Some +of the tests are developed by Functest team members whereas others are integrated +from upstream communities or other OPNFV projects. For example, +`Tempest <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/tempest/overview.html>`_ is the +OpenStack integration test suite and Functest is in charge of the selection, +integration and automation of the tests that fit in OPNFV. + +The Tempest suite has been customized but no new test cases have been created. +Some OPNFV feature projects (e.g. SDNVPN) have written some Tempest tests cases +and pushed upstream to be used by Functest. + +The results produced by the tests run from CI are pushed and collected in a NoSQL +database. The goal is to populate the database with results from different sources +and scenarios and to show them on a Dashboard. + +There is no real notion of Test domain or Test coverage. Basic components +(VIM, controllers) are tested through their own suites. Feature projects also +provide their own test suites with different ways of running their tests. + +vIMS test case was integrated to demonstrate the capability to deploy a +relatively complex NFV scenario on top of the OPNFV infrastructure. + +Functest considers OPNFV as a black box. +OPNFV, since the Brahmaputra release, offers lots of potential combinations: + + * 3 controllers (OpenDayligh, ONOS, OpenContrail) + * 4 installers (Apex, Compass, Fuel, Joid) + +Most of the tests are runnable on any combination, but some others might have +restrictions imposed by the installers or the available deployed features. + +Details on working with the functest suites can be found at +http://artifacts.opnfv.org/functest/brahmaputra/userguide/index.html + |
