CSIT/PerfTestPlan

FD.io IT systems integration

Three Jenkins jobs for CSIT performance test cases are in place today:

1. Job name: csit-vpp-functional-hw-tb2

   • Trigger: Comment "hw-perf-check" in proposed patch in CSIT project
     • TODO items
       • rename to "verify-perf-all"
       • consider adding later on "verify-perf-short", "verify-perf-long"
   • Status: WORKING
2. Job name: vpp-verify-performance-long
