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)
- Should the compliance tests apply to both software and hardware?
- We need a standard to comply against.
- what is it? GSMA profile.
