  • OPNFV provides the building-blocks (tests) for CNTT's RC.
    • Repeatable, consumable, stable.
    • Hand-off OPNFV-JERMA to RC activities and OVP badging (not the same)
    • Main goal OPNFV-JERMA is to check if the test case integration/automation and requirement coverage.
  • More specifically, is JERMA an RC Tech Preview? Prototype? Beta? Experimental?
  • JERMA is the most comprehensive set of tests aligned to the CNTT RA-1 and RC-1. 
  • CNTT determines the definition of Compliance (test cases in RC).
