Complete +description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on +`CSIT test naming wiki page <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_. +Below few illustrative examples of the naming usage for test suites across CSIT +performance, functional and Honeycomb management test areas. + +Naming Convention +----------------- + +The CSIT approach is to use tree naming convention and to encode following +testing information into test suite and test case names: + +#. packet network port configuration + + * port type, physical or virtual; + * number of ports; + * NIC model, if applicable; + * port-NIC locality, if applicable; + +#. packet encapsulations; + +#. VPP packet processing + + * packet forwarding mode; + * packet processing function(s); + +#. packet forwarding path + + * if present, network functions (processes, containers, VMs) and their + topology within the computer; + +#. main measured variable, type of test. + +Proposed convention is to encode ports and NICs on the left (underlay), +followed by outer-most frame header, then other stacked headers up to the +header processed by vSwitch-VPP, then VPP forwarding function, then encap on +vhost interface, number of vhost interfaces, number of VMs. If chained VMs +present, they get added on the right. Test topology is expected to be +symmetric, in other words packets enter and leave SUT through ports specified +on the left of the test name. Here some examples to illustrate the convention +followed by the complete legend, and tables mapping the new test filenames to +old ones. + +Naming Examples +--------------- + +CSIT test suite naming examples (filename.robot) for common tested VPP +topologies: + +1. **Physical port to physical port - a.k.a.
