+# 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 for any failed systemd services 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**: No failed services detected.
+- **FAIL**: One or more services are in a failed state.
+
+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.
