Testing Assumptions

A single VES Collector will be pre-deployed for all flows

DCAE project will 'hand-craft' a blueprint for TCA deployment using Kubernetes

SDC (DCAE-Design Studio) will not generate the blueprint programmatically

CLAMP will deploy an instance of TCA microservice for each use case (vCPE, vFirewall, etc.)

CLAMP will create the initial configuration policy for TCA and make any subsequent updates to it through API to Policy

Initial TCA configuration policy and subsequent updates will be sent by policy to DCAE policy handler

TCA microservice will process updates to its configuration policy

TCA microservice will not be capable of processing multiple configuration policies

Preparation for Testing

DCAE

Deploy VES Blueprint to DCAE which will deploy the VES collector

Generate TCA Blueprint

Confirm validity of previously-generated (and uploaded to Policy) TCA Policy model

Policy

Make sure that policy model for TCA is already uploaded to Policy GUI - this should be done as part of initial Policy container deployment

CLAMP

Store policy model for TCA in local repository

Testing Flow

This sequence of flows below will be repated for all services being tested (vCPE, vFirewall, vDNS)

Flow 1: Design and Distribute First Control Loop

Flow 2: Configure and Deploy First Control Loop

Step Range	Description	Status
1-3	CLAMP Creates Policies	Tested
4-11	CLAMP Starts deployment in DCAE
12-17	CLAMP starts getting deployment status
18-22	DCAE gets and stores TCA policy
23-30	DCAE deploys TCA with config policy
31-35	CLAMP gets final status

Run Control Loop Again

After the control loop is reconfigured, we test that the changes have taken effect. This is done by running the control loop again. For example, if the threshold value was increased, we would initiate an event with the old threshold value, and see that the signature is no longer produced.
