-|test purpose | Storperf integration with yardstick. The purpose of StorPerf |
-| | is to provide a tool to measure block and object storage |
-| | performance in an NFVI. When complemented with a |
-| | characterization of typical VF storage performance |
-| | requirements, it can provide pass/fail thresholds for test, |
-| | staging, and production NFVI environments. |
-| | |
-| | The benchmarks developed for block and object storage will |
-| | be sufficiently varied to provide a good preview of expected |
-| | storage performance behavior for any type of VNF workload. |
+|test purpose | To evaluate and report on the Cinder volume performance. |
+| | |
+| | This testcase integrates with OPNFV StorPerf to measure |
+| | block performance of the underlying Cinder drivers. Many |
+| | options are supported, and even the root disk (Glance |
+| | ephemeral storage can be profiled. |
+| | |
+| | The fundamental concept of the test case is to first fill |
+| | the volumes with random data to ensure reported metrics |
+| | are indicative of continued usage and not skewed by |
+| | transitional performance while the underlying storage |
+| | driver allocates blocks. |
+| | The metrics for filling the volumes with random data |
+| | are not reported in the final results. The test also |
+| | ensures the volumes are performing at a consistent level |
+| | of performance by measuring metrics every minute, and |
+| | comparing the trend of the metrics over the run. By |
+| | evaluating the min and max values, as well as the slope of |
+| | the trend, it can make the determination that the metrics |
+| | are stable, and not fluctuating beyond industry standard |
+| | norms. |
