the HW, SW and corresponding configuration + target for validation; the OPNFV infrastructure, in OPNFV community labs. + +* *Step2:* Identify VNF type - the application for which the infrastructure is + to be validated, and its requirements on the underlying infrastructure. + +* *Step3:* Select test cases - depending on the workload that represents the + application for which the infrastruture is to be validated, the relevant + test cases amongst the list of available Yardstick test cases. + +* *Step4:* Execute tests - define the duration and number of iterations for the + selected test cases, tests runs are automated via OPNFV Jenkins Jobs. + +* *Step5:* Collect results - using the common API for result collection. + +Metrics +======= + +The metrics, as defined by ETSI GS NFV-TST001, are shown in +:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and +:ref:`Table3 <table2_3>`. + +In OPNFV Brahmaputra release, generic test cases covering aspects of the listed +metrics are available; further OPNFV releases will provide extended testing of +these metrics. +The view of available Yardstick test cases cross ETSI definitions in +:ref:`Table1 <table2_1>`, :ref:`Table2 <table2_2>` and :ref:`Table3 <table2_3>` +is shown in :ref:`Table4 <table2_4>`. +It shall be noticed that the Yardstick test cases are examples, the test +duration and number of iterations are configurable, as are the System Under +Test (SUT) and the attributes (or, in Yardstick nomemclature, the scenario +options). + +.. _table2_1: + +**Table 1 -
