1- Brief Project Overview (brief as it should be known)
NBI stands for NorthBound Interface. It brings to ONAP a set of APIs that can be used by external systems such BSS for example. These APIs are based on TMForum and MEF APIs
2- New component capabilities for Honolulu-R8, i.e. the functional enhancements, if applicable
There are no planned Enhancement features for Honolulu, minor bug fix only.
3- New or modified interfaces
None
4- If they are modified, are they backwards compatible?
Not applicable, no modifications
6- Interface naming (point to an example)

10- What are the system limits?
No known system limit. APIs by default do not have RBAC enabled
System Requirements documented here : https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-externalapi-nbi/en/latest/architecture/NBI_Developer_Guide.html
11- Involved use cases, architectural capabilities or functional requirements.
No new use case support planned for Honolulu release. External API had been used in CCVPN, BBS and 5G E2E Slicing usecases in previous releases.
12- Listing of new or impacted models used by the project (for information only).
- Models based on information exchanges from Use Cases
- Forward looking models that may be implemented in future releases
- Specification work for alignment between TMF 628 Performance Mgmt API enhancements per TMF/MEF for Datalake access with ONAP internal DES APIs.
- Forward looking models that may be implemented in future releases
- Describe how exposed APIs are mapped to information models
13-Test plan/Testing Strategy
- Unit Testing - Junits built into code base plus
- Dev-to-Dev Testing - wiremock
- Integration - Health check API includes consumed APIs from other components integration checks
14- Any other details that are specific to this functional enhancement or UseCase.
N/A minor clean up changes only
