+# Functest Gates

+### Why gating?
+
+- maintain an overall high quality code whatever the skills involved in our
+open community
+- detect the errors as soon as possible (before merge operations)
+- verify automatically most of Functest milestones
+
+
+### Today's Verify -1
+
+- one error is detected by yamllint, pylint or doc8
+- one unit test fails (py27 and py35)
+- our Framework is not fully covered
+- specific modules are not rated 10/10 by pylint
+- unix permissions are wrong
+- one doc cannot be generated without warning
+
+Please see [tox.ini](https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/tox.ini) for details
+
+
+### Gambia's Verify -1
+
+- enforce an overall 10/10 by pylint
+- check the full coverage of all third-party interfaces
+- integrate other linters like ShellScript (if they meet tox basics)
+
+Please see
+[Gambia Challenges](http://testresults.opnfv.org/functest/gambiachallenges/)
+for details
+
+
+### Great! But
+
+- the current gate checks all coding rules, our Framework and all interfaces
+to third-parties but **not our testcases**
+- it doesn't break **the circular dependencies** between Installers and
+Functest (Installers ask for a trustable healthcheck but we need results of
+"Installer runs" as prerequisites)
+
+Our testcases have still **to be verified by hand** what differs from
+OpenStack Workflow
+
+
+
+### functional gating
+
+- we need to run all Functest patches before merge against reference
+plateforms (OpenStack and Kubernetes)
+- a voting job must forbid the merge if one test fails (as the workflow
+process implemented by OpenStack)
+
+
+### reference platform
+
+- it could be baremetal or virtual if all testcases (including all VNFs) can
+be tested successfully
+- any compliant Installer could be selected as long as the appropriate target
+VIM version is proposed at the beginning of the release:
+  - devstack (OpenStack gates)
+  - kolla-ansible (Orange ONAP OpenLab)
+  - XCI
+  - APEX
+
+
+### Verify +2
+
+Only the functional check will take hours once the patchset is accepted
+by core reviewers (each patchset will be verified in ~10 minutes).
+
+**Always stable!**
+
