The behavioral foundation evaluated in these tests should serve to provide +a functional baseline for VNF deployment and portability across NFVi instances. +All CVP tests are available in open source and are executed in open source test frameworks. + +Test case requirements +====================== + +The following requirements are mandatory for test to be submitted for consideration in the + CVP test suite: + +- All test cases must be fully documented, in a common format + + - Clearly identifying the test procedure and expected results / metrics to determine a “pass” or “fail” result. + +- Tests must be validated for purpose, tests should be run with both an expected positive and negative outcome. +- Tests should focus on functionality, not performance. + + - Performance test output could be built in as “for information only”, but must not carry pass/fail metrics. + +- Test cases should favor implementation of a published standard interface for validation + + - Where no standard is available provide API support references + - If a standard exists and is not followed, an exemption is required + +- Test cases must pass on OPNFV reference deployments + + - Tests must not require a specific NFVi platform composition or installation tool + + - Tests and test tools must run independently of the method of platform installation and architecture. + - Tests and tool must run independent of specific OPNFV components allowing different components such as storage backends or SDN controllers. + + - Tests must not require un-merged patches to the relevant upstream projects + - Tests must not require features or code which are out of scope for the latest release of the OPNFV project + +- Tests must run against a fully deployed and operational system under test. +- Tests and test tools must support stand alone OPNFV and commercial derived OPNFV based solution + + - There can be no dependency on OPNFV resources or infrastructure. + +- The following things must be documented for the test case: + + - Use case specification + - Test preconditions + - Basic test flow execution descriptor + - Post conditions and pass fail criteria + +- The following things may be documented for the test case: + + - Parameter border test cases descriptions + - Fault/Error test case descriptions + +New test case proposals should complete a CVP test case worksheet to ensure that all +of these considerations are met before the test case is approved for inclusion in the +CVP test suite. + +Dovetail Test Suite Naming Convention +===================================== + +Test case naming and structure for dovetail needs to be done, it should consider: + +- Identifying the test area +- Identifying the purpose of the test case + +To be discussed, agreed and amended to this document. + |
