+# systemd Suite
+
+This folder contains test scripts for validating `systemd` functionality on the platform. Particularly for **Qualcomm RB3Gen2** and platforms based on `meta-qcom` and `meta-qcom-distros`.  
+
+## Contents
+
+- **directory/**: Each directory contains individual test script run.sh for specific `systemd` features.
+- **README.md**: This documentation file.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Ensure all dependencies are installed as specified in the root documentation.
+2. Run the suite using run-test.sh in root directory Runner/:
+    ```
+    ./run-test.sh <directory-name>
+    for e.g. ./run-test.sh systemdPID
+    ```
+3. Review the test results stored in file named <directory-name.res> in respective directory.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The `systemd` suite helps maintain reliability by ensuring that service management and related features work as expected on QCOM platforms.
+
+These scripts focus on
+- Validate systemctl commands
+- Check failed services
+- Basic systemd validation

+# checkFailedServices Validation Test
+
+## Overview
+
+This test script checks if any mandatory service is not failed on the device. It is intended for use on platforms running systemd and is part of the Qualcomm Linux Testkit.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Ensure the testkit environment is set up and the board has systemd as init manager.
+2. Make the script executable if not already so:
+   ```sh
+   chmod +x run.sh
+   ```
+3. Run the test:
+   ```sh
+   ./run.sh
+   ```
+4. Check the result:
+   - If the test passes, `checkFailedServices.res` will contain `checkFailedServices PASS`.
+   - If the test fails, `checkFailedServices.res` will contain `checkFailedServices FAIL` and the failed services will be logged.
+
+## Integration
+
+This test can be invoked by the top-level runner as:
+```sh
+cd Runner
+./run-test.sh checkFailedServices
+```
+The `.res` file can be parsed by CI/LAVA to determine the overall test status.
+
+## Result Format
+
+- **PASS**: All monitored services are present and not in failed state.
+- **FAIL**: List of failed or missing monitored services.
+
+The result is written to `checkFailedServices.res` in the same directory.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **systemctl**: Must be available and functional (systemd-based system).
+- **POSIX shell**: Script is written for `/bin/sh`.
+
+## Logging
+
+- Uses `log_info`, `log_pass`, and `log_fail` from `functestlib.sh` for standardized output.

+# systemctlStartStop
+
+## Overview
+
+This script tests the ability to stop and start the `systemd-user-sessions.service` using `systemctl`. It is intended for use on platforms running systemd and is part of the Qualcomm Linux Testkit.
+
+## How It Works
+
+- The script robustly locates and sources the `init_env` environment setup file.
+- It sources `functestlib.sh` for logging and utility functions.
+- It checks if `systemd-user-sessions.service` is active.
+- It attempts to stop the service and verifies it is stopped.
+- It then starts the service again and verifies it is running.
+- Results are logged and written to `systemctlStartStop.res`.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Ensure the testkit environment is set up and the board is running systemd.
+2. Make the script executable if not already so:
+   ```sh
+   chmod +x run.sh
+   ```
+3. Run the test(requires sudo access):
+   ```sh
+   ./run.sh
+   ```
+4. Check the result in `systemctlStartStop.res`:
+   - `systemctlStartStop PASS` if the service was stopped and started successfully.
+   - `systemctlStartStop FAIL` if any step failed.
+
+## Integration
+
+This test can be invoked by the top-level runner as:
+```sh
+cd Runner
+./run-test.sh systemctlStartStop
+```
+The `.res` file will be parsed by CI/LAVA to determine the overall test status.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `systemctl` (systemd-based system)
+- POSIX shell (`/bin/sh`)
+- `init_env` and `functestlib.sh` from the testkit
+
+## Logging
+
+- Uses `log_info`, `log_pass`, and `log_fail` from `functestlib.sh` for standardized output.

+# systemdPID
+
+## Overview
+
+This script verifies that the `systemd` process is running as PID 1 on the device. It is intended for use on platforms running systemd and is part of the Qualcomm Linux Testkit.
+
+## How It Works
+
+- The script robustly locates and sources the `init_env` environment setup file.
+- It sources `functestlib.sh` for logging and utility functions.
+- It checks if the process with PID 1 is `systemd` using `ps`.
+- If `systemd` is PID 1, the test passes; otherwise, it fails.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Ensure the testkit environment is set up and the board is having systemd as init manager.
+2. Make the script executable if not already so:
+   ```sh
+   chmod +x run.sh
+   ```
+3. Run the test:
+   ```sh
+   ./run.sh
+   ```
+4. Check the result in `systemdPID.res`:
+   - `systemdPID PASS` if `systemd` is PID 1.
+   - `systemdPID FAIL` if not.
+
+## Integration
+
+This test can be invoked by the top-level runner as:
+```sh
+cd Runner
+./run-test.sh systemdPID
+```
+The `.res` file can be parsed by CI/LAVA to determine the overall test status.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `ps`
+- POSIX shell (`/bin/sh`)
+- `init_env` and `functestlib.sh` from the testkit
+
+## Logging
+
+- Uses `log_info`, `log_pass`, and `log_fail` from `functestlib.sh` for standardized output.
