+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]`_

+
+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.
+
+
+Test Api
+--------
+
+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.

+
+
+Overview:
+=========
+
+
+This project aims to create an Open Source catalog for reference and
+classification of Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)s available on
+Internet. The classification method proposed will be in sync with the
+requirements of Telcos active in NFV landscape. The project aims to have
+running web platform similar to [1] by the mid of internship (2nd week
+of March). By the penultimate month of internship I aim to have fully
+functional implementation of an Open Source VNF in functest.
+
+
+Problem Statement:
+------------------
+
+OPNFV aims to be the reference platform for development,
+standardization and integration of Open Source NFV components across
+various Open Source Platforms. It mainly deals with the infrastructure
+through the Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) and
+Virtual Infrastructure manager (VIM). The MANO (Management and
+orchestration) stacks have been introduced recently. VNFs are not
+directly in OPNFV scope, however VNFs are needed to test and qualify the
+infrastructure. In this regard having a common curated Open Source
+Reference VNF catalog would be of immense importance to community.
+
+Since major focus of OPNFV is Telcos, a curated platform targeted from
+industry point of view would be very useful. We plan to divide the
+entire project into three major phases(with some iterative improvements
+and overlaps)
+
+
+Curation Phase
+--------------
+This phase pertains to studying various Open Source VNFs available and
+classification of them based on certain parameters. The parameters that
+I currently have in mind are:
+ * Developer Metrics: These pertain to repo characteristics of VNF under
+ study
+  * Usage Statistics - Activity, Number of Commits, stars
+  * Maturity Statistics - For instance if an NFV community decides code
+  coverage is important for them, it shows the NFV community is serious
+  about taking the project forward
+ * Technical Tagging: These are the tags that pertain to technical
+ characteristics of a VNF
+  * Broad Use Cases - Whether the VNF fits strictly in IaaS, PaaS or
+  SaaS layer or is an hybrid of two/all.
+  * Generic Use Cases - This in my opinion is the broadest
+  classification category. For instance a VNF could be built with a
+  broad idea of powering IOT devices at home or from usage perspective
+  of Telco Operators (vFW, vEPC, vIMS, vCDN, vAAA, vCPE,...).`[2]`_
+  * Fields of Application
+  * Library Status - Whether APIs are standardized, support RESTful
+  services.
+  * Dependency Forwarding Graph - This is pretty complex tagging
+  mechanism. It essentially tries to establish a graph relationship
+  between the VNFs (elementary VNFs are used in Service Function
+  Chaining chains such as Firewall, DPI, content enrichment,..). In my
+  opinion this is useful immensely. This will allow users to go to
+  platform and ask a question like - “I have this X tech stack to
+  support, Y and Z are my use cases, which NFVs should I use to support
+  this.
+  * Visitor Score - Based on `[1]`_ I plan to evolve a visitor score for
+  the platform. This will allow users to score an NFV on certain
+  parameters, may be post comments.
+
+**I plan to use the above three scores and evolve cumulative score which
+will be displayed next to each of the NFV on the platform.**
+
+ * Platform building phase - This will involve erecting a Web Platform
+ which will be similar to this  `[1]`_. I am decently familiar with
+ Django and hence I will write the platform in Django. There are two
+ action plans that I have in mind right now. Either I can start writing
+ the platform simultaneously which will help keep track of my progress
+ or I can write the platform after 1.5 - 2 months into the internship.
+ Either way I aim to have the Web Platform ready by March 12.
+
+ * Functest VNF implementation phase - This is the last phase that will
+ involve writing a fully functional implementation of an Open Source VNF
+ into Functest. I will undertake this after I am 3 months into the
+ internship. I have a decent familiarity with python and hence I think
+ it shouldn’t be too difficult. I need to decide how complex the VNFI
+ should undertake this exercise for (e.g. AAA such as free radius sounds
+ relatively easy, vCDN is much more challenging).
+ This will be decided in consent with my mentors.
+
+
+
+
+Schedule:
+=========
+I plan to take this project in 6 months time frame as I want to use it
+as a chance to read more about NFVs in particular and SDN in general
+
