Project: Testbed infrastructure (Pharos)
#########################################


The Pharos project deals with the creation of a distributed and federated NFV test capability that will be hosted by a number of companies in the OPNFV community. The goals consist in managing the list of community platforms, describing the different community platforms, offering timeslots and tools to perform tests, sharing the results and the best practices, supporting any test campaigns of the projects of the community (e.g. [[opnfv_functional_testing | functional testing project]], [[platform_performance_benchmarking|Qtip]], [[get_started|BGS]], [[oscar/project_proposal|oscar]],...). Pharos shall provide the infrastructure and the tooling needed by the different projects.
