. On the contrary, a tests should explicitly include specific tests needed for a given job.
