Overview
This is an expansion to a previous contribution made for the Dublin Release (VSP Compliance Check within SDC (Dublin) - Phase 1). For VSP Compliance tests this work complements a companion contribution proposed for the Frankfurt Release (VSP Compliance and Validation Check within SDC (Frankfurt) - Phase 2).
Abstract
This proposal is to enable SDC to invoke the VNF Test Platform (VTP) framework to run VNF Compliance tests against a VSP being onboarded, with execution of test cases in ONAP VNFSDK and ONAP VVP for OVP certification as well as test cases in third party repositories for custom requirements.
Rationale
The “VSP Compliance Check within SDC” feature [1] for the ONAP Dublin release was designed as a step in the fulfillment of the LFN Compliance and Verification Committee (CVC) vision for VNF Compliance, Validation and Performance tests. The Dublin implementation prioritized on VNF Compliance Tests executed in third party test repositories to enable Service Provider (SP) custom test cases. The next step proposed here for the Frankfurt release is to provide additional SDC and VTP support to enable SDC to support OVP certification by also invoking VNF Compliance Tests from ONAP VNFSDK for TOSCA VNF Packages and ONAP VVP for HEAT VNF Packages.
Other Options Considered
VNF Compliance Tests using VNFSDK and VVP can be carried out offline of SDC onboarding. However, integrating the execution of VNFSDK and VVP VNF test cases to SDC, alongside the existing VNF Compliance Tests for third party repositories and Certifications Query, enables consistent CI/CD tooling and process for automation of VNF onboarding including VNF updates.
Proposal
The proposal will allow an SDC user, during creation of a VSP, to carry out a set of compliance tests on an uploaded VNF Package for OVP certification as well as custom requirements. Test results will be integrated for display on the SDC Front End UI. Results for OVP certification will also be in the submission file format for upload to OVP.
Impacts
Project | Usage | Impact |
SDC | Package results for OVP certification in the submission file format for upload to the OVP Portal. Enable user download for out-of-band sending to OVP Portal offline of SDC or enable SDC Front End UI to upload directly to OVP Portal.
Dependency on proposal [2]. SDC Back End extraction of the VNF Package for VNF Compliance Tests and sending VNF Package to VTP as part of test execution request, rather than extracting and sending just the VNF Template extraction as done for Dublin. Dependency on proposal [2]. Alignment of VTP API test names across VNFSDK, VVP and SDC so SDC Front End UI can display results of VNF Compliance Tests for ONAP VNFSDK test cases, ONAP VVP test cases, and third party repository SP custom test cases. | New functionality. New functionality. New functionality.
Potentially recode test names used by SDC Front End for selecting test list and test result content to display on the UI. |
VNFSDK | SDC invocation of VNFSDK test cases and VVP test cases using VTP APIs. Requires an additional VTP functionality, already prototyped, to enable API driven VVP test cases. Dependency on proposal [2]. Alignment of VTP API test names across VNFSDK, VVP and SDC so SDC Front End UI can display lists and test results for VNF Compliance Tests for ONAP VNFSDK test cases and ONAP VVP test cases in addition to third party repository SP custom test cases. | New functionality. Potentially recode test names used by SDC Front End for selecting test list and test result content to display on the UI. |
