Functest deals with functional testing of the OPNFV solution.
It includes test cases developed within the project, test cases developed in

Version change
==============
-Functest now delivers light-weigth Docker images based on Alpine 3.7. The test cases are grouped into several categories
-or tiers and must be run from the corresponding container. For example, to run the test case healthcheck, the image
-opnfv/functest-healthcheck shall be used. The tiers and the tests within them are explained in detail in the User Guide.

The former Ubuntu image is not longer maintained.

-The Docker images do not contain OS images (Cirros, Ubuntu, Centos, ..) anymore. A script has been created under the
-ci directory (download_images.sh) which contains all the needed images for all the tests. This file can be modified by
-the user since not all the images might be used. It must be executed before starting Functest and attach the needed
-images as a Docker volume. See Configuration Guide for more information.

The requirements have been split into 3 files:
* requirements.txt : lists all abstract dependencies of the OPNFV packages
- * test-requirements.txt : lists all abstract dependencies required by Functest Unit Tests
- * upper-constraints.txt : lists all concrete upstream dependencies required by Functest Docker container
-
-OPNFV (test-)requirements.txt have been updated according to stable/ocata global-requirements.txt.
-Functest uses (and completes) stable/ocata upper-constraints.txt in Dockerfiles and tox configuration.
-The project relies on pbr, which injects requirements into the install_requires, tests_require and/or dependency_links
-arguments to setup. It also supports conditional dependencies which can be added to the requirements (e.g. dnspython>=1.14.0;python_version=='2.7')
-
-The way to manage logging has been centralized to a configuration file (logging.ini) which might be modified by the user.
-By default, the output of executing the test cases is redirected to log files and is not displayed on the console, only result
-messages and summary tables are displayed.
-
-The framework has been refactored and all the test cases inherit from a core class TestCase. For Feature projects who develop
-test cases, 2 sub-classes have been created:
- - Feature: it implements all the needed functions and the developer must only overwrite the method "execute" (e.g. Barometer)
- - BashFeature: it is used if the third party test case is a shell script. This way, the execution command must be specified in
- testcases.yaml as the argument (e.g. Domino, Doctor)
-
-An internal REST API has been introduced in Euphrates. The goal is to trigger Functest operations through an API in addition of the CLI.
-This could be considered as a first step towards a pseudo micro services approach where the different test projects could expose and
-consume APIs to the other test projects.
