2. OPNFV Colorado1.0 release note for Functest

2.1. Abstract

This document describes the release note of Functest project.

2.2. Version history

Date Ver. Author Comment
2016-08-17 1.0.0 Morgan Richomme (Orange) Functest for Colorado release

2.3. OPNFV Colorado Release

Functest deals with functional testing of the OPNFV solution. It includes test cases developed within the project and test cases developed in other OPNFV projects and other upstream communities.

The internal test cases are:

  • healthcheck
  • vPing ssh
  • vPing userdata
  • Tempest Smoke Serial
  • Rally Sanity
  • ODL
  • Tempest full parallel
  • Rally full
  • vIMS

The OPNFV projects integrated into Functest framework for automation are:

  • bgpvpn
  • Copper
  • Doctor
  • Domino
  • Moon
  • Multisite
  • ONOSFW
  • ONOS-sfc
  • ODL-sfc
  • Parser
  • Promise
  • Security scan

The validation of a scenario requires a subset of these tests depending on the installer and the scenario.

The 3 last internal test cases (tempest full parallel, Rally full and vIMS) are not considered for scenario validation.

In Colorado, the functional tests have been sliced in 6 different categories:

Category Description
healthcheck Basic OpenStack commands
smoke vPings, Tempest and rally smoke tests
sdn_suites Specific SDN feature tests
features OPNFV feature project functional test suites
openstack Advanced, long duration OpenStack tests (Tempest and Rally full suite). Each test may last several hours
vnf Complex scenarios dealing with orchestration, VNF deployment and tests (e.g. vIMS)

For the scenario validation, we consider only the healthcheck, smoke, sdn_suites and features categories. These tests are run systematically in the CI daily loops.

Success criteria have been defined for these test cases, they can be PASS/FAIL or a success rate may be declared (100%, > 90%) All the criteria, as well as the test dependencies are declared in the ci/testcases.yaml file.

The scoring for the Colorado release per installer can be described as follows.

The scoring is an indicator showing how many feature project test suites have been integrated on the scenario.

The scoring equals the number of tests * succesful iteration of each test [0-3]. The scoring method is described in https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=6828617

e.g. apex/odl_l2-nofeature-ha tests = vping_ssh+vping_userdata+tempest+rally+odl+doctor+copper Scoring = 21/21 = 7 * 3

By default, if not specified, the scenarios are HA. HA means OpenStack High Availability (main services). Note that not all VIM (e.g. OpenStack) services are deployed in HA mode, as that depends upon support of the specific service for HA deployment. For example, in the Colorado release, the Congress service is deployed in non-HA mode even for HA OPNFV scenarios, as explicit support for HA operation has not yet been verified. See the release notes of the installers for more details.

It is highly recommended to install a json viewer in your browser (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/jsonview/)

You can get additional details through test logs on http://artifacts.opnfv.org/. As no search engine is available on the OPNFV artifact web site you must retrieve the pod identifier on which the tests have been executed (see field pod in any of the results) then click on the selected POD and look for the date of the test you are interested in.

2.8. Colorado known restrictions/issues

Installer Scenario Issue
any odl_l3-* Tempest cases related to using floating IP addresses fail because of a known ODL bug. vPing_ssh test case is excluded for the same reason. https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/APEX-112 https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/FUNCTEST-445
apex/fuel *-bgpvpn vPing_ssh (floating ips not supported) and vIMS excluded. Some Tempest cases related to floating ips also excluded. Some performance issues have been detected in this scenario (i.e. BGPVPN extension enabled) when running commands against the OpenStack APIs, thus Rally sanity test case has been disabled. Performance issues seem to be connected to the ODL version. It is planned to reintroduce Rally sanity in Colorado 2.0 with the adoption of ODL Boron release.
apex *-fdio Due to late integration, fdio decided to focus on mandatory tests and exclude feature tests (copper, doctor, security_scan) from its scenarios
compass moon First ODL test FAILS because ODL/Openstack federation done in moon is partial. Only MD-SAL is federated (not AD-SAL)
fuel any TestServerBasicOps test case skipped https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/19635/
fuel kvm vPing_ssh and vIMS excluded (metadata related scenarios)
fuel multisite random errors running multisite. A known bug in keystone mitaka, due to which memcache raises exception and keystone becomes unresponsive bugs.launchpad.net/keystone/+bug/1600394 workaround consists in restarting memcache on server
joid any Tempest cases related to object storage excluded https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/17871/
joid domino Domino tests are skipped in CI. However the test case can be run by manually setting IS_IPandKEY_CONFIGURED=true after manually setting properly the IP addresses of the 3 Controller nodes in the configuration file /repos/domino/tests/run_multinode.sh

2.9. Test and installer/scenario dependencies

It is not always possible to run all the test cases on all the scenarios. The following table details the dependencies of the test cases per scenario. The scenario dependencies (installer or scenario) are detailed in https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/functest/tree/ci/testcases.yaml
