  * etherpad
    https://etherpad.lfnetworking.org/p/LFN_Cert_Performance_Discussions
    (xudan_, 14:17:43)
  * What is performance testing and how does it relate to CVC?  There is
    no pass/fail for performance, so that must be reporting only
    (mbeierl, 14:34:28)
  * which brings up the point that Dovetail and CVC are two separate
    goals.  CVC is a subset of Dovetail.  (mbeierl, 14:35:00)
  * Dovetail has optional tests, and we certainly have the leeway to
    extend the optional tests to include performance  (mbeierl,
    14:35:28)
  * Performance then does not provide a pass/fail, but it does provide
    additional information above the basic functions.  (mbeierl,
    14:36:07)
  * to paraphrase Al, first we show that it works, then we can say how
    fast it works  (mbeierl, 14:36:41)
  * Dovetail initially proposed the scope of OVP, but now there is the
    LFN CVC that is taking this concept and moving it forward and will
    have its own direction  (mbeierl, 14:40:59)
  * Dovetail is able to perform tests such as performance, and is not
    bound to create a pass/fail opinion on it  (mbeierl, 14:42:14)
  * it would be the CVC that would make a decision on how they want to
    use these numbers  (mbeierl, 14:42:40)
  * LINK: http://testresults.opnfv.org/reporting/  (mbeierl, 14:57:57)
  * Mark asks the question: how does Dovetail see itself in relationship
    to the test results dashboard?  Can Dovetail become the project that
    helps with release verification?  (mbeierl, 14:58:36)
  * Al Believes: instead of thresholds, there can be a system of
    references - performance of well-known platforms - which users can
    compare new results against. This makes the results more meaningful
    to users!  (mbeierl, 15:01:16)



Meeting ended at 15:04:17 UTC.
