• SDC project team members, contributed, in all ONAP release, in the successfull completion of  integration team testing
• To our knowledge, the following companies have used ONAP SDC and are actively involved in :

Amdocs – Workflow designer, onboarding
Ericsson – ETSI packages (SOL00x) support, CSIT
Yoppworks/Bell – refactoring, Java 11
Samsung – Python 3, unit tests
Nokia – CDS integration, 5G use cases such as PM dictionary
      Also: Telstra, Fujitsu, Intel, Orange, CMCC, Huawei...

SDC is involved in use case testing as the main design tool, automated testing as part of integration runs and gating checks to verify healthy artifacts distribution is often seen as the green indicator for design time success.

SDC is being used in production deployement in several companies, has been used as a demo tool and is involved as the main model entrypoint successfully since ONAP launch.

Other Information:

• SDC codebase is quite huge, countening several hundred thousands of lines. Still SDC strives to adhere to ONAP code quality by improving its codebase with each release and still plans to improve.
