-Overview of the Functest suites
-===============================
-
-Functest is the OPNFV project primarily targeting function testing.
-In the Continuous Integration pipeline, it is launched after an OPNFV fresh
-installation to validate and verify the basic functions of the
-infrastructure.
-
-The current list of test suites can be distributed over 5 main domains: VIM
-(Virtualised Infrastructure Manager), Controllers (i.e. SDN Controllers),
-Features, VNF (Virtual Network Functions) and MANO stacks.
-
-Functest test suites are also distributed in the OPNFV testing categories:
-healthcheck, smoke, features, components, performance, VNF, Stress tests.
-
-All the Healthcheck and smoke tests of a given scenario must be succesful to
-validate the scenario for the release.
-
-+-------------+---------------+----------------+----------------------------------+
-| Domain | Tier | Test case | Comments |
-+=============+===============+================+==================================+
-| VIM | healthcheck | healthcheck | Verify basic operation in VIM |

-| | | connection | Check OpenStack connectivity |
-| | | _check | through SNAPS framework |
-| | +----------------+----------------------------------+
-| | | api_check | Check OpenStack API through |
-| | | | SNAPS framework |

-| | smoke | vPing_SSH | NFV "Hello World" using an SSH |
-| | | | connection to a destination VM |
-| | | | over a created floating IP |
-| | | | address on the SUT Public / |
-| | | | External network. Using the SSH |
-| | | | connection a test script is then |
-| | | | copied to the destination |
-| | | | VM and then executed via SSH. |
-| | | | The script will ping another |
-| | | | VM on a specified IP address over|
-| | | | the SUT Private Tenant network. |
-| | +----------------+----------------------------------+
-| | | vPing_userdata | Uses Ping with given userdata |
-| | | | to test intra-VM connectivity |
-| | | | over the SUT Private Tenant |
-| | | | network. The correct operation |
-| | | | of the NOVA Metadata service is |

-As shown in the above table, Functest is structured into different 'domains',
-'tiers' and 'test cases'. Each 'test case' usually represents an actual
-'Test Suite' comprised -in turn- of several test cases internally.
-
-Test cases also have an implicit execution order. For example, if the early
-'healthcheck' Tier testcase fails, or if there are any failures in the 'smoke'
-Tier testcases, there is little point to launch a full testcase execution round.
-
-In Danube, we merged smoke and sdn controller tiers in smoke tier.
-
-An overview of the Functest Structural Concept is depicted graphically below:
-
-.. figure:: ../images/concepts_mapping_final.png
- :align: center
- :alt: Functest Concepts Structure
-
-Some of the test cases 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 those tests that fit suitably to OPNFV.
-
-The Tempest test suite is the default OpenStack smoke test suite but no new test
-cases have been created in OPNFV Functest.
-
-The results produced by the tests run from CI are pushed and collected into a
-NoSQL database. The goal is to populate the database with results from different
-sources and scenarios and to show them on a `Functest Dashboard`_. A screenshot
-of a live Functest Dashboard is shown below:
-
-** TODO **
-.. figure:: ../images/FunctestDashboardDanube.png
- :align: center
- :alt: Functest Dashboard
-
-
-Basic components (VIM, SDN controllers) are tested through their own suites.
-Feature projects also provide their own test suites with different ways of
-running their tests.
-
-The notion of domain has been introduced in the description of the test cases
-stored in the Database.
-This parameters as well as possible tags can be used for the Test case catalog.
-
-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. As of Danube release the OPNFV
-offers a lot of potential combinations:
-
- * 3 controllers (OpenDaylight, ONOS, OpenContrail)
- * 4 installers (Apex, Compass, Fuel, Joid)
-
-Most of the tests are runnable by any combination, but some tests might have
-restrictions imposed by the utilized installers or due to the available
-deployed features. The system uses the environment variables (INSTALLER_IP and
-DEPLOY_SCENARIO) to automatically determine the valid test cases, for each given
-environment.
-
-A convenience Functest CLI utility is also available to simplify setting up the
-Functest evironment, management of the OpenStack environment (e.g. resource
-clean-up) and for executing tests.
-The Functest CLI organised the testcase into logical Tiers, which contain in
-turn one or more testcases. The CLI allows execution of a single specified
-testcase, all test cases in a specified Tier, or the special case of execution
-of **ALL** testcases. The Functest CLI is introduced in more detail in the
-section `Executing the functest suites`_ of this document.
