jay vyas resolved BIGTOP-996.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Good point, sorry i was broadening the JIRA unnecessarily. Resolved... 

If we just want to run tests, I think the README.md file is sufficient: 

https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/README.md

Currently, our readme has a good explanation of (1) how to not only run tests,  but (2) also how to edit them manually, and (3) how to configure and run them. 

And once BIGTOP-1222 comes around, customizing and modifying the tests will simply be done by following the comments in the build.gradle file :)

> I argue that a major part of becoming a contributor for Bigtop is a learning curve in how to use all the mechanics of the trade. I see this times and again.
> We need to have a HOWTO.txt document that would have a trivial description of the needed steps. Something like:
> sudo jenkins
> clone Bigtop repo
> mvn install top pom.xml
> mvn install itest 
> set HADOOP_CONF_DIR, HADOOP_HOME, HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME
> mvn install test-artifacts top pom.xml
> mvn install test-execution top pom.xml
> mvn -Dorg.apache.bigtop.itest.log4j.level=TRACE -f bigtop-tests/test-execution/smokes/hadoop/pom.xml verify
> That might be sufficient.
