The +following diagram illustrates this overall framework. + +/* here is a draft diagram that needs to be revised when exact information is known and fixed */ + +This section mainly focuses on helping the testers in the vendor's domain attempting to run the +CVP tests. + +Dovetail client tool (or just Dovetail tool or Dovetail for short) can be installed in the +jumphost either directly as Python software, or as a Docker(r) container. Comments of pros +and cons of the two options TBD. + +The section 'Installing the test tool'_ describes the steps the tester needs to take to install +Dovetail directly from the source. In 2.3, we describe steps needed for installing Dovetail +Docker(r) container. Once installed, and properly configured, the remaining test process is mostly +identical for the two options. In 2.4, we go over the steps of actually running the test suite. +In 2.5, we discuss how to view test results and make sense of them, for example, what the tester +may do in case of unexpected test failures. Section 2.6 describes additional Dovetail features +that are not absolutely necessary in CVP testing but users may find useful for other purposes. +One example is to run Dovetail for in-house testing as preparation before official CVP testing; +another example is to run Dovetail experimental test suites other than the CVP test suite. +Experimental tests may be made available by the community for experimenting less mature test +cases or functionalities for the purpose of getting feedbacks for improvement. + +Installing the test tool +======================== + +Before taking this step, testers should check the hardware and networking requirements of +the POD, and the jumphost in particular, to make sure they are compliant. + +In this section, we describe the procedure to install Dovetail client tool that runs the CVP +test suite from the jumphost. The jumphost must have network access to both the public Internet +and to the O&M (Operation and Management) network with access rights to all VIM APIs being tested. + +------------------------------- +Checking the Jumphost Readiness +------------------------------- + +While Dovetail does not have hard requirement on a specific operating system type or version, +these have been validated by the community through some level of exercise in OPNFV labs or PlugFests. + +Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial) for x86_64 +Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty) for x86_64 +CentOS-7-1611 for x86_64 +Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 for x86_64 +Fedora 24 Server for x86_64 +Fedora 25 Server for x86_64 + +------------------------------------ +Configuring the Jumphost Environment +------------------------------------ + +/* First, openstack env variables to be passed to Functest */ + +The jumphost needs to have the right environmental variable setting to enable access to the +Openstack API. This is usually done through the Openstack credential file. + +Sample Openstack credential file environment_config.sh: + +/*Project-level authentication scope (name or ID), recommend admin project.*/ + +export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin + +/* Authentication username, belongs to the project above, recommend admin user.*/ + +export OS_USERNAME=admin + + +/* Authentication password.*/ + +export OS_PASSWORD=secret + + +/* Authentication URL, one of the endpoints of keystone service.

In part2, an alternative +using a Docker image with preinstalled Dovetail is introduced. part1.

Installing Dovetail Docker Container + +The Dovetail project also maintains a Docker image that has Dovetail test tools preinstalled. + +Running CVP Test Suite +====================== + +------------------ +Running Test Suite +------------------ + +The Dovetail client CLI allows the tester to specify which test suite to run. +By default the results are stored in a local file $DOVETAIL_HOME/dovetail/results. + +% dovetail run --testsuite <test suite name> --openrc <path-to-openrc-file> /*?? */ + +Multiple test suites may be available, testsuites named "debug" and "proposed_tests" are just provided for testing. But for the purpose of running CVP test suite, the test suite name follows the following format, + +CVP.<major>.<minor>.<patch> /* test if this format works */ + +For example, CVP_1_0_0 + +% dovetail run --testsuite CVP_1_0_0 + +When the SUT's VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Manager) is Openstack, its configuration is commonly defined in the openrc file.

Refstack client to run Defcore testcases + +a) By default, for Defcore test cases run by Refstack-client, which are consumed by +DoveTail, are run followed with automatically generated configuration file, i.e., +refstack_tempest.conf. + +In some circumstances, the automatic configuration file may not quite satisfied with +the SUT, DoveTail provide a way for users to set its configuration file according +to its own SUT manually, + +besides, the users should define Defcore testcase file, i.e., defcore.txt, at the +same time.
