Overview
This will be the 'software' counterpart of this work. The validation of the software configuration, should be performed against the requirements, that is preferably defined in a machine-readable format. Hence, this project relies heavily on an implementation of PDF 2.0 defined in CNTT.

Implementation of PDF 2.0 in JSON
This implementation will be "SPECIFIC" to support software validation, and multiple installers/installations (Airship, TripleO, Fuel, etc). In this implementation, there will be parameters that are not part of CNTT-PDF. The implementation has two parts:
- PDF-Template in JSON.
- Site-specific PDF in JSON
The PDF-Template includes "extrapolation" information, which will help to create site-specific pdfs. The template will be filled by the user and extrapolated by the tool to create complete site-specific PDF.
The below figure summarizes the organization of the template.
Architecture
There will be two versions with single code-base.
Version-1
The below figure provides the software architecture of the SDV. The user only runs 'valid' program, and select one or more validations.
Version-2
The containerized version.
Testcases
The initial testcases can be found here: http://testresults.opnfv.org/test/#/projects/cirv
Pre-Deployment Software Validation: Hyperlinks
The below table and excel-sheet summarizes the links for which the connectivity is to be checked. Along with the connectivity, the 'Latency' can also be noted.
PS: The table (sources) and the excel (images) are specific to Airship. For other deployments, the components and corresponding repo-names and tags may vary.

Pre-Deployment Software Validation: Configuration
Apart from ensuring that the requirements are met, this validation helps in minimizing/eliminating any deployment errors, drives test-automation, and checks for consistency to achieve efficient automation. The below picture summarizes the scope (in red dashed rectangle) of the software validation.
This software validation can be: (a) 'Pre-Deployment' Software Validation (b) NW Links Validation (c) Post-Deployment Software Validation
The below table summarizes validation of different configurations. The table uses Airship and its configurations as an example.

Network-Links Validation
Some of the options we have:
- Run LLDPtool on compute and control nodes – easiest to implement, but, it can get complex if the number of nodes are more.
- LLDP on TORs - Reuse the solutions that used by ‘data centers’ – opensource and scalable. It may take slightly more time.
We propose to use Option-1. The first problem is topology representation. If PDF 2.0 does not include this in its description, we will use DOT-Specified network graph .
Post-Deployment Software Validation : State
