+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document provides guidance for testers on how to obtain OPNFV compliance
+certification. The OPNFV Compliance Verification Program (CVP) is administered by
+the OPNFV Compliance and Certification (C&C) committee.
+
+For further information about the workflow and general inquiries about the
+program, please check out the CVP web portal https://cvp.opnfv.org, or contact
+the C&C committee by email address cvp@opnfv.org. This email address should be used
+for all communication with the CVP.
+
+Step 1: Applying
+================
+
+A tester should start the process by completing an application.
+The application form can found on the CVP portal and the following
+information should be provided:
+
+ - Organization name
+ - Organization website (if public)
+ - Product name and/or identifier
+ - Product specifications
+ - Product public documentation
+ - Product categories, choose one: (i) software and hardware (ii) software
+ and third party hardware (please specify)
+ - Primary contact name, business email, postal address and phone number
+ Only the primary email address should be used for
+ official communication with OPNFV CVP.
+ - User ID for CVP web portal
+ The CVP web portal supports (i) Linux Foundation user ID, and (ii) Openstack user
+ ID, in the current release. Specify either one as user ID for the CVP web portal.
+ If a new user ID is needed, visit https://identity.linuxfoundation.org, or
+ https://www.openstack.org/join/register.
+ - Location where the verification testing is to be conducted. Choose one:
+ (internal vendor lab, third-party lab)
+ - If the test is to be conducted by a third-party lab, please specify
+ name and contact information of the third-party lab, including email, address and
+ phone number.
+
+Please email the completed application using the primary contact email
+account in order to establish identity.
+
+Once the application information is received and in order, an email response will be
+sent to the primary contact with confirmation and information to proceed.
+
+[Editor's note:
+No fee has been established at this time for CVP applications. Recommend
+we skip fee for the initial release of CVP.]
+
+Step 2: Testing
+===============
+
+The following documents guide testers to prepare the test environment and run tests:
+
+ - System Requirements and Preparation Guide for OPNFV CVP [2]
+ - OPNFV CVP Test Case Specifications [3]
+ - Dovetail Test Tool User Guide [4]
+
+[Editor's note: The above three documents are still work in progress. Names and
+references will be corrected when they are merged.]
+
+A unique Test ID is generated by the Dovetail tool for each test run. Please take a note
+of this ID for future reference.
+
+Step 3: Submitting Test Results
+===============================
+
+Testers can upload the test results to the CVP web portal https://cvp.opnfv.org.
+By default, the results are visible only to the tester who uploaded the data.
+
+Testers can self-review the test results through the portal until they are ready to ask
+for CVP review. They may also update with or add new test results as needed.
+
+Once the tester is satisfied with the test result, the tester grants access to the test result
+for CVP review via the portal. The test result is identified by the unique Test ID.
+
+When a test result is made visible to the reviewers, the web portal will notify
+cvp@opnfv.org and Cc the primary contact email that a review request has been made and reference
+the Test ID. This will alert the C&C Committee to start the CVP review process.
+
+Step 4: CVP Review
+===================
+
+Upon receiving the email notification and the Test ID, the C&C Committee conducts a
+peer based review of the test result. Persons employed by the same organization that submitted
+the test results or by affiliated organizations will not be part of the reviewers.
+
+The primary contact may be asked via email for any missing information or
+clarification of the application. The reviewers will make a determination and recommend
+compliance or non-compliance to
+the C&C Committee. Normally, the outcome of the review should be communicated
+to the tester within 10 business days after all required information is in order.
+
+If an application is denied, an appeal can be made to the C&C Committee or ultimately to the
+Board of Directors of OPNFV.
+
+Step 5: Grant of Use of Logo
+============================
+
+If an application is approved, further information will be communicated to the tester
+on the guidelines of using OPNFV CVP logos and the status of compliance for promotional purposes.
