2017-06-02tests: Improvement of step driven testcasesMartin Klozik2-2/+38
A set of improvements was introduced to enhance step driven testcases capabilities. Details: * delay among test steps is configurable by TEST_STEP_DELAY parameter * step driven tool function exec was renamed to exec_shell * new step driven tool function exec_python was introduced to execute a python code * new step driven object sleep was introduced to pause test execution for defined number of seconds. * fixed bug in settings.validate_getValue() to correctly validate access of parameters modified by TEST_PARAMS * new #PARAM() macro was introduced to allow references among configuration parameters * multistream support has been added into ixnetrfc2544v2.tcl, which is used for tunneling protocols test (op2p deployment) * fixed bug in op2p deployment to list interfaces and flows from both bridges involved in the test * test report updated to state exact rfcxxxx type of traffic type, e.g. rfc2544_continuous * test report of step driven testcases was updated to contain measured values from traffic generator in CSV report * method for ovs flow comparison was modified to normalize IPv4 CIDR network addr (e.g. 10.0.0.5/8 => 10.0.0.0/8) JIRA: VSPERF-512 Change-Id: Ib4f38dcdfbf3820dd766b25520da0ad0c81f3293 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Sridhar Rao <sridhar.rao@spirent.com> Reviewed-by: Trevor Cooper <trevor.cooper@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>
2017-05-31Qemu: Mechanism to pass extra qemu cpu features and pin vCPU threadskalyanreddy1-0/+40
JIRA: VSPERF-510 This patch is used to implement the mechanism to pass extra qemu cpu options required to achieve better results/performance. Also used to implement a mechanism to pin the vCPU threads to another pCPU core which helps in reducing the noise from housekeeping thread and packet loss.

2017-05-03build: Automated VPP buildMartin Klozik1-0/+4
VSPERF makefiles were updated to automatically download and compile VPP. VPP will not be installed into the OS, but it will be executed from VSPERF's src subdirectory. Thus underlying OS is not affected by VPP build required by VSPERF. It also allows quick switch among different versions of various tools used by VSPERF. As part of this patch, VERIFY and MERGE CI jobs were updated to build VPP and test it with basic set of integration tests.

2017-04-19ixia: Support of 1 NIC connection to trafficgenMartin Klozik1-0/+8
For some testcases it is useful to have only one connection between traffic generator and DUT. Thus IxNet class was extended to support such connection. Feature is enabled if both IXIA ports are set to the same value. New integration testcase ixnet_pvp_tput_1nic was created to demonstrate this feature. Unused code was removed from 3rd_party/ixia/ixnetrfc2544.tcl to simplify introduction of new features and to speed up IXIA configuration.

2017-04-18xena_verify: Add final verification option to XenaChristian Trautman1-0/+31
Adds final verification option to Xena traffic generator inside VSPerf. Works by running the Xena2544.exe again after the initial run is complete with modified values inside the json file. If the final verify fails it will revert the settings and continue the in a pattern based on if the smart search is enabled.

2017-03-24ixia: Make L3 and L4 headers optionalMartin Klozik3-7/+21
During testing it is sometimes useful to generate pure L2 traffic without L3 or L4 related headers. IxNetwork TCL script was updated to support this option. Generic TRAFFIC array was enhanced by on/off switch for L3 and L4 headers. Thus it can be implemented by other traffic generators in the future, if this feature will prove itself useful.
