• Linux Foundation ID: You will need this to access JIRA and Gerrit.  You can register for an ID here.

• Knowledge of reStructuredText (RST): All documentation at ONAP is authored in RST.  For the most part you can follow the style of other requirements and content without being an RST expert, but understanding basics may be useful.  The ONAP Documentation project has some useful guides and tutorials here.

• Python 2.7, 3.6+: You will not need to write any Python code, but it is required to generate the documentation from reStructuredText.  If needed, you can find installation instructions for your system here.

• Git: This is the version control tool used by ONAP. If not present on your system, then refer to Git's Getting Started - Installation Guide for more information
• Git Review: This is the command line extension to Git to enable changes to be submitted to review to Geritt.  This needs to be installed after you have installed Git and Python.

• Tox: This is a tool to run the build.  It must be installed after you install Python.  Install it using pip.

  Code Block
  > pip install tox

  
  

• VNF Requirements Standards: Familiarize yourself with the VNFRQTS Requirement and Documentation Standards

...

1. The first order of business will be determining if this requirement should be contributed to the latest version of the requirements, or if it is intended for a prior release.  If you simply, just need to make a change to the latest content then jump to step 3
2. If you wish to change content in a prior release, then you must checkout that branch.  For example, if the master branch is now associated with Dublin, but the change you need to make is for Casablanca, then you will need to do the following:

   1. Fetch the remote branches and checkout the appropriate release branch

      Code Block
      > git fetch > get checkout casablanca (Or whatever the appropriate release branch name is)

      
      

3. If you are adding a new requirement, then you can leave out the :id: and :introduced: attributes as those will be automatically added when you run either ``tox -e docs`` or ``check.py``

   
   

   Code Block
   language text title Example Requirement
   .. req:: :keyword: MUST :target: VNF PACKAGE :impacts: sdc :validation_mode: static The VNF Package **MUST** include element XYZ as part of the CSAR package in the ABC directory

   
   

4. If you are editing the a requirement, then please ensure that the metdata fields are updated appropriately to reflect your changes (example:  :updated: should be set to the current release,  :keyword: and :target: should still match the requirement, etc.)

   will be adding requirements, go to the VNFRQTS Requirement Generation Tool, click Generate ID, fill out the form with the appropriate fields, and click Convert to RST. This will generate RST under the Convert to RST button, you can copy this generated RST and use it in the RST documents.

   Edit the RST documents in the docs folder.  Paste the generated RST from step 3.
   
   

   Code Block
   language text title Example Requirement
   .. req:: :id: R-12345 :keyword: MUST :target: VNF PACKAGE :introduced: casablanca :impacts: sdc :validation_mode: static The VNF Package **MUST** include element XYZ as part of the CSAR package in the ABC directory

   
   

5. After you have made your changes, rebuild the documentation using the tox -e docs command, and view the changes in browser to ensure they are formatted correctly.  This will also regenerate the JSON version of the requirements that are located in docs/data/needs.json.  This is the file make_ids.py uses to ensure new requirement IDs do not conflict and the JSON version is also downloadable via the Requirements List chapter of the Requirements document.perform a variety of quality checks and updates.  Please ensure all warnings are addressed before submitting your changes.
   1. Warnings:
      1. Requirement missing required attributes
      2. Invalid values for attributes/metadata
      3. Invalid section header usage in any file
      4. :keyword: and requirement mismatch
   2. Auto Updates:
      1. Assigning :id: on new requirements where an ID missing
      2. Adding :introduced: attribute on new requirements
      3. Adding/correcting :updated: attribute on changed requirements
6. Once you are satisfied with your change, then it will be time to commit and submit your changes for review

...

1. Initialize your repository to work with Gerrit

   Code Block
   > git review -s

   
   

2. Add your changes to git

   Code Block
   > git add --all

   
   

3. Commit your changes

   Code Block
   > git commit -s

   
   

4. Your default, configured editor will open to provide a commit message.  Please ensure that your commit message adheres to the ONAP Commit Messages standards or your submission will be automatically rejected by Gerrit. 
   1. NOTE: At the bottom of your commit message be sure to include the line Issue-ID: VNFRQTS-####  that corresponds to the JIRA ticket you opened for this change.
5. Now you are ready to push your changes to Gerrit using git review
   

   
   

   Code Block
   > git review {branch name} where {branch name} is the name of your target branch (ex: casablanca). If you are submitting to master, then you you can leave off branch name

   
   

6. Once you have successfully pushed the change up, please log into Gerrit and add reviewers

   1. Log into your dashboard
   2. See your Outgoing Reviews and click on the link corresponding to your review
   3. Click Add to add reviewers
   4. 
   5. Add the following reviewers to your review
