Conform with LFN doc rules
It hugely hacks docs to move away from submodules. https://docs.opnfv.org/en/latest/how-to-use-docs/local-build-transition.html It removes intern reports which can't be integrated in this new model. All wrong links now deteted are updated. Change-Id: I9dbebeed041d2e104e3b8e73483f656ba0ef5bb9 Signed-off-by: Aric Gardner <agardner@linuxfoundation.org>

-TestAPI evolution
-=================
-
-Author: Sakala Venkata Krishna Rohit
-Mentors: S. Feng, J.Lausuch, M.Richomme
-
-Abstract
-========
-
-The TestAPI is used by all the test opnfv projects to report results.
-It is also used to declare projects, test cases and labs. A major refactoring
-has been done in Colorado with the introduction of swagger. The TestAPI is defined in Functest
-developer guide. The purpose of this project is to add more features to the TestAPI that automate
-the tasks that are done manually now, though there are tasks other than automation.

-
-Overview:
-=========
-
-The internhip time period was from Nov 14th to Feb 17th. The project prosposal page is here `[1]`_.
-The intern project was assigned to Svk Rohit and was mentored by S. Feng, J.Lausuch, M.Richomme.
-The link to the patches submitted is `[2]`_. The internship was successfully completed and the
-documentation is as follows.
-
-Problem Statement:
-------------------
-
-The problem statement could be divided into pending features that needed to be added into TestAPI
-repo. The following were to be accomplished within the internship time frame.
-
-* **Add verification jenkins job for the TestAPI code**
- The purpose of this job is to verify whehter the unit tests are successful or not with the
- inclusion of the patchset submitted.
-
-* **Automatic update of opnfv/testapi docker image**
- The docker image of TestAPI is hosted in the opnfv docker hub. To ensure that the TestAPI image
- is always updated with the repository, automatic updation of the image is necessary and a job
- is triggered whenever a new patch gets merged.
-
-* **Automation deployment of testresults.opnfv.org/test/ website**
- In the same manner as the docker image of TestAPI is updated, the TestAPI website needs to be
- in sync with the repository code. So, a job has been added to the opnfv jenkins ci for the
- updation of the testresults website.
-
-* **Generate static documentation of TestAPI calls**
- The purpose of this is to give an static/offline view of TestAPI. If someone wants to have a
- look at the Restful APIs of TestAPI, he/she does't need to go to the website, he can download
- a html page and view it anytime.
-
-* **Backup MongoDB of TestAPI**
- The mongoDB needs to be backed up every week. Till now it was done manually, but due to this
- internship, it is now automated using a jenkins job.
-
-* **Add token based authorization to the TestAPI calls**
- The token based authorization was implemented to ensure that only ci_pods could access the
- database. Authentication has been added to only delete/put/post requests.
-
-Curation Phase:
----------------
-
-The curation phase was the first 3 to 4 weeks of the internship. This phase was to get familiar
-with the TestAPI code and functionality and propose the solutions/tools for the tasks mentioned
-above. Swagger codegen was choosen out of the four tools proposed `[3]`_ for generating static
-documentaion.
-
-Also, specific amount of time was spent on the script flow of the jenkins jobs. The automatic
-deployment task involves accessing a remote server from inside the jenkins build. The deployment
-had to be done only after the docker image update is done. For these constraints to satisfy, a
-multijob jenkins job was choosen instead of a freestyle job.
-
-Important Links:
-----------------
-
-* MongoDB Backup Link - `[4]`_
-* Static Documentation - `[5]`_
-* TestAPI Token addition to ci_pods - `[6]`_

-Schedule:

-
-The progress and completion of the tasks is described in the below table.

-FAQ's
-=====
-
-This section lists the problems that I have faced and the understanding that I have acquired during
-the internship. This section may help other developers in solving any errors casused because of the
-code written as a part of this internship.
-
-
-TestAPI
--------
-
-What is the difference between defining data_file as "/etc/.." and "etc/.." in setup.cfg ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If in the setup.cfg, it is defined as
-
-[files]
-data_files =
-etc/a.conf = etc/a.conf.sample
-
-then it ends up installed in the /usr/etc/. With this configuration, it would be installed
-correctly within a venv. but when it is defined as
-
-[files]
-data_files =
-/etc/a.conf = etc/a.conf.sample
-
-then it ends up installed on the root of the filesystem instead of properly be installed within the
-venv.
-
-Which attribute does swagger-codegen uses as the title in the generation of document generation ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-It uses the nickname of the api call in swagger as the title in the generation of the document
-generation.
-
-Does swagger-codegen take more than one yaml file as input ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-No, swagger-codegen only takes one yaml file as input to its jar file. If there more than one yaml
-file, one needs to merge them and give it as an input keeping mind the swagger specs.
-
-
-Jenkins & JJB
--------------
-
-Which scm macro is used for verification jenkins jobs ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-There are two macros for scm one is git-scm and other git-scm-gerrit. git-scm-gerrit is used for
-verification jenkins job.
-
-Does the virtualenv created in one build script exists in other build scripts too ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-No, the virtualenv created in one build script only exists in that build script/shell.
-
-What parameters are needed for the scm macros ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Project and Branch are the two parameters needed for scm macros.
-
-What is the directory inside the jenkins build ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The directory of the jenkins build is the directory of the repo. `ls $WORKSPACE` command will give
-you all the contents of the directory.
-
-How to include a bash script in jenkins job yaml file ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-An example might be apt here as an answer.
-
-builders:
- - shell:
- !include-raw: include-raw001-hello-world.sh
-
-
-How do you make a build server run on a specific machine ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-It can be done by defining a label parameter 'SLAVE_LABEL' or in OPNFV , there are macros for each
-server, one can use those parameter macros.
-Ex: opnfv-build-defaults. Note, if we use macro, then no need to define GIT_BASE, but if one uses
-SLAVE_LABEL, one needs to define a parameter GIT_BASE. This is because macro already has GIT_BASE
-defined.
-
-What job style should be used when there is a situation like one build should trigger other builds
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-or when different build scripts need to be run on different machines ?
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-MultiJob style should be used as it has phases where each phase can be taken as a build scipt and
-can have its own parameters by which one can define the SLAVE_LABEL parameter.
