+Functional testing Installation
+===============================
+
+Pull the Functest Docker image from the Docker hub::
+
+ $ docker pull opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0
+
+
+Check that the image is available::
+
+ $ docker images
+
+Run the docker container giving the environment variables::
+
+ - INSTALLER_TYPE. Possible values are "apex", "compass", "fuel" or "joid".
+ - INSTALLER_IP. each installer has its installation strategy.
+
+Functest may need to know the IP of the installer to retrieve the credentials
+(e.g. usually "10.20.0.2" for fuel, not neede for joid...).
+
+The minimum command to create the Functest docker file can be described as
+follows::
+
+ docker run -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
+
+Optionally, it is possible to precise the container name through the option
+--name::
+
+ docker run --name "CONTAINER_NAME" -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
+
+It is also possible to to indicate the path of the OpenStack creds using -v::

+
+The local file will be mounted in the container under
+/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds

+ testing), results (some temporary artifacts may be stored here)
+ * Repositories: the functest repository will be used to prepare the
+ environment, run the tests. Other repositories are used for the installation
+ of the tooling (e.g. rally) and/or the retrieval of feature projects

-Manual testing
-==============
-
-Once the Functest docker container is running and Functest environment ready
-(through /home/opnfv/repos/functest/docker/prepare_env.sh script), the system is
-ready to run the tests.
-
-The script run_tests.sh is located in $repos_dir/functest/docker and it has
-several options::
-
- ./run_tests.sh -h
- Script to trigger the tests automatically.
-
- usage:
- bash run_tests.sh [--offline] [-h|--help] [-t <test_name>]
-
- where:
- -h|--help show this help text
- -r|--report push results to database (false by default)
- -n|--no-clean do not clean up OpenStack resources after test run
- -t|--test run specific set of tests
- <test_name> one or more of the following: vping,vping_userdata,odl,rally,tempest,vims,onos,promise. Separated by comma.
-
- examples:
- run_tests.sh
- run_tests.sh --test vping,odl
- run_tests.sh -t tempest,rally --no-clean
-
-The -r option is used by the Continuous Integration in order to push the test
-results into a test collection database, see in next section for details.
-In manual mode, you must not use it, your try will be anyway probably rejected
-as your POD must be declared in the database to collect the data.
-
-The -n option is used for preserving all the existing OpenStack resources after
-execution test cases.
-
-The -t option can be used to specify the list of test you want to launch, by
-default Functest will try to launch all its test suites in the following order
-vPing, odl, Tempest, vIMS, Rally.
-You may launch only one single test by using -t <the test you want to launch>
-
-Within Tempest test suite you can define which test cases you want to execute in
-your environment by editing test_list.txt file before executing run_tests.sh
-script.
-
-Please note that Functest includes cleaning mechanism in order to remove
-everything except what was present after a fresh install.
-If you create your own VMs, tenants, networks etc. and then launch Functest,
-they all will be deleted after executing the tests. Use --no-clean option with
-run_test.sh in order to preserve all the existing resources.
-However, be aware that Tempest and Rally create of lot of resources (users,
-tenants, networks, volumes etc.) that are not always properly cleaned, so this
-cleaning function has been set to keep the system as clean as possible after a
-full Functest run.
-
-You may also add you own test by adding a section into the function run_test()
-
-
-Automated testing
-=================
-
-As mentioned in `[1]`, the prepare-env.sh and run_test.sh can be executed within
-the container from jenkins.
-2 jobs have been created, one to run all the test and one that allows testing
-test suite by test suite.
-You thus just have to launch the acurate jenkins job on the target lab, all the
-tests shall be automatically run.
-
-When the tests are automatically started from CI, a basic algorithm has been
-created in order to detect whether the test is runnable or not on the given
-scenario.
-In fact, one of the most challenging task in Brahmaputra consists in dealing
-with lots of scenario and installers.
-Functest test suites cannot be systematically run (e.g. run the ODL suite on an
-ONOS scenario).
-
-CI provides several information:
-
- * The installer (apex|compass|fuel|joid)
- * The scenario [controller]-[feature]-[mode] with
-
- * controller = (odl|onos|ocl|nosdn)
- * feature = (ovs(dpdk)|kvm)
- * mode = (ha|noha)
-
-Constraints per test case are defined in the Functest configuration file
-/home/opnfv/functest/config/config_functest.yaml::
-
- test-dependencies:
- functest:
- vims:
- scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
- vping:
- vping_userdata:
- scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
- tempest:
- rally:
- odl:
- scenario: 'odl'
- onos:
- scenario: 'onos'
- ....
-
-At the end of the Functest environment creation (prepare_env.sh see `[1]`_), a
-file (/home/opnfv/functest/conf/testcase-list.txt) is created with the list of
-all the runnable tests.
-We consider the static constraints as regex and compare them with the scenario.
-For instance, odl can be run only on scenario including odl in its name.
-
-The order of execution is also described in the Functest configuration file::
-
- test_exec_priority:
-
- 1: vping
- 2: vping_userdata
- 3: tempest
- 4: odl
- 5: onos
- 6: ovno
- #7: doctor
- 8: promise
- 9: odl-vpnservice
- 10: bgpvpn
- #11: openstack-neutron-bgpvpn-api-extension-tests
- 12: vims
- 13: rally
-
-The tests are executed as follow:
-
- * Basic scenario (vPing, vPing_userdata, Tempest)
- * Controller suites: ODL or ONOS or OpenContrail
- * Feature projects
- * vIMS
- * Rally (benchmark scenario)
-
-At the end of an automated execution, everything is cleaned.
-We keep only the users/networks that have been statically declared in '[9]'_

+Executing the functest suites
+=============================
+
+Manual testing
+--------------
+
+Once the Functest docker container is running and Functest environment ready
+(through /home/opnfv/repos/functest/docker/prepare_env.sh script), the system is
+ready to run the tests.
+
+The script *run_tests.sh* is located in $repos_dir/functest/docker and it has
+several options::
+
+ ./run_tests.sh -h
+ Script to trigger the tests automatically.
+
+ usage:
+ bash run_tests.sh [--offline] [-h|--help] [-t <test_name>]
+
+ where:
+ -h|--help show this help text
+ -r|--report push results to database (false by default)
+ -n|--no-clean do not clean up OpenStack resources after test run
+ -t|--test run specific set of tests
+ <test_name> one or more of the following: vping,vping_userdata,odl,rally,tempest,vims,onos,promise. Separated by comma.
+
+ examples:
+ run_tests.sh
+ run_tests.sh --test vping,odl
+ run_tests.sh -t tempest,rally --no-clean
+
+The *-r* option is used by the Continuous Integration in order to push the test
+results into a test collection database, see in next section for details.
+In manual mode, you must not use it, your try will be anyway probably rejected
+as your POD must be declared in the database to collect the data.
+
+The *-n* option is used for preserving all the existing OpenStack resources after
+execution test cases.
+
+The *-t* option can be used to specify the list of test you want to launch, by
+default Functest will try to launch all its test suites in the following order
+vPing, odl, Tempest, vIMS, Rally.
+You may launch only one single test by using *-t <the test you want to launch>*.
+
+Within Tempest test suite you can define which test cases you want to execute in
+your environment by editing test_list.txt file before executing *run_tests.sh*
+script.
+
+Please note that Functest includes cleaning mechanism in order to remove
+everything except what was present after a fresh install.
+If you create your own VMs, tenants, networks etc. and then launch Functest,
+they all will be deleted after executing the tests. Use the *--no-clean* option with
+run_test.sh in order to preserve all the existing resources.
+However, be aware that Tempest and Rally create of lot of resources (users,
+tenants, networks, volumes etc.) that are not always properly cleaned, so this
+cleaning function has been set to keep the system as clean as possible after a
+full Functest run.
+
+You may also add you own test by adding a section into the function run_test().
+
+
+Automated testing
+-----------------
+
+As mentioned in `[1]`, the *prepare-env.sh* and *run_test.sh* can be executed within
+the container from jenkins.
+2 jobs have been created, one to run all the test and one that allows testing
+test suite by test suite.
+You thus just have to launch the acurate jenkins job on the target lab, all the
+tests shall be automatically run.
+
+When the tests are automatically started from CI, a basic algorithm has been
+created in order to detect whether the test is runnable or not on the given
+scenario.
+In fact, one of the most challenging task in Brahmaputra consists in dealing
+with lots of scenario and installers.
+Functest test suites cannot be systematically run (e.g. run the ODL suite on an
+ONOS scenario).
+
+CI provides several information:
+
+ * The installer (apex|compass|fuel|joid)
+ * The scenario [controller]-[feature]-[mode] with
+
+ * controller = (odl|onos|ocl|nosdn)
+ * feature = (ovs(dpdk)|kvm)
+ * mode = (ha|noha)
+
+Constraints per test case are defined in the Functest configuration file
+/home/opnfv/functest/config/config_functest.yaml::
+
+ test-dependencies:
+ functest:
+ vims:
+ scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
+ vping:
+ vping_userdata:
+ scenario: '(ocl)|(odl)|(nosdn)'
+ tempest:
+ rally:
+ odl:
+ scenario: 'odl'
+ onos:
+ scenario: 'onos'
+ ....
+
+At the end of the Functest environment creation (prepare_env.sh see `[1]`_), a
+file (/home/opnfv/functest/conf/testcase-list.txt) is created with the list of
+all the runnable tests.
+We consider the static constraints as regex and compare them with the scenario.
+For instance, odl can be run only on scenario including odl in its name.
+
+The order of execution is also described in the Functest configuration file::
+
+ test_exec_priority:
+
+ 1: vping
+ 2: vping_userdata
+ 3: tempest
+ 4: odl
+ 5: onos
+ 6: ovno
+ 7: doctor
+ 8: promise
+ 9: odl-vpnservice
+ 10: bgpvpn
+ 11: openstack-neutron-bgpvpn-api-extension-tests
+ 12: vims
+ 13: rally
+
+The tests are executed as follow:
+
+ * Basic scenario (vPing, vPing_userdata, Tempest)
+ * Controller suites: ODL or ONOS or OpenContrail
+ * Feature projects
+ * vIMS
+ * Rally (benchmark scenario)
+
+At the end of an automated execution, everything is cleaned.
+We keep only the users/networks that have been statically declared in 'https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/functest/tree/testcases/VIM/OpenStack/CI/libraries/os_defaults.yaml'_
