Project Description and Scope
The Dovetail project is responsible for the technical realization of the OPNFV Verified Program (OVP) and acts as a technical baseline for other compliance verification projects within the scope of the Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) umbrella project. Dovetail provides a framework for executing a specific set of test cases which define the scope of a given compliance verification program, such as OVP. The Dovetail project is being run with guidance and oversight of the OPNFV TSC and the LF Networking Compliance and Verification Committee.
In the context of OVP, Dovetail actively contributes to the test scope of every OVP release by:
- defining and proposing a scope and a high-level roadmap for OVP releases,
- reviewing and evaluating test cases available in OPNFV test tools in terms of applicability to OVP,
- engaging with OPNFV and upstream projects to expand the scope of OVP by ensuring that both OPNFV platform capabilities and corresponding test cases are being implemented.
The Dovetail project does not implement test cases in its own code base. Instead, Dovetail leverages the test cases implemented in the ecosystem of the OPNFV test tools. To this end, Dovetail provides the technical means for downloading the required OPNFV test tools, configuring them, and triggering the execution of a specific list of test cases per tool. Apart from initial configuration of Dovetail itself, the entire testing process is automated.
OPNFV Verified Program
The OPNFV Verified program demonstrates the readiness and availability of commercial products based on OPNFV. Verified products and services submitted by vendors and service providers become compliant by implementing explicitly defined interfaces, behaviors and key features while retaining distinct and value-added innovations across features and capabilities. More information about the OPNFV Verified Program are available on the OVP web portal. Please send any questions about OVP to verified@opnfv.org

DoveTail project
Project description
The OPNFV testing project (dovetail) intends to define and provide a set of OPNFV related validation criteria that will provide input for the evaluation of the use of OPNFV trademarks. The dovetail project will be executed with the guidance and oversight of the Compliance and Certification committee and work to secure the goals of the C&C committee for each release.
The project intends to incrementally define qualification criteria that establish the foundations of how we are able to measure the ability to utilize the OPNFV platform, how the platform itself should behave, and how applications may be deployed on the platform.
Scope:
The project intends to define and implement as necessary qualifications that provide a measure of alignment with the overall OPNFV project for hardware, NFV platform, and NFV applications. The qualifications are not intended to be exclusive in nature, but are intended to provide a measure for the community on the maturity and capability of the OPNFV project and related offerings.
The established processes and tools should be derived from available open source components and test cases. Testing should be able to be executed in an automated on-premise process by entities wishing to evaluate their products or services. This may follow a process similar to the global certification forum (GCF) self certification procedures.
Initial (Brahmaputra) goals
The inital scope of the dovetail project for OPNFV is intended to be a set of evaluations that should provide a set of non-exclusive test cases providing a method of identifying the adherence of NFV solutions to the OPNFV projects activities and goals. This should include qualification by execution of a basic set of mandatory test cases focused on proving:
- "Lab ready" qualification test suites
- OPNFV feature and interface level testing suitable for Plug-Fest activities.
Additionally the project will define a set of pre-requisites, an execution process and reporting guidelines for running the associated test cases.
