+VSTF Testsuite Guide
+********************
+
+VSTF Introduction
+====================
+VSTF(Virtual Switch Test Framework) is a system-level testing framework in the
+area of network virtualization, and it could help you estimate the system switch
+ability and find out the network bottlenecks by main KPIs(bandwidth, latency,
+resource usage and so on), VSTF owns a methodology to define the test scenario and
+testcases, Now we could support Tu testcases in the Openstack environment, More
+scenarios and cases will be added.
+
+VSTF TestScenario
+-----------------
+1. Tu - VM to VM
+2. Tn - Physical Nic loopback
+3. TnV - VNF loopback
+4. Ti - VM to Physical Nic
+
+Pre-install Packages on the ubuntu 14.04 VM
+===========================================
+VSTF VM Preparation Steps
+-------------------------
+1. Create a ubuntu 14.04 VM
+2. Install dependency inside VM
+3. Install vstf python package inside VM
+
+VM preparation
+--------------
+Install python2.7 version and git
+
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get install python2.7
+ sudo apt-get install git
+
+Download Bottlenecks package
+
+::
+
+ sudo cd /home/
+ sudo git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/bottlenecks
+
+Install the dependency
+
+::
+
+ sudo apt-get install python-pip
+ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
+ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
+ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
+ sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
+ sudo apt-get install python-dev
+ sudo apt-get install python-testrepository
+ sudo apt-get install git
+ sudo apt-get install python-pika
+ sudo apt-get install python-oslo.config
+ sudo pip install -r /home/bottlenecks/vstf/requirements.txt
+
+Install vstf package
+
+::
+
+ sudo mkdir -p /var/log/vstf/
+ sudo cp -r /home/bottlenecks/vstf/etc/vstf/ /etc/
+ sudo mkdir -p /opt/vstf/
+ sudo cd /home/bottlenecks;sudo rm -rf build/
+ sudo python setup.py install
+
+Image on the Cloud
+------------------
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Name | vstf-image |
++===========+=============================================================+
+| URL | http://artifacts.opnfv.org/bottlenecks/vstf-manager-new.img |
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Format | QCOW2 |
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Size | 5G |
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| User | root |
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Passwd | root |
++-----------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+There is a complete vstf image on the cloud ,you could download it and use it to
+deploy and run cases ,but do not need VM preparation steps.
+
+
+How is VSTF Integrated into Installers
+========================================
+VM requirements
+---------------
++------------------+----------+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
+| Name | FLAVOR | IMAGE_NAME | NETWORK |
++==================+==========+====================+=====================================================+
+| vstf-manager | m1.large | vstf-image | control-plane=XX.XX.XX.XX |
++------------------+----------+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
+| vstf-tester | m1.large | vstf-image | control-plane(eth0)=XX.XX.XX.XX |
+| | | | test-plane(eth1)=XX.XX.XX.XX |
++------------------+----------+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
+| vstf-target | m1.large | vstf-image | control-plane(eth0)=XX.XX.XX.XX |
+| | | | test-plane(eth1)=XX.XX.XX.XX |
++------------------+----------+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
+m1.large means 4U4G for the target image Size 5GB
+For the network used by VMs,network need two plane ,one plane is control plane and the other plane is test plane.

+OPNFV community Usage in the CI system
+--------------------------------------
++---------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
+| Project Name | Project Categoty |
++=======================================+=======================================+

++---------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
+OPNFV community jenkins Project info
+
+Main Entrance for the ci test:
+
+::
+
+ cd /home/bottlenecks/ci;
+ bash -x vstf_run.sh
+
+Test on local(Openstack Environment)
+------------------------------------
+download the image file
+
+::
+
+ curl --connect-timeout 10 -o /tmp/vstf-manager.img \
+ http://artifacts.opnfv.org/bottlenecks/vstf-manager-new.img -v
+
+create the image file by the glance
+
+::
+
+ glance image-create --name $MANAGER_IMAGE_NAME \
+ --disk-format qcow2 \
+ --container-format bare \
+ --file /tmp/vstf-manager.img
+
+create the keypair for the image(anyone will be ok)
+
+::
+
+ cd /home/bottlenecks/utils/infra_setup/bottlenecks_key
+ nova keypair-add --pub_key $KEY_PATH/bottlenecks_key.pub $KEY_NAME
+
+create the vstf three VMs in the openstack by heat
+
+::
+
+ cd /home/bottlenecks/utils/infra_setup/heat_template/vstf_heat_template
+ heat stack-create vstf -f bottleneck_vstf.yaml
+
+launch the vstf process inside the vstf-manager vstf-tester vstf-target VMs
+
+::
+
+ cd /home/bottlenecks/utils/infra_setup/heat_template/vstf_heat_template
+ bash -x launch_vstf.sh
+
+edit the test scenario and test packet list in the vstf_test.sh, now support the Tu-1/2/3
+
+::
+
+ function fn_testing_scenario(){
+ ...
+ local test_length_list="64 128 256 512 1024"
+ local test_scenario_list="Tu-1 Tu-3"
+ ...
+ }
+
+launch the vstf script
+
+::
+
+ cd /home/bottlenecks/utils/infra_setup/heat_template/vstf_heat_template
+ bash -x vstf_test.sh
+
