+# Debian Package Installation Test
+
+This pipeline template tests the installation and functionality of the log4tc Debian package.
+
+## What it does
+
+1. **Sets up test environment** with Docker Compose:
+   - InfluxDB 1.8 container for log storage
+   - Debian Bookworm container for package installation testing
+
+2. **Installs log4tc** from the GitHub Pages APT repository:
+   - Adds the log4tc repository to apt sources
+   - Installs the `Mbc.Log4Tc.Service` package
+
+3. **Configures log4tc** to connect to InfluxDB:
+   - Creates appsettings.json with InfluxDB output configuration
+   - Deploys configuration to `/etc/log4tc/config/`
+
+4. **Validates the installation**:
+   - Starts the log4tc service
+   - Checks the internal log at `/var/log/log4tc/service.log`
+   - Verifies InfluxDB connectivity
+   - Checks for errors in the service log
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker and Docker Compose must be available on the build agent
+- The log4tc Debian repository must be accessible at https://mbc-engineering.github.io/log4tc/deb
+
+## Test Results
+
+Test logs are published as build artifacts under `debian-test-logs`, including:
+- `service.log` - The internal log4tc service log
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+This test environment can be extended to support:
+- End-to-end tests with TwinCAT Docker containers
+- Integration tests with actual PLC log messages
+- Performance and load testing
