+Development guidelines
+----------------------
+This section provides guidelines and best practices for feature development
+and bug fixing in Yardstick.
+
+In general, bug fixes should be submitted as a single patch.
+
+When developing larger features, all commits on the local topic branch can be
+submitted together, by running ``git review`` on the tip of the branch. This
+creates a chain of related patches in gerrit.
+
+Each commit should contain one logical change and the author should aim for no
+more than 300 lines of code per commit. This helps to make the changes easier
+to review.
+
+Each feature should have the following:
+
+* Feature/bug fix code
+* Unit tests (both positive and negative)
+* Functional tests (optional)
+* Sample testcases (if applicable)
+* Documentation
+* Update to release notes
+
+Coding style
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. _`OpenStack Style Guidelines`: https://docs.openstack.org/hacking/latest/user/hacking.html
+.. _`OPNFV coding guidelines`: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Contribution+Guidelines
+
+Please follow the `OpenStack Style Guidelines`_ for code contributions (the
+section on Internationalization (i18n) Strings is not applicable).
+
+When writing commit message, the `OPNFV coding guidelines`_ on git commit
+message style should also be used.
+
+Running tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Once your patch has been submitted, a number of tests will be run by Jenkins
+CI to verify the patch. Before submitting your patch, you should run these
+tests locally. You can do this using ``tox``, which has a number of different
+test environments defined in ``tox.ini``.
+Calling ``tox`` without any additional arguments runs the default set of
+tests (unit tests, functional tests, coverage and pylint).
+
+If some tests are failing, you can save time and select test environments
+individually, by passing one or more of the following command-line options to
+``tox``:
+
+* ``-e py27``: Unit tests using Python 2.7
+* ``-e py3``: Unit tests using Python 3
+* ``-e pep8``: Linter and style checks on updated files
+* ``-e functional``: Functional tests using Python 2.7
+* ``-e functional-py3``: Functional tests using Python 3
+* ``-e coverage``: Code coverage checks
+
+.. note:: You need to stage your changes prior to running coverage for those
+ changes to be checked.
+
+In addition to the tests run by Jenkins (listed above), there are a number of
+other test environments defined.
+
+* ``-e pep8-full``: Linter and style checks are run on the whole repo (not
+ just on updated files)
+* ``-e os-requirements``: Check that the requirements are compatible with
+ OpenStack requirements.
+
+Working with tox
+++++++++++++++++
+.. _virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/
+
+``tox`` uses `virtualenv`_ to create isolated Python environments to run the
+tests in. The test environments are located at
+``.tox/<environment_name>`` e.g. ``.tox/py27``.
+
+If requirements are changed, you will need to recreate the tox test
+environment to make sure the new requirements are installed. This is done by
+passing the additional ``-r`` command-line option to ``tox``::
+
+ tox -r -e ...
+
+This can also be achieved by deleting the test environments manually before
+running ``tox``::
+
+ rm -rf .tox/<environment_name>
+ rm -rf .tox/py27
+
+Writing unit tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+For each change submitted, a set of unit tests should be submitted, which
+should include both positive and negative testing.
+
+In order to help identify which tests are needed, follow the guidelines below.
+
+* In general, there should be a separate test for each branching point, return
+ value and input set.
+* Negative tests should be written to make sure exceptions are raised and/or
+ handled appropriately.
+
+The following convention should be used for naming tests::
+
+ test_<method_name>_<some_comment>
+
+The comment gives more information on the nature of the test, the side effect
+being checked, or the parameter being modified::
+
+ test_my_method_runtime_error
+ test_my_method_invalid_credentials
+ test_my_method_param1_none
+
+Mocking
++++++++
+The ``mock`` library is used for unit testing to stub out external libraries.
+
+The following conventions are used in Yardstick:
+
+* Use ``mock.patch.object`` instead of ``mock.patch``.
+
+* When naming mocked classes/functions, use ``mock_<class_and_function_name>``
+ e.g. ``mock_subprocess_call``
+
+* Avoid decorating classes with mocks. Apply the mocking in ``setUp()``::
+
+ @mock.patch.object(ssh, 'SSH')
+ class MyClassTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
+
+ should be::
+
+ class MyClassTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
+ def setUp(self):
+ self._mock_ssh = mock.patch.object(ssh, 'SSH')
+ self.mock_ssh = self._mock_ssh.start()
+
+ self.addCleanup(self._stop_mocks)
+
+ def _stop_mocks(self):
+ self._mock_ssh.stop()

+
+Location of vEPC test cases: ``samples/vnf_samples/nsut/vepc/``.
+
+Before running a specific vEPC test case using NSB, some preconfiguration
+needs to be done.
+
+Update Spirent Landslide TG configuration in pod file
+=====================================================
+
+Examples of ``pod.yaml`` files could be found in
+:file:`etc/yardstick/nodes/standalone`.
+The name of related pod file could be checked in the context section of NSB
+test case.
+
+The ``pod.yaml`` related to vEPC test case uses some sub-structures that hold the
+details of accessing the Spirent Landslide traffic generator.
+These subsections and the changes to be done in provided example pod file are
+described below.
+
+1. ``tas_manager``: data under this key holds the information required to
+access Landslide TAS (Test Administration Server) and perform needed
+configurations on it.
+
+ * ``ip``: IP address of TAS Manager node; should be updated according to test
+ setup used
+ * ``super_user``: superuser name; could be retrieved from Landslide documentation
+ * ``super_user_password``: superuser password; could be retrieved from
+ Landslide documentation
+ * ``cfguser_password``: password of predefined user named 'cfguser'; default
+ password could be retrieved from Landslide documentation
+ * ``test_user``: username to be used during test run as a Landslide library
+ name; to be defined by test run operator
+ * ``test_user_password``: password of test user; to be defined by test run
+ operator
+ * ``proto``: *http* or *https*; to be defined by test run operator
+ * ``license``: Landslide license number installed on TAS
+
+2. The ``config`` section holds information about test servers (TSs) and
+systems under test (SUTs). Data is represented as a list of entries.
+Each such entry contains:
+
+ * ``test_server``: this subsection represents data related to test server
+ configuration, such as:
+
+ * ``name``: test server name; unique custom name to be defined by test
+ operator
+ * ``role``: this value is used as a key to bind specific Test Server and
+ TestCase; should be set to one of test types supported by TAS license
+ * ``ip``: Test Server IP address
+ * ``thread_model``: parameter related to Test Server performance mode.
+ The value should be one of the following: "Legacy" | "Max" | "Fireball".
+ Refer to Landslide documentation for details.
+ * ``phySubnets``: a structure used to specify IP ranges reservations on
+ specific network interfaces of related Test Server. Structure fields are:
+
+ * ``base``: start of IP address range
+ * ``mask``: IP range mask in CIDR format
+ * ``name``: network interface name, e.g. *eth1*
+ * ``numIps``: size of IP address range
+
+ * ``preResolvedArpAddress``: a structure used to specify the range of IP
+ addresses for which the ARP responses will be emulated
+
+ * ``StartingAddress``: IP address specifying the start of IP address range
+ * ``NumNodes``: size of the IP address range
+
+ * ``suts``: a structure that contains definitions of each specific SUT
+ (represents a vEPC component). SUT structure contains following key/value
+ pairs:
+
+ * ``name``: unique custom string specifying SUT name
+ * ``role``: string value corresponding with an SUT role specified in the
+ session profile (test session template) file
+ * ``managementIp``: SUT management IP adress
+ * ``phy``: network interface name, e.g. *eth1*
+ * ``ip``: vEPC component IP address used in test case topology
+ * ``nextHop``: next hop IP address, to allow for vEPC inter-node communication
+
+Update NSB test case definitions
+================================
+NSB test case file designated for vEPC testing contains an example of specific
+test scenario configuration.
+Test operator may change these definitions as required for the use case that
+requires testing.
+Specifically, following subsections of the vEPC test case (section **scenarios**)
+may be changed.
+
+1. Subsection ``options``: contains custom parameters used for vEPC testing
+
+ * subsection ``dmf``: may contain one or more parameters specified in
+ ``traffic_profile`` template file
+ * subsection ``test_cases``: contains re-definitions of parameters specified
+ in ``session_profile`` template file
+
+ .. note:: All parameters in ``session_profile``, value of which is a
+ placeholder, needs to be re-defined to construct a valid test session.
+
+2. Subsection ``runner``: specifies the test duration and the interval of
+TG and VNF side KPIs polling. For more details, refer to :doc:`03-architecture`.

+|step 1 | Spirent Landslide components are running on the hosts |
+| | specified in the pod file. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with Spirent Landslide Test |
+| | Administration Server (TAS) by TCL and REST API. The test |
+| | will resolve the topology and instantiate all emulated EPC |
+| | network nodes. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | Test scenarios run, which performs the following steps: |
+| | |
+| | * Start emulated EPC network nodes; |
+| | * Establish subscribers connections to EPC network (default |
+| | bearers); |
+| | * Establish the number of dedicated bearer as specified in |
+| | the test case as per default bearer for each subscriber; |
+| | * start run users traffic through EPC network nodes; |
+| | * During traffic is running, send bearer modification request|
+| | after specified in test case timeout; |
+| | * Disconnect dedicated bearers; |
+| | * Disconnect subscribers at the end of the test. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | During test run, all the metrics provided by Spirent |
+| | Landslide are stored in the yardstick dispatcher. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | The test case will create the test session in Spirent |
+| | Landslide with the test case parameters and store the |
+| | results in the database for benchmarking purposes. The aim |
+| | is only to collect all the metrics that are provided by |
+| | Spirent Landslide product for each test specific scenario. |
