VIM identity operations test specification
==========================================

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2

Scope
=====

The VIM identity test area evaluates the ability of the system under test to
support VIM identity operations. The tests in this area will evaluate
API discovery operations within the Identity v3 API, auth operations within
the Identity API.

Definitions and abbreviations
=============================

The following terms and abbreviations are used in conjunction with this test area

- API - Application Programming Interface
- NFVi - Network Functions Virtualisation infrastructure
- VIM - Virtual Infrastructure Manager

System Under Test (SUT)
=======================

The system under test is assumed to be the NFVi and VIM in operation on an Pharos compliant infrastructure.

Test Area Structure
====================

The test area is structured based on VIM identity operations. Each test case
is able to run independently, i.e. irrelevant of the state created by a previous test.

All these test cases are included in the test case dovetail.osinterop.tc001 of
cvp test suite.
