Re: Test strategy for the next 3 weeks
Hi Luis,
Thank you for your clarification.
I see the situation.
Whenever the Helpdesk has a slot, we’ll help the Helpdesk to install VTN Coordinator,
and help Integration contributors to test the Coordinator.
Even if Integration Group does not cover VTN Coordinator API tests before the release date,
VTN Coordinator will be in the Virtualization Edition of Hydrogen release.
Is my understanding right?
VTN Coordinator was originally developed as commercial product at NEC,
and we contributed it to this community.
And a lot of integration test scripts on the Coordinator with OpenDaylight Controller has been created in VTN Project activities.
Therefore we think the quality of VTN Coordinator is enough to release.

Hi Hideyuki,
You are right, Denghui and Baohua are both working on VTN Coordinator and I actually asked them to continue the tests but the problem here is of a different nature: I do not think we will have the time to install the required coordinator VM together with the logic to update this VM in the OpenDaylight environment before the release date, especially because this has to be mostly done by Linux Foundation Helpdesk and they are working on other priority issues now. Anyway we are working very closely with the Helpdesk and whenever they have a slot I will ask them to install the coordinator.
Thanks/Luis

Hi Luis,
Denghui and Baohua are working on VTN Manager and VTN Coordinator.
Therefore, I think that the expected system test coverage of Virt VTN Edition is “VTN Mgr API (OF plugin) + VTN Coordinator API”.

Dear Integration contributors,
As you probably have heard we are going to release OpenDaylight by the end of the month. This means we have just 3 weeks to finalize all testing activities that we consider high priority for the release. I say high priority because to be frank I do not think we can cover the 100% of the tasks we have programmed for Hydrogen release before the release date. Hopefully we can still work on the less priority matters after the release date and before the second release requires our full attention.
So two things I would like to cover in this mail: first which activities we should be more focus in the next 3 weeks and second what will be the expected system test coverage by the release date.
1) Let’s start with the high priority activities we should focus in the next 3 weeks:
- Anything related to basic Network Service Functions (Topology Mgr, Switch Mgr, FRM, etc…): current NSFs use OF and OVSDB plugin and they are mostly covered already, Arash is still working on Clustering test.
- New OF plugin: even if it is going to be released like an option (default is old plugin), I would expect many users enabling and using the new plugin so we have to test and help as much as we can on this area. I have already sent a mail with activities we are doing together with the OF plugin devs. We have one dedicated person (Madhusudhan) but please let me know if anyone else wants to contribute here.
- Projects that can be tested with the existing test bed in OpenDaylight (basically OF and mininet dependent projects): These are for example VTN, OVSDB and Affinity. AFAIK, Denghui and Baohua are working on VTN, I will take care of the OVSDB and I hope to get someone for Affinity.
2) And the expected system test coverage by the release date:
- Base edition: NSF API (OF+OVSDB plugin)
- Base edition with new OF plugin: NSF API (OF+OVSDB plugin), OF plugin RESTCONF API (OF plugin)
- SP edition: NSF API (OF+OVSDB plugin), Affinity API (OF plugin)
- Virt VTN edition: VTN Mgr API (OF plugin)
- Virt OVSDB edition: Neutron API (OF+OVSDB plugin)
Please let me know if you agree with the priorities as well as the expected coverage as I would like to send this information to TSC group before the next TSC call tomorrow.
Thanks/Luis
