Beta testing:
- Dovetail, together with C&C committee, plans to conduct CVP Beta testing to get direct feedback from
- Vendors who have applicable products and intend to apply for CVP certification for these products
- Third party labs who intend to apply to become OPNFV Preferred Verification Labs
- Operators/end users members who are interested in utilizing CVP for qualification
- Benefits of participating in Beta
- Be listed as the first group of products or labs that have participated in the beta program
- Get direct access to dovetail test suite developers and c&c reviewers
- Beta process
- Entering Beta
- Dovetail test tool and test cases freeze (e.g. 0.7.0), no new development to the test tool or to test cases
- A group of companies (vendors, labs or end users) volunteered to be beta trial testers, submitting feedback / bugs. # of companies should be >= 5, including vendors, labs and end users.
- Test result review
- Beta participants submit Beta test results for review the same way one would in an actual application
- C&C committee organizes a CVP review group for Beta test result review. The review result will be shared with the participant who submitted the test result.
- Bug fixes
- During the Beta trial, testers are expected to be the primary source of bug reports. All reported bugs will be logged, reviewed and prioritized.
- During the Beta trial no new tests or features will be merged into the Dovetail master branch.
- Exit Beta
- All critical bugs are fixed, all non-critical bugs are documented
- If , for example, 0.7.x is the version when the above exit criteria is met, then we will re-label it 1.0.0, and it becomes the first release.
- Duration
- We expect the duration of Beta be up to 6 weeks.
- Entering Beta
- The first release is ready for launch after Beta.
