+CSIT Test Naming

+================

+

+Background

+----------

+

+CSIT |release| introduced a common structured naming convention for all

+performance and functional tests. This change was driven by substantially

+growing number and type of CSIT test cases. Firstly, the original practice did

+not always follow any strict naming convention. Secondly test names did not

+always clearly capture tested packet encapsulations, and the actual type or

+content of the tests. Thirdly HW configurations in terms of NICs, ports and

+their locality were not captured either. These were but few reasons that drove

+the decision to change and define a new more complete and stricter test naming

+convention. And to apply it to all existing and new test suites and test

+cases.

+

+The new naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete

+description of the newly adopted CSIT test naming convention is provided on

+`CSIT test naming page <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_. Here

+few illustrative examples of the new 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:

+

+1. packet network port configuration

+

+  * port type, physical or virtual;

+  * number of ports;

+  * NIC model, if applicable;

+  * port-NIC locality, if applicable;

+

+2. packet encapsulations;

+

+3. VPP packet processing

+

+  * packet forwarding mode;

+  * packet processing function(s);

+

+4. packet forwarding path

+

+  * if present, network functions (processes, containers, VMs) and their

+    topology within the computer;

+

+5. 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. NIC-to-NIC, Phy-to-Phy, P2P**

+    PacketProcessingFunction1-...-PacketProcessingFunctionN-TestType*

+  * *10ge2p1x520-dot1q-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrdisc.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on Intel

+    x520 NIC, dot1q tagged Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline switching with

+    MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.

+  * *10ge2p1x520-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-ndrchk.robot* => 2 ports of 10GE on

+    Intel x520 NIC, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain baseline switching

+    with MAC learning, NDR throughput discovery.
