Hi Morgan,

during the last days we have done a review (not fully complete yet) about the 
approach you proposed for integrating our test scenario with functest, and we 
internally agreed that this approach should be enough for us to test the vIMS 
scenario running on Orchestra. We already have some code which we plan to 
commit during this week, however it would be good to discuss with you all about 
some doubts we are having during tomorrow’s call.

In the wiki page you sent it is mentioned also that "Functest does not test any 
MANO stack”. In general, in Orchestra we would be interested in having some 
integration scenarios which could be useful for covering test cases for MANO 
frameworks. We have already an upstream project [1] doing something similar, 
and our initial plan was to integrate this project within OPNFV functest, as 
already mentioned earlier to Jose. With the approach taken in your abstraction 
I see that this integration won’t be really easily doable. Main reason is that 
our integration-test framework already splits the test cases in different 
steps, while you cover at the moment mainly two steps (deploy VNF and test VNF)
* registration of a VIM instance
* on boarding a NSD
* deployment a NSR using the on boarded NSD from previous step
* testing that the NS is really deployed (optional in case of negative testing)
* deletion of the NSR
* deletion of the NSD
* unregistration of the VIM

With our framework, it is possible to define a scenario (and the steps which 
needs to be executed) directly using a configuration file. An example of a 
scenario can be found here [2], deploying an iperf server and client network 
service and testing that the client connected effectively with the server 
(therefore testing that dependencies were correctly configured between VNFs).

Although I see that your approach can be further extended to include those 
additional steps, I would suggest not to have them as part of VNF testing, 
rather starting creating a new set of test cases which can be part of a MANO 
group (or maybe including them in the feature tests group?). Nevertheless, 
coding the test steps in a specific programming language will also limit the 
integration of existing external frameworks (like the one we already have) MANO 
providers may already have implemented.

In summary, talking about the Orchestra project, we will provide soon the code 
for testing the deployment of a VNF (vIMS based on OpenIMSCore) implementing 
the abstract class you provided and following the approach taken for cloudify. 
However, as we assume that in the future the Orchestra project will be directly 
integrated with at least one installer, we would like to include some more 
comprehensive use cases that can execute several (positive and negative) test 
cases, possibly using already existing frameworks (like the one I mentioned). 
Would that be feasible within functest?

PS: I added myself as reviewer in gerrit ;-)

Dear Orchestra, Opera, OAI teams

I would like to know the status on VNF onboarding for Danube.

My last view was that you all were candidates to integrate a testcase
integrating an orchestrator (respectivelly Openbaton, Open-O,  Juju for
OAI) to deploy a VNF (respectively ??, vIMS, vEPC(OAI)).

I created a wiki page to explain how to do it with Functest
https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=8687767
a patch is currently pending (including  some preconfiguration for you)
https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/26769/
I was only able to add Open-O team for review (other contributors not
found from gerrit)

Valentin who created the cloudify_vims showed in Berlin adapted his code
to the VNF abstraction we are suggesting (we also provide an abstraction
for feature project).
This abstraction and more globally the integration in Functest should
harmonize the way we are testing VNF from Functest perspective and allow
an integration in CI process including test result collection and
scenario reporting.

Do you want to use Functest framework for Danube?
As we are now entering the integration phase, it is important to get
your feedback on your plan for Danube.
Any comment welcome: framework, abstraction, needs,...
We have a weekly meeting on IRC avery Tuesday 8 UTC, I added a slot for
next week.

Thanks & regards
