CSIT/VPP-16.06 Test Report Draft

DRAFT

Introduction

This report aims to provide a comprehensive and self-explanatory summary of all CSIT test cases that have been executed against FD.io VPP-16.06 code release, driven by the automated test infrastructure developed within the FD.io CSIT project (Continuous System and Integration Testing).

CSIT test cases have been grouped into the following test suites: {editor: use table instead of list below}

1. <test_suite_name>: <test_case_name>, [<test_case_name>]
2. bridge_domain: bridge_domain_untagged
3. cop: cop_whitelist_blacklist, cop_whitelist_blacklist_IPv6
4. dhcp: dhcp_client
5. fds_related_tests: provider_network, tenant_network
6. gre: gre_encapsulation
7. honeycomb: interface_management, vxlan, bridge_domain, tap, interface_vhost_user, sub_interface, persistence, vxlan_gpe.
8. ipv4: ipv4_arp_untagged, ipv4_iacl_untagged, ipv4_untagged
9. ipv6: ipv6_iacl_untagged, ipv6_untagged
10. l2_xconnect: l2_xconnect_untagged
11. lisp: lisp_api_untagged, lisp_dataplane_untagged
12. performance: Long_Bridge_Domain_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_IPv4_Cop_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_IPv4_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_IPv6_Cop_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_IPv6_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_Xconnect_Dot1q_Intel-X520-DA2, Long_Xconnect_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_Bridge_Domain_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_IPv4_Cop_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_IPv4_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_IPv6_Cop_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_IPv6_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_Xconnect_Dot1q_Intel-X520-DA2, Short_Xconnect_Intel-X520-DA2
13. tagging: qinq_l2_xconnect
14. vxlan: vxlan_bd_dot1q, vxlan_bd_untagged, vxlan_xconnect_untagged

CSIT source code for test cases listed above is available in CSIT branch stable/1606 in directory ./tests/suites/<name_of_the_test_suite>. Local copy of CSIT source code can be obtained by cloning CSIT git repository ("git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit"). CSIT testing virtual environment can be reproduced using Vagrant by following the instructions in CSIT tutorials.

Following sections provide description of CSIT test cases executed against VPP-16.06 release (vpp branch stable/1606), followed by summary test results and links to more detailed test results data. LF FD.io test environment and VPP DUT configuration specifics are provided later in this report to aid anyone interested in reproducing the complete LF FD.io CSIT testing environment, in either virtual or physical test beds.

Functional tests description

   description of topologies tested
   description of each test case
       taken from documentation from .robot files(?)
       reference specs of tested functionality i.e. IETF RFC
   list of executed test cases and summary of results PASS/FAIL/ISSUE

Functional tests results

Dump of a vpp-csit-verify-virl-1606 job from console in ASCII.

Performance tests description

   description of topologies tested
   description of each test case, test case type
       taken from documentation from .robot files(?)
       reference specs of tested functionality i.e. IETF RFC
   list of executed test cases and summary results
       long tests - graphs with discovered NDR and PDR rates
       short tests - list with PASS/FAIL/ISSUE

Performance tests results

Set of graphs from vpp-csit-verify-hw-perf-1606-long job and trending from semiweekly. For more granular view, we can also link to wiki page with console output in ASCII and also links to robot log.html and report.html, if we find a way to host them somewhere.
