14:06:05 <bin_> #topic Certification Program and Dovetail
14:06:52 <bin_> #info Wenjing introduced background of CVP, which was chartered by Board
14:07:09 <bin_> #info Dovetail defines test case etc
14:10:24 <bin_> #info Team looked at scenarios, configurations, feature use cases, etc.
14:10:55 <bin_> #info intend to define test framework, tools and test cases
14:12:29 <bin_> #info Wenjing described OPNFV Reference Platform concept and diagram on slide #2
14:13:13 <bin_> #info and common interface points on slide #3
14:16:58 <bin_> #info there are 2 types of SUTs. Hardware platform and NFVI+VIM (software), illustrated on slide #4
14:18:36 <bin_> #info Morgan asked if the word "derived" means something from existing tests or something different
14:19:10 <bin_> #info Wenjing said now it is identical, in the future, it might be slightly different
14:19:50 <bin_> #info Wenjing said main difference could be in NFVI to VIM interface
14:20:53 <bin_> #info Morgan said it should be possible to flag those test cases that will be used for certification tests
14:21:27 <bin_> #info There could be additional test cases for certification tests purpose
14:24:23 <bin_> #info if there are just additional functions, it can be added to existing test cases. No problem to add improvement in existing test cases
14:24:52 <bin_> #info if there are new features such as onboarding, Yardstick can do.
14:25:49 <bin_> #info Hongbo said FuncTest and Yardstick have already helped a lot, and we will work together
14:26:35 <bin_> #info Wenjing introduced self-testing method on slide #5
14:27:21 <bin_> #info One is to validate hardware SUT, and the other is to validate HW+NFVI+VIM SUT
14:28:07 <bin_> #info and the documentation needed
14:28:40 <bin_> #info a view of test suite coverage is presented on slide #6
14:30:46 <bin_> #info IPv6 will be covered
14:30:58 <bin_> # SDNVPN is considered
14:31:09 <bin_> #info SDNVPN is considered
14:31:16 <bin_> #info MANO will be in the future
14:32:54 <bin_> #info a workflow from test suite, test area, test case, tools is depicted on slide #7
14:34:19 <bin_> #info Morgan mentioned test WG's workflow, including CI, is very similar.
14:34:34 <bin_> #info several categories have been defined already
14:35:06 <bin_> #info there are unit test cases such as Tempest, all the VIM part, and smoke tests
14:35:54 <ljlamers> #info Larry Lamers
14:36:07 <bin_> #info So current test WG workflow could satisfy the need of certification test, because all the mechanisms have been in place
14:37:12 <bin_> #info Wenjing mentioned it could be great to harmonize, especially for Danube
14:37:56 <bin_> #info Other general project information is available on slide #8
14:38:28 <bin_> #info Hongbo introduced PlugFest planned for December
14:39:01 <bin_> #info First try to run Dovetail on different hardware platform
14:39:26 <bin_> #info Second task to try to use some tools for interoperability
14:39:57 <bin_> #info we are developing some tools
14:40:17 <bin_> #info need to collaborate with test WG
14:40:48 <bin_> #info Wenjing asked for questions
14:41:18 <bin_> #info Dave N said the purpose is to raise community awareness, and get feedback from community
14:42:57 <bin_> #info Wenjing welcome more participation in PlugFest
14:43:38 <bin_> #info Bryan asked where was the awareness of dovetail came from
14:44:25 <bin_> #info Wenjing answered from TSC call, Infra WG, etc. for lacking the visibility
14:51:16 <bin_> #topic OPNFV Vision and Priorities for Danube
14:51:35 <bin_> #info Morgan indicated that it is not ready for community discussion yet
14:51:56 <bin_> #info we started discussion on TSC, and will create a wiki based on discussion on TSC
14:52:11 <bin_> #info we are not trying to create competition among project
14:52:36 <bin_> #info but to optimize resources and harmonization
14:52:57 <bin_> #info the discussion is collected in etherpad for various points
14:53:19 <bin_> #info such as what are 5 priorities in Danube
14:53:32 <hongbo1> leo_wang: zaibu?
14:53:38 <bin_> #info the coordination is already a challenging
14:55:36 <bin_> #info difficult to explain new features and new scenarios in marketing
14:55:57 <bin_> #info the idea is to collect points before December
14:56:15 <bin_> #info to know where we want to go
14:56:38 <bin_> #info and a little bit steering from TSC
14:57:03 <hongbo1> agree
14:59:33 <bin_> #info Morgan will send email in a few days to initiate the discussion
14:59:38 <bin_> #topic AOB

15:00:32 <bin_> #info all agreed to re-convene the weekly technical discussion in 2 weeks on Dec 1.
