+
+
+============
+Introduction
+============
+
+The OPNFV testing ecosystem is wide.
+
+The goal of this guide consists in providing some guidelines for new developers
+involved in test areas.
+
+For the description of the ecosystem, see `[DEV1]`_.
+
+=================
+Developer journey
+=================
+
+There are several ways to join test projects as a developer. In fact you may:
+
+ * Develop new test cases
+ * Develop frameworks
+ * Develop tooling (reporting, dashboards, graphs, middleware,...)
+ * Troubleshoot results
+ * Post-process results
+
+These different tasks may be done within a specific project or as a shared
+resource accross the different projects.
+
+If you develop new test cases, the best practice is to contribute upstream as
+much as possible. You may contact the testing group to know which project - in
+OPNFV or upstream - would be the best place to host the test cases. Such
+contributions are usually directly connected to a specific project, more details
+can be found in the user guides of the testing projects.
+
+Each OPNFV testing project provides test cases and the framework to manage them.
+As a developer, you can obviously contribute to them. The developer guide of
+the testing projects shall indicate the procedure to follow.
+
+Tooling may be specific to a project or generic to all the projects. For
+specific tooling, please report to the test project user guide. The tooling used
+by several test projects will be detailed in this document.
+
+The best event to meet the testing community is probably the plugfest. Such an
+event is organized after each release. Most of the test projects are present.
+
+The summit is also a good opportunity to meet most of the actors `[DEV4]`_.
+
+Be involved in the testing group
+================================
+
+The testing group is a self organized working group. The OPNFV projects dealing
+with testing are invited to participate in order to elaborate and consolidate a
+consistant test strategy (test case definition, scope of projects, resources for
+long duration, documentation, ...) and align tooling or best practices.
+
+A weekly meeting is organized, the agenda may be amended by any participant.
+2 slots have been defined (US/Europe and APAC). Agendas and minutes are public.
+See `[DEV3]`_ for details.
+The testing group IRC channel is #opnfv-testperf
+
+Best practices
+==============
+
+All the test projects do not have the same maturity and/or number of
+contributors. The nature of the test projects may be also different. The
+following best practices may not be acurate for all the projects and are only
+indicative. Contact the testing group for further details.
+
+
+Repository structure
+--------------------
+
+Most of the projects have a similar structure, which can be defined as follows::
+
+ `-- home
+ |-- requirements.txt
+ |-- setup.py
+ |-- tox.ini
+ |
+ |-- <project>
+ | |-- <api>
+ | |-- <framework>
+ | `-- <test cases>
+ |
+ |-- docker
+ | |-- Dockerfile
+ | `-- Dockerfile.aarch64.patch
+ |-- <unit tests>
+ `- docs
+ |-- release
+ | |-- release-notes
+ | `-- results
+ `-- testing
+ |-- developer
+ | `-- devguide
+ |-- user
+ `-- userguide
+
+
+API
+---
+Test projects are installing tools and triggering tests. When it is possible it
+is recommended to implement an API in order to perform the different actions.
+
+Each test project should be able to expose and consume APIs from other test
+projects. This pseudo micro service approach should allow a flexible use of
+the different projects and reduce the risk of overlapping. In fact if project A
+provides an API to deploy a traffic generator, it is better to reuse it rather
+than implementing a new way to deploy it. This approach has not been implemented
+yet but the prerequisites consiting in exposing and API has already been done by
+several test projects.
+
+
+CLI
+---
+Most of the test projects provide a docker as deliverable. Once connected, it is
+possible to prepare the environement and run tests through a CLI.
+
+
+Dockerization
+-------------
+Dockerization has been introduced in Brahmaputra and adopted by most of the test
+projects. Docker containers are pulled on the jumphost of OPNFV POD.
+<TODO Jose/Mark/Alec>
+
+Code quality
+------------
+
+It is recommended to control the quality of the code of the testing projects,
+and more precisely to implement some verifications before any merge:
+ * pep8
+ * pylint
+ * unit tests (python 2.7)
+ * unit tests (python 3.5)
+
+
+The code of the test project must be covered by unit tests. The coverage
+shall be reasonable and not decrease when adding new features to the framework.
+The use of tox is recommended.
+It is possible to implement strict rules (no decrease of pylint score, unit
+test coverages) on critical python classes.
+
+
+Third party tooling
+-------------------
+
+Several test projects integrate third party tooling for code quality check
+and/or traffic generation. Some of the tools can be listed as follows:
+
++---------------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
+| Project | Tool | Comments |
++===============+======================+====================================+
+| Bottlenecks | TODO | |
++---------------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
+| Functest | Tempest | OpenStack test tooling |
+| | Rally | OpenStack test tooling |
+| | Refstack | OpenStack test tooling |
+| | RobotFramework | Used for ODL tests |
++---------------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
+| QTIP | Unixbench | |
+| | RAMSpeed | |
+| | nDPI | |
+| | openSSL | |

++---------------+----------------------+------------------------------------+
+
+
+======================================
+Testing group configuration parameters
+======================================
+
+Testing categories
+==================
+
+The testing group defined several categories also known as tiers. These
+categories can be used to group test suites.
+
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Category | Description |
++================+=============================================================+
+| Healthcheck | Simple and quick healthcheck tests case |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Smoke | Set of smoke test cases/suites to validate the release |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Features | Test cases that validate a specific feature on top of OPNFV.|
+| | Those come from Feature projects and need a bit of support |
+| | for integration |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Components | Tests on a specific component (e.g. OpenStack, OVS, DPDK,..)|
+| | It may extend smoke tests |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Performance | Performance qualification |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| VNF | Test cases related to deploy an open source VNF including |
+| | an orchestrator |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Stress | Stress and robustness tests |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In Service | In service testing |
++----------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Testing domains
+===============
+
+The domains deal with the technical scope of the tests. It shall correspond to
+domains defined for the certification program:
+
+ * compute
+ * network
+ * storage
+ * hypervisor
+ * container
+ * vim
+ * mano
+ * vnf
+ * ...
+
+Testing coverage
+=================
+One of the goals of the testing working group is to identify the poorly covered
+areas and avoid testing overlap.
+Ideally based on the declaration of the test cases, through the tags, domains
+and tier fields, it shall be possible to create heuristic maps.
+
+
+=======
+How TOs
+=======
+
+Where can I find information on the different test projects?
+===========================================================
+On http://docs.opnfv.org! A section is dedicated to the testing projects. You
+will find the overview of the ecosystem and the links to the project documents.
+
+Another source is the testing wiki on https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/testing
+
+You may also contact the testing group on the IRC channel #opnfv-testperf or by
+mail at test-wg AT lists.opnfv.org (testing group) or opnfv-tech-discuss AT
+lists.opnfv.org (generic technical discussions).
+
+
+How can I contribute to a test project?
+=======================================
+As any project, the best solution is to contact the project. The project
+members with their email address can be found under
+https://git.opnfv.org/<project>/tree/INFO
+
+You may also send a mail to the testing mailing list or use the IRC channel
+#opnfv-testperf
+
+
+Where can I find hardware resources?
+====================================
+You should discuss this topic with the project you are working with. If you need
+access to an OPNFV community POD, it is possible to contact the infrastructure
+group. Depending on your needs (scenario/installer/tooling), it should be
+possible to find free time slots on one OPNFV community POD from the Pharos
+federation. Create a JIRA ticket to describe your needs on
+https://jira.opnfv.org/projects/INFRA.
+You must already be an OPNFV contributor. See
+https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Developer+Getting+Started.
+
+Please note that lots of projects have their own "how to contribute" or
+"get started" page on the OPNFV wiki.
+
+
+How do I integrate my tests in CI?
+==================================
+It shall be discussed directly with the project you are working with. It is
+done through jenkins jobs calling testing project files but the way to onboard
+cases differ from one project to another.
+
+How to declare my tests in the test Database?
+=============================================
+If you have access to the test API swagger (access granted to contributors), you
+may use the swagger interface of the test API to declare your project.
+The URL is http://testresults.opnfv.org/test/swagger/spec.html.
+
+.. figure:: ../../../images/swaggerUI.png
+ :align: center
+ :alt: Testing Group Test API swagger
+
+Click on *Spec*, the list of available methods must be displayed.
+
+.. figure:: ../../../images/API-operations.png
+ :align: center
+ :alt: Testing Group Test API swagger
+
+For the declaration of a new project use the POST /api/v1/projects method.
+For the declaration of new test cases in an existing project, use the POST
+ /api/v1/projects/{project_name}/cases method
+
+ .. figure:: ../../../images/CreateCase.png
+ :align: center
+ :alt: Testing group declare new test case
+
+How to push your results into the Test Database?
+================================================
+
+The test database is used to collect test results. By default it is
+enabled only for CI tests from Production CI pods.
+
+Please note that it is possible to create your own local database.
+
+A dedicated database is for instance created for each plugfest.
+
+The architecture and associated API is described in previous chapter.
+If you want to push your results from CI, you just have to call the API
+at the end of your script.
+
+You can also reuse a python function defined in functest_utils.py `[DEV2]`_
+
+
+Where can I find the documentation on the test API?
+===================================================
+
+The Test API is now documented in this document (see sections above).
+You may also find autogenerated documentation in
+http://artifacts.opnfv.org/releng/docs/testapi.html
+A web protal is also under construction for certification at
+http://testresults.opnfv.org/test/#/
+
+I have tests, to which category should I declare them?
+======================================================
+See table above.
+
+The main ambiguity could be between features and VNF.
+In fact sometimes you have to spawn VMs to demonstrate the capabilities of the
+feature you introduced.
+We recommend to declare your test in the feature category.
+
+VNF category is really dedicated to test including:
+
+ * creation of resources
+ * deployement of an orchestrator/VNFM
+ * deployment of the VNF
+ * test of the VNFM
+ * free resources
+
+The goal is not to study a particular feature on the infrastructure but to have
+a whole end to end test of a VNF automatically deployed in CI.
+Moreover VNF are run in weekly jobs (one a week), feature tests are in daily
+jobs and use to get a scenario score.
+
+Where are the logs of CI runs?
+==============================
+
+Logs and configuration files can be pushed to artifact server from the CI under
+http://artifacts.opnfv.org/<project name>

-
-Any test project running on any lab integrated in CI can push the

-
-TestAPI description
--------------------
-The TestAPI is used to declare pods, projects, test cases and test
-results. Pods are the sets of bare metal or virtual servers and networking
-equipments used to run the tests.
-
-The results pushed in the database are related to pods, projects and test cases.
-If you try to push results of test done on non referenced pod, the API will
-return an error message.
-
-An additional method dashboard has been added to post-process
-the raw results in release Brahmaputra (deprecated in Colorado).
-
-The data model is very basic, 5 objects are created:
-
- * Pods
- * Projects
- * Testcases
- * Results
- * Scenarios
-
-The code of the API is hosted in the releng repository `[6]`_.
-The static documentation of the API can be found at `[7]`_.
-The TestAPI has been dockerized and may be installed locally in your
-lab. See `[15]`_ for details.
-
-The deployment of the TestAPI has been automated.
-A jenkins job manages:
-
- * the unit tests of the TestAPI
- * the creation of a new docker file
- * the deployment of the new TestAPI
- * the archive of the old TestAPI
- * the backup of the Mongo DB
-
-TestAPI Authorization
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-PUT/DELETE/POST operations of the TestAPI now require token based authorization. The token needs
-to be added in the request using a header 'X-Auth-Token' for access to the database.
-
-e.g::
- headers['X-Auth-Token']
-
-The value of the header i.e the token can be accessed in the jenkins environment variable
-*TestApiToken*. The token value is added as a masked password.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
- headers['X-Auth-Token'] = os.environ.get('TestApiToken')
-
-The above example is in Python. Token based authentication has been added so that only ci pods
-jenkins job can have access to the database.
-
-Please note that currently token authorization is implemented but is not yet enabled.
-
-Reporting
-=========
-
-An automatic reporting page has been created in order to provide a
-consistent view of the scenarios.
-
-In this page, each scenario is evaluated according to test criteria.
-The code for the automatic reporting is available at `[8]`_.
-
-The results are collected from the centralized database every day and,
-per scenario. A score is calculated based on the results from the last
-10 days.
-
-Dashboard
-=========
-
-Dashboard is used to provide a consistent view of the results collected in CI.
-The results showed on the dashboard are post processed from the Database,
-which only contains raw results.
-
-It can be used in addition of the reporting page (high level view) to allow
-the creation of specific graphs according to what the test owner wants to show.
-
-In Brahmaputra, a basic home made dashboard was created in Functest.
-In Colorado, Yardstick adopted Grafana (time based graphs) and ELK (complex
-graphs).
-Since Danube, the testing community decided to adopt ELK framework and to rely
-on bitergia. It was not implemented for Danube but it is planned for Euphrates.
-
-Bitergia already provides a dashboard for code and infrastructure.
-A new Test tab will be added. The dataset will be built by consuming
-the TestAPI.
-
-See `[3]`_ for details.

The Test API is used to declare pods, projects, test cases and test results.
Pods correspond to the cluster of machines (3 controller and 2 compute nodes in

+Test API Authorization
+----------------------
+
+PUT/DELETE/POST operations of the TestAPI now require token based authorization. The token needs
+to be added in the request using a header 'X-Auth-Token' for access to the database.
+
+e.g::
+ headers['X-Auth-Token']
+
+The value of the header i.e the token can be accessed in the jenkins environment variable
+*TestApiToken*. The token value is added as a masked password.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ headers['X-Auth-Token'] = os.environ.get('TestApiToken')

+The above example is in Python. Token based authentication has been added so
+that only CI pods running Jenkins jobs can access to the database. Please note
+that currently token authorization is implemented but is not yet enabled.

+=================
+Until the Colorado release, each testing project managed the list of its

-per project and allow any scenario owner to build his/her custom list of tests
-(Danube 2.0).

+Test Dashboards
===============
+The Test Dashboard is used to provide a consistent view of the results collected in CI.
+The results shown on the dashboard are post processed from the Database, which only
+contains raw results.
+The dashboard can be used in addition of the reporting page (high level view) to allow
+the creation of specific graphs according to what the test owner wants to show.
+
+In Brahmaputra, a basic dashboard was created in Functest.
+In Colorado, Yardstick used Grafana (time based graphs) and ELK (complex
+graphs).
+Since Danube, the OPNFV testing community decided to adopt the ELK framework and to
+use Bitergia for creating highly flexible dashboards `[TST5]`_.
