This page is intended to capture discussions and work relating to the longer term strategy and direction of testing within the LFN programs.


Discussion:

conformance vs compliance.

Standard vs Specs.

Testing Scopes

Note, the following is a work in progress.

...

  • ETSI ISG NFV interface standards (or a subset of those requirements)
  • Conformance to well accepted API definitions and operation (i.e. OpenStack or K8s APIs)
  • Open Questions:
    • Should the compliance tests apply to both software and hardware?
      • Hardware example: NUMA compliance, DPDK support, ODP compliance
    • Support DPDK and/or FDIO
    • Address additional specification (e.g. GSMA profiles)
  • We need a standard to comply against.
    • what is it? GSMA profile.

Definition:

  • A "device" is validated when it operated according to its intended purpose or design, i.e. a power plug is able to connect to a socket that is also known to be compliant and passes electricity, both have been validated (it really works).
