18:37:37 <dfarrell07> #info Veryx tech rep on the call today, gives intro
18:37:47 <dfarrell07> #info Bhuvan/Veryx has been working with ODL Int/Test for a while to iterate on SDN perf testing, they have a tool for this
18:37:51 <dfarrell07> #info Looking at adding this tool to OPNFV tests
18:37:57 <dfarrell07> #info Test tool can follow CBench hello world example
18:38:01 <dfarrell07> #info Jamo and Bhuvan talk about OPNFV testing, overview of how OPNFV testing works
18:38:07 <dfarrell07> #info First step is likely to install test tool in tools container
18:38:16 <dfarrell07> #info Jamo got back to CBench test patches yesterday, has pushed some updated patches, needs feedback
18:38:22 <dfarrell07> #info LuisGomez talks about questions about OPNFV network layout, jamoluhrsen thinks it's fixed/okay for now, tools can live on jumphost
18:38:28 <dfarrell07> #info Bhuvan says that their tool has been tested on bare metal and VMs, not containers so far but should work
18:38:34 <dfarrell07> #info Bhuvan asks about access
18:38:43 <dfarrell07> #link https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/11973/ patch that added initial Dockerfile for test tools, would wnat to add here
18:38:52 <dfarrell07> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/Developer+Getting+Started OPNFV dev getting started guide
18:38:58 <dfarrell07> #info quick way to access running code version of test tools container: `docker run -it opnfv/cperf bash`
18:39:07 <dfarrell07> #info Al asks about Bhuvan's work on IETF SDN controller draft, how many are implemented in this tool
18:39:14 <dfarrell07> #info Most tests can be done using the tool, about 50% are tested automatically by the tool perf draft, others are manual
18:39:20 <dfarrell07> #info Nikos not here today, some internal deadlines, working on logic to get nstat building on containers, some bugs in latte
18:39:27 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 has conversations going on with Ericsson perf testing people about collaboration
18:39:34 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 has been traveling for OPNFV Summit, ODL Hackfest and now LinuxCon Tokyo
18:39:49 <dfarrell07> #info Al and Bhuvan talk about tests, test methods, test metrics
18:41:19 <dfarrell07> #info Bhuvan gives background on test methods
18:41:41 <dfarrell07> #info LuisGomez talks about realistic tests focus of CPerf, vs artificial load on subsystems
18:45:41 <dfarrell07> #info Summery of steps for Bhuvan: 1) Get accounts configured, as described in OPNFV Dev Getting Started Guide 2) Send patches to add tool to test tools container 2) Work with team to get test running (will likely follow jamoluhrsen's work on getting hello world CBench test running)
18:46:14 <dfarrell07> #info continued discussion about test methods, NSTAT, reactive vs proactive, etc
18:47:30 <dfarrell07> #info Discussion about failure tests, reprogramming networks-style tests
18:48:20 <dfarrell07> #info Al talks about it being interesting that controller has view of topo, can say "okay, this part of topo is gone, fix it" and see how long it takes from a high level perspective
18:48:37 <dfarrell07> #info That^^ type of test would be nicely controller agnostic, dfarrell07 and LuisGomez say
