+
+OPNFV Danube Release
+====================
+
+The OPNFV Verified Program (OVP) allows vendors and operators to obtain 'OPNFV Verified'
+status based on an agreed upon set of compliance verification test cases that align to OPNFV
+releases. The reference System under Test (SUT) are the NFV components deployed by the OPNFV
+installers for a given release, where OVP 2018.01 is based on the Danube release. Participants
+of the program can verify commercial or open source offerings against an OVP release. This implies
+that the SUT used for verification has interfaces, components, functions and behaviors that align
+to OPNFV installer integrations.
+
+Dovetail is the overall framework used to execute tests and collect results for OVP. Dovetail does
+not deliver test content directly. Rather, test content is developed in other OPNFV test frameworks
+such as Functest and upstream test communities such as OpenStack's RefStack/Tempest projects.
+Dovetail leverages this upstream test content and provides a common set of test platform services
+for the OVP.
+
+Dovetail works in conjunction with a web portal interface dubbed the 'OVP web portal' to allow
+users to upload test results to a centralized community repository. This facilitates user
+collaboration, result sharing, self-testing and community reviews. It also serves as a hub for
+new participants to learn about the program and access key resources. The link for this portal
+is at:
+
+ * https://verified.opnfv.org
+
+Use of the OVP web portal is open to all and only requires a valid Linux Foundation or OpenStack
+ID to login. Users are welcome to use the portal to upload, inspect and share results in a private
+manner. In order to submit results for official review, the first step is apply for acceptance
+into the program with the participation form provided in the link:
+
+ * https://na3.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=e03e78d7-c32e-47d3-8292-350b747a0105
+
+Test Suites & Test Areas
+------------------------
+
+OVP/Dovetail groups test cases into test suites and test areas. Test suites are currently a basic
+categorization around releases for the most part. Executing the test suite 'ovp.1.0.0' without
+further specification will run all the test cases in the OVP 2018.01 release. Test suites are
+divided into test areas that can be executed separately.
+
+Test areas include a division into 'mandatory' and 'optional' in an overarching categorization.
+The mandatory test area is further subdivided into the following three test areas, which can
+be executed independently:
+
+ * osinterop
+ * vping
+ * ha
+
+The optional test area is further subdivided into the following three test areas:
+
+ * ipv6
+ * tempest
+ * sdnvpn
+
+All the mandatory test areas are required to be executed with passing results for all inclusive
+test cases for results to be reviewed and approved by the community made up of peer reviewers.
+The optional test areas are not required to be executed for the official compliance verification
+review in the OVP 2018.01 release. However, execution of these areas is encouraged, as some
+optional test areas may become mandatory in future releases.
+
+Test Cases and Sub Test Cases
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Each test area consists of multiple test cases where each test case can be a single test or
+broken down into sub test cases. A listing of test cases with the number of sub test cases noted
+in parenthesis is shown below for the OVP 2018.01 release.
+
+**Mandatory**

+Further details on test area breakdown with expanded test and sub test case names is available at:
+
+ * http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-danube/submodules/dovetail/docs/testing/developer/testscope/index.html
+
+OPNFV Test Projects and Components
+----------------------------------
+
+The OPNFV test frameworks integrated into the Dovetail framework that deliver test content are:
+
+ * Functest (leverages OpenStack RefStack/Tempest projects in addition to supplying native test cases)
+ * Yardstick
+
+Other upstream components integrated into the Dovetail framework are:
+
+ * TestAPI
+ * MongoDB
+
+The above components are part of the OPNFV test collection framework. Further information on how
+this framework is used to collect test results can be found at:
+
+ * http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-danube/submodules/functest/docs/testing/developer/devguide/#test-collection-framework
+
+The test frameworks and components above are packaged as Docker containers for Dovetail to employ.
+Dovetail creates OVP-specific containers for Functest and TestAPI, while it uses the default
+Yardstick Danube container. Additionally, a generic container version of MongoDB is used.
+Installation instructions for Dovetail and its dependent containers can be found in the user
+guide at:
+
+ * http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-danube/submodules/dovetail/docs/testing/user/userguide/testing_guide.html
+
+Acceptence and Marketing
+------------------------
+
+Upon successful community review of results for OVP 2018.01, the OPNFV C&C Committee on behalf of
+the Board of Directors can award a product 'OPNFV Verified' status. Use of 'OPNFV Verified'
+Program Marks shall be awarded to the platform used for compliance verification. The category label
+of 'Infrastructure' is used within the Program Marks logo and limits the scope of this OVP release
+to a SUT consisting of NFVI and VIM components using ETSI terminology. It does not provide
+compliance verification for specific VNFs in any fashion. The date '2018.01' corresponds to a
+reference SUT that aligns to the OPNFV Danube release and currently aligns to the Dovetail
+framework version 1.0.0.
+
+Organizations shall not use the Program Marks in any way that would associate it with any
+individual or company logo or brand, beyond the association to the specific platform to which it
+was awarded. While OpenStack RefStack interoperability and Tempest integration test cases are
+executed as part of the OVP 2018.01 compliance verification test suites, the OVP does not grant or
+award OpenStack Marks in any fashion. 'OPNFV Verified' status does not assert readiness for
+commercial deployment.

+details using the respective links:
