-Environment Versioning
-----------------------
-
-CSIT test environment versioning has been introduced to track
-modifications of the test environment.
-
-Any benchmark anomalies (progressions, regressions) between releases of
-a DUT application (e.g. VPP, DPDK), are determined by testing it in the
-same test environment, to avoid test environment changes clouding the
-picture.
-To beter distinguish impact of test environment changes,
-we also execute tests without any SUT (just with TRex TG sending packets
-over a link looping back to TG).
-
-A mirror approach is introduced to determine benchmarking anomalies due
-to the test environment change. This is achieved by testing the same DUT
-application version between releases of CSIT test system. This works
-under the assumption that the behaviour of the DUT is deterministic
-under the test conditions.
-
-CSIT test environment versioning scheme ensures integrity of all the
-test system components, including their HW revisions, compiled SW code
-versions and SW source code, within a specific CSIT version. Components
-included in the CSIT environment versioning include:
-
-- **HW** Server hardware firmware and BIOS (motherboard, processsor,
- NIC(s), accelerator card(s)), tracked in CSIT branch in
- :file:`./docs/lab/<server_platform_name>_hw_bios_cfg.md`, e.g. `Xeon
- Skylake servers
- <https://git.fd.io/csit/tree/docs/lab/testbeds_sm_skx_hw_bios_cfg.md#n556>`_.
-- **Linux** Server Linux OS version and configuration, tracked in CSIT
- Reports in `SUT Settings
- <https://s3-docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/test_environment.html#sut-settings-linux>`_
- and `Pre-Test Server Calibration
- <https://s3-docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/test_environment.html#id21>`_.
-- **TRex** TRex Traffic Generator version, drivers and configuration
- tracked in `TG Settings
- <https://s3-docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/test_environment.html#tg-settings-trex>`_.
-- **CSIT** CSIT framework code tracked in CSIT release branches.
