+Summary
+^^^^^^^
+
+The Test Transaction feature provides a mechanism by which the health of drools policy controllers can be tested.
+
+When enabled, the feature functions by injecting an event object (identified by a UUID) into the drools session of each policy controller that is active in the system. Only an object with this UUID can trigger the Test Transaction-specific drools logic to execute.
+
+The injection of the event triggers the "TT" rule (see *TestTransactionTemplate.drl* below) to fire. The "TT" rule simply increments a ForwardProgress counter object, thereby confirming that the drools session for this particular controller is active and firing its rules accordingly. This cycle repeats at 20 second intervals.
+
+If it is ever the case that a drools controller does not have the "TT" rule present in its *.drl*, or that the forward progress counter is not incremented, the Test Transaction thread for that particular drools session (i.e. controller) is terminated and a message is logged to *error.log*.
+
+Usage
+^^^^^
+
+Prior to being enabled, the following drools rules need to be appended to the rules templates of any use-case that is to be monitored by the feature.

+Once the proper artifacts are built and deployed with the addition of the TestTransactionTemplate rules, the feature can then be enabled by entering the following commands:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+ :caption: PDPD Features Command
+
+ policy@hyperion-4:/opt/app/policy$ policy stop
+ [drools-pdp-controllers]
+ L []: Stopping Policy Management... Policy Management (pid=354) is stopping... Policy Management has stopped.
+ policy@hyperion-4:/opt/app/policy$ features enable test-transaction
+ name version status
+ ---- ------- ------
+ controlloop-utils 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+ healthcheck 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+ test-transaction 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT enabled
+ eelf 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+ state-management 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+ active-standby-management 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+ session-persistence 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT disabled
+
+The output of the enable command will indicate whether or not the feature was enabled successfully.
+
+Policy engine can then be started as usual.
