Compliance/verification program (CVP) describes plan to test/measure
these
CVP/testing value proposition(s)
•
Service Providers:
– Reduces testing load
– Shortcut for RFPs

OPNFV compliance and certification options
•
Self-certification
– Vendor conduct certification test and provide the test report to C&C.
•
OPNFV lab certification
– certification test conducted by OPNFV lab and provide the test report to C&C.
– “OPNFV lab” is an authorized OPNFV member test lab (such as UNH,
CableLabs, BII, etc.)
– start with OPNFV members who are actively developing the certification.
•
3rd party Lab certification
– Certification test conducted by authorized 3rd lab and provide the test report to
C&C.
– “3rd party lab” is an OPNFV non-member lab (such as EANTC).
– might expand to include them in the future

Approach for CVP
•
Incrementally define qualification criteria that establish the foundations to
measure:
– the ability to utilize the OPNFV platform,
– how the platform itself should behave,
– how applications may be deployed on the platform.

From the start point

Start point in Colorado release
•
Minimum viable products for(MVP) C release (working in progress, need to
work with C&C together)
– Hardware platform
• Installer setup plus basic test(vPing)
– Software platform
• Functional testing, not performance
• Start with Functest/Yardstick, add capabilities
– IPv6 Overlays, Service Function Chaining, Layer3 VPN
– Basic cloud functions (under discussion)
•
And release after
– MANO（D release）
– more

Procedures flow(work flow)
•
C&C will define the objective and
governance guideline
•
Dovetail can implement the objective
•
Dovetail focuses on
–
–
Jan 2016
Formalize test plans, test case and
scripts
Create additional automation/scripts
to fill the gap

Dovetail deliverables and organization
•
Deliverable:
– Compliance and Certification criteria
– Compliance and Certification Test case selection and creation
•
Basing on Uses case，function and feature recommendation from C&C.
– Compliance and Certification Test Scripts for the test case
•
•
From OPNFV test projects
Maybe dovetail self developed scripts
– ??
•
Organization
– Follow common open source practices,
– Committer and contributors
– More suggestion?

How to choose test case: criteria
•
Recommended by OPNFV community, including the customers from C&C,
technical recommendations from OPNFV projects, etc.
•
Test case based on the use cases
•
Functional test case only
•
No performance test now
