Hi Trevor,

I think one concern I have with Option 1 is, it will only work for the VVP
compliance testing, as soon as we move towards more advanced testing (i.e.
live cycle testing, etc), it would cause a split path for VNF testing,
where you have to do 1/2 of your testing through a web portal and then 1/2
on some type NFVI / MANO platform that is in your lab or another lab. I
think this will just make for a complicated future.

For option 2, this provides some protection, but a clever user could always
just overwrite what is in the logs before submitting this.

Many of these questions / points were already talked about a lot within the
OPNFV program, when that was developed and there was a desire to protect
the results as well.

Cheers,
Lincoln
