This page provides information about the Dovetail Test Tool. The Dovetail Test Tool is designed to leverage existing OPNFV test projects (such as functest and yardstick) to automate the execution of Dovetail Test Areas and Test Cases in a way that satisfies compliance testing requirements, and generate required reports for use by the OPNFV compliance verification program.

Dovetail Test Tool Design

Test cases from upstream projects will be validated and work in conjunction with each other as an organic whole. To achieve this goal, we need bunch of scripts to communicate with these test cases. The scripts can execute the test cases under certain circumstances, and then analysis variety results to make a human-friendly report .

This diagram will present the dependencies between each module in dovetail tool:

Component	Description	Status
config files	basiclly the same env config as the config in functest/yardstick, used to indicate SUT information	Done
Testcase definition	testcase definition files, mapping to the testcase from functest/yardstick being executed. these testcases comprise the certification	Done
testsuite definition	testsuite definition files, to determine the scenario of the SUT, and a collection of testcases	Done, basic definition
parser	parse, load and check input files(config,certification,testcases) if they are valid	Done, basic function
Testcase manager	Testcase management, execution status , etc	Done
Test runner	different runner for different test case type.	Done
container manager	all stuff around the container, like pull image, start container and exec cmd in container	Done
runner	main entry for running through the whole validating procedure	Done
report	manage test results and generate reports from these results	Done
dashboard	presentation of test report and show the details of each testcase	Optional
