View source for HT02 - Test Methodology for NFV

= Description =
This Hot Topic has the following goals:

* Validate and improve the Test Methodology guidelines and templates being described in TST001 and TST002.

* Compile a collection of examples of the application of such guidelines and templates in the context in NFV PoCs : Systems Under Test configurations, Test Descriptions, etc,

These goals may be met in a PoC whose focus is testing, or as additional goals for a PoC primarily addressing another topic.

= Status =
<span style="color:green;">'''ACTIVE'''</span>

= What is expected to be learnt from the NFV PoCs =

==Points to prove/refute==
•	 For '''TST001- Pre deployment validation''' 
# validate and suggest improvements to SUT configurations
# validate and suggest improvements for the Test Description template 
# provide descriptions (following the Test Description template) of pre-deployment scenarios successfully tested by the PoC Team in a reproducible way 

•	For '''TST002 – Interoperability Test Methodology'''
# validate and suggest improvements for the Test Description template (section 4)
# identify the functions under test in the context of the PoC
# provide the list of interoperability features tested by the PoC, and the impacted entities (see http://nfvprivatewiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=IOP_Methodology)
# Provide SUT configurations tested by the PoC Team following the guidelines in section 4. Identify the test interfaces (where actions are triggered and observed)
# provide descriptions (following the Test Description template) of interoperability features successfully tested by the PoC Team in a reproducible way

==Criterion of success==
•	Provide input and concrete examples to at least one of the 2 WIs (TST001 or TST002) 

== Other information ==
Provide feedback to other NFV Working Groups on the items that have been validated by the testing and/or the gaps identified in the specifications.

#	SUT configurations (as exercised by the POC) 
#	Pre-deployment validation Test Descriptions (run by the POC, following TD template) 
PoC Teams shall follow the [[Media:HT_2_FB_Template_TST001.doc | HT#2 FB-TST001]]  on their contributions to Hot Topic#2 - TST001

*	TST002 - Interoperability Test methodology
#	SUT configurations (as exercised by the POC) 
#	List of NFV IOP Features tested by the POC project
#	IOP Test Descriptions (run by the POC, following TD template) 
#	Lessons learnt and suggestions for improvements in the methodologies
