+
+## 7. Breaking changes
+
+N/A
+
+## 8. Testing notes
+
+1. It is recommended that all Mojaloop deployments are verified using the [Mojaloop Testing Toolkit](https://docs.mojaloop.io/documentation/mojaloop-technical-overview/ml-testing-toolkit/). More information can be found in the [Mojaloop Deployment Guide](https://docs.mojaloop.io/documentation/deployment-guide).
+
+2. The [testing-toolkit-test-cases](https://github.com/mojaloop/testing-toolkit-test-cases/releases/tag/v13.0.0)' Golden Path collections expects:
+	-  the Quoting service operating mode to be set [quoting-service.config.simple_routing_mode_enabled](https://github.com/mojaloop/helm/blob/v13.0.0/mojaloop/values.yaml#L4664)=true. If this is incorrectly configured, it will result in several failures in the quoting-service tests (7 expected failures). If this is disabled, ensure that you update the corresponding test-case environment variable parameter [SIMPLE_ROUTING_MODE_ENABLED](https://github.com/mojaloop/helm/blob/v13.0.0/mojaloop/values.yaml#L7420) to match.
+	- the [on-us transfers](https://github.com/mojaloop/helm/blob/v13.0.0/mojaloop/values.yaml#L321) configuration to be disabled. The test-case environment variable parameter ([ON_US_TRANSFERS_ENABLED](https://github.com/mojaloop/helm/blob/v13.0.0/mojaloop/values.yaml#L7423), the same name used on postman collections) must similarly match this value.
+
+3. Simulators 
+	- [Mojaloop-Simulator](https://github.com/mojaloop/mojaloop-simulator) is enabled by default (six instances used). 
+	- Ensure that correct Postman Scripts are used if you wish to test against the Mojaloop-Simulators:
+    	- Setup Mojaloop Hub: [MojaloopHub_Setup](https://github.com/mojaloop/postman/blob/v12.0.0/MojaloopHub_Setup.postman_collection.json)
+    	- Setup Mojaloop Simulators for testing : [MojaloopSims_Onboarding](https://github.com/mojaloop/postman/blob/v12.0.0/MojaloopSims_Onboarding.postman_collection.json)
+    	- Golden path tests: [Golden_Path_Mojaloop](https://github.com/mojaloop/postman/blob/v12.0.0/Golden_Path_Mojaloop.postman_collection.json)
+	- Legacy Simulators are still required and deployed by default; disabling this will cause issues since there is Account Lookup directory mocking functionality in this service.
+
+3. This release has been tested against the following:
+	- Kubernetes: v1.20.6
+	- Nginx Ingress Controllers: 0.43.0
+	- Testing Toolkit Test Cases: [v13.0.1](https://github.com/mojaloop/testing-toolkit-test-cases/releases/tag/v13.0.1)
+
+## 9. Known Issues
+
+1. [#2119 - Idempotency for duplicate quote request](https://github.com/mojaloop/project/issues/2119)
+2. [#2322 - Helm install failing with with "medium to large" release names](https://github.com/mojaloop/project/issues/2322)
