+:Test ID: detection_fail_VM_01
+:Test Title: Detection of failed virtual machine
+:Tags: performance
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Testcase Objective
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The objective of this test is to verify how much time is cosumed StarlingX to
+detect when a Virtual Machine has failed.
+
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Test Pre-Conditions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The StarlingX configuration deployed for this is the Standard Controller
+(2 controllers + 2 computes) in order to review the behavior in a multinode
+environment.
+
+
+~~~~~~~~~~
+Test Steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Launch a VM with the features described below, this section includes an
+script which could help to do that (Another alternative is to use the
+OpenStack dashboard).
+
+::
+
+    | Feature    | Description            |
+    |------------|------------------------|
+    | RAM        | 2GB                    |
+    | Disk       | 20GB                   |
+    | VCPUS      | 1                      |
+    | Properties | hw:mem_page_size=large |
+    | Image      | [Debian]               |
+
+* Detect the compute where that VM was deployed and kill the QEMU process,
+  immediately after this, the initial time must be taken.
+* Make a constant of pull request of the VM status and stop the test when it
+  changes.
+* Finally take the end time and calculate the delta.
+
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Expected Behavior
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Result being around 500ms

+=================
+PERFORMANCE TESTS
+=================
+
+The proposed test cases create a set of scripts and documentation under the
+starlingx testing repository (https://opendev.org/starlingx/test) that anyone
+can use to measure the metric they need under their hardware and software
+environment.
