.. SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-4.0 Overview of the Functest suites =============================== Functest is the OPNFV project primarily targeting functional testing. In the Continuous Integration pipeline, it is launched after an OPNFV fresh installation to validate and verify the basic functions of the infrastructure. The current list of test suites can be distributed over 5 main domains: * VIM (Virtualised Infrastructure Manager) * Controllers (i.e. SDN Controllers) * Features * VNF (Virtual Network Functions) * Kubernetes Functest test suites are also distributed in the OPNFV testing categories: healthcheck, smoke, features, components, performance, VNF, Stress tests. All the Healthcheck and smoke tests of a given scenario must be succesful to validate the scenario for the release. +-------------+---------------+------------+----------------------------------+ | Domain | Tier | Test case | Comments | +=============+===============+============+==================================+ | VIM | healthcheck | connection | Check OpenStack connectivity | | | | \_check | | | +---------------+------------+----------------------------------+ | | smoke | vping_ssh | NFV "Hello World" using an SSH | | | | | connection to a destination VM | | | | | over a created floating IP | | | | | address on the SUT Public / | | | | | External network.

Each 'test case' usually represents an actual 'Test Suite' comprised -in turn- of several test cases internally. Test cases also have an implicit execution order. For example, if the early 'healthcheck' Tier testcase fails, or if there are any failures in the 'smoke' Tier testcases, there is little point to launch a full testcase execution round. In Danube, we merged smoke and sdn controller tiers in smoke tier. An overview of the Functest Structural Concept is depicted graphically below: .. figure:: ../../../images/concepts_mapping_fraser.png :align: center :alt: Functest Concepts Structure Some of the test cases are developed by Functest team members, whereas others are integrated from upstream communities or other OPNFV projects. For example, `Tempest `_ is the OpenStack integration test suite and Functest is in charge of the selection, integration and automation of those tests that fit suitably to OPNFV. The Tempest test suite is the default OpenStack smoke test suite but no new test cases have been created in OPNFV Functest. The results produced by the tests run from CI are pushed and collected into a NoSQL database. The goal is to populate the database with results from different sources and scenarios and to show them on a `Functest Dashboard`_. A screenshot of a live Functest Dashboard is shown below: .. figure:: ../../../images/FunctestDashboardEuphrates.png :align: center :alt: Functest Dashboard Basic components (VIM, SDN controllers) are tested through their own suites. Feature projects also provide their own test suites with different ways of running their tests. The notion of domain has been introduced in the description of the test cases stored in the Database. This parameters as well as possible tags can be used for the Test case catalog. vIMS test case was integrated to demonstrate the capability to deploy a relatively complex NFV scenario on top of the OPNFV infrastructure. Functest considers OPNFV as a black box. OPNFV offers a lot of potential combinations (which may change from one version to another): * 3 controllers (OpenDaylight, ONOS, OpenContrail) * 5 installers (Apex, Compass, Daisy, Fuel, Joid) Most of the tests are runnable by any combination, but some tests might have restrictions imposed by the utilized installers or due to the available deployed features. The system uses the environment variables (INSTALLER_TYPE and DEPLOY_SCENARIO) to automatically determine the valid test cases, for each given environment. A convenience Functest CLI utility is also available to simplify setting up the Functest evironment, management of the OpenStack environment (e.g. resource clean-up) and for executing tests. The Functest CLI organised the testcase into logical Tiers, which contain in turn one or more testcases. The CLI allows execution of a single specified testcase, all test cases in a specified Tier, or the special case of execution of **ALL** testcases. The Functest CLI is introduced in more details in next section. .. _`[2]`: https://docs.openstack.org/tempest/latest/ .. _`[3]`: https://rally.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html .. _`Doctor User Guide`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/doctor/colorado/userguide/index.html .. _`SDNVPN User Guide`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sdnvpn/colorado/docs/userguide/index.html .. _`Parser User Guide`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/parser/colorado/docs/userguide/index.html .. _`Functest Dashboard`: http://testresults.opnfv.org/ .. _`SFC User Guide`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/colorado/userguide/index.html
