Hi Prakash,

 

Apologies for not being able to attend the entire meeting today.

I’d like to raise concerns at this, some of the things below I find confusing.

 

Are you proposing that:

-          We use the term ”capability” instead of use case?  Why?

-          We use the term “bundle” instead of test harness or test tool?  Why?

This seems to increase confusion without a purpose I am able to fathom.  Why 
would we not use regular terms for these things?  I would strongly urge that we 
use normal testing terminology in DoveTail, maybe we can discuss it again next 
week as I am a little confused as to the motivation for this deviation.

 

I suggest we revisit the other test suite terminology discussion also.  The 
areas listed do not align with any of the agreements/proposals we made at the 
hackfest, or in the week since. We have yet to identify the use cases we want 
to address and we are otherwise busy creating names like “defrel” and “rcup” 
for suites and tools that do not exist and areas as of yet undefined.

 

Maybe we could also spend a little time updating the IPv6 spec that has been 
untouched since August 12th pending some promised input.

 

Regards,

                Chris

Subject: [opnfv-tech-discuss] FW: [Dovetail] Need concept of Capability and 
Bundles

 

 

Hi all,

 

Here is the details of Dovetail tools building. Please review and we discuss 
this next week.

We need to add

1. Capability - Defines a specific use case to test based on one or more 
scenarios/APIs/Features eg. IPv6, L3VPN, SFC etc.

2. Bundle - We refer to test harness that needs to test  the Capability defined 
by one or more use cases as part of Capability

 

Now the Pass fail criterions can be defined by Dovetail and report sent to C&C 
based on its requirements for Compliances under Compliance Verification Program 
(CVP)

But the scoring by Capability and Matrix plus reporting  must be defined by C&C 
for Dovetail to implement as that is out of scope for Dovetail team.

 

OpenstackBy Module(s)OPNFVBy Use Case(s)
DefCoreEg. Keystone, Glance, Nova, Neutron, Cinder, SwiftDefRelEg. say IPv6, 
L3VPN, SFC in Colorado
RefStackHP, Rackspace CI/CD nodes (800-1000 nodes)RefRelLF, Community and Third 
party labs like NH
TempestNon-Admin API based by ModulesDovetail 
TCUPDocker with micro-kernel versioned copy of tempest to run the RefStack 
software package locally on test clouds for certificationRCUPDocker with 
micro-kernel versioned copy of Dovetail release test Bundle(harness) for 
defined Capability.

 

The suggested terms are new and may be modified like some suggest that RefRel 
be revised as RefRelStack.

We need to define proper work flow and assign proper meanings while we continue 
to progress with some vagueness like we did in case of Scenario in Release B.

 

Plus API testing can progress once we have scoped API from each of the OPNFV 
Scenario/Feature projects as what is exposed and what is not and that we leave 
it to MANO WG to deal with. Note the use case approach is a black box approach 
and as we evolve to Release D,E we will have better definitions of APIs and at 
that time we can raise the bar for compliance, for now a low bar for CVP is 
better than no bar, as we jump the hoop. This is multi-release effort and we 
are just trying to jump start this with industry experiences to help us build 
it ground up or call it native to OPNFV.

 

Thanks

Prakash

Hi all,

Based on the concept moving up the MANO, we will need to add terms Capability 
and Bundles to address the increased Complexity.

Frank introduced Scenario to us we need now to define Capabilities based on set 
of [Use case, Features, APIs and Scenario] and test Bundles (harness is 
alternate term) to verify and validate SLA's. Please review and send your 
feedback. We can go over this in technical meeting Friday if there is slot to 
discuss this.

 

Also I am including earlier presentation had made at Hackfest for validating 
comparison with OpenStack and three new terms came to be coined 

DefRel, RefRel and TCUP corresponding to DefCore, RefStack and TCUP. There may 
be some questions on this but once we define Capability  & Bundles, and try 
define Matrix for  SLA's we are bound to reach for some terms similar or may be 
use this. 

 

All ideas are Open as we move to Release D as we will need to define how we are 
containing the complexity to test and integrate in 2017.

 

Thanks

Prakash
