#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher density tests with dtc=0.5
- (2 NF each with 1 DT per physical core) with VPP as a VNF payload.
+ - **Service density 2n-skx tests**: Added higher NF density tests with two
+ NFs' data-plane threads sharing a physical core. VPP IPv4 routing is now
+ used as a VNF payload similar to CNF tests.
- - **Experimental Soak Tests**: Added performamce soak tests framework
+ - **Soak Tests**: Optimized performamce soak tests framework
code for extended time duration tests and throughput discovery
at given PLR and at give total test time e.g. minutes, hours,
- days, weeks, months, years. See updated
+ days, weeks. See updated
:ref:`test_methodology` section for more details.
#. TEST FRAMEWORK
- - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components
+ - **Qemu code refactor**: Complete code refactor of the key components of
QemuUtil.py and QemuManager.py (L1 and L2 KW counterparts). Added
- implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM alongisde the previously used
+ implementation of kernel-image-kvm based VM replacing the previously used
NestedVM images. Added ability to run VPP as a payload in VNF.
- - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continue converting existing VAT L1 keywords to
- PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Required for migrating away
- from VAT. Redesign of key components of PAPI Executor and PAPI history.
+ - **CSIT PAPI Support**: Continued conversion of CSIT VAT L1 keywords to
+ PAPI L1 KWs in CSIT using VPP Python bindings. Redesign of key components
+ of PAPI Executor and PAPI history.
- **General Code Housekeeping**: Ongoing RF keywords optimizations,
removal of redundant RF keywords.
- - **Test suite generator**: Extend the test suite generator for ability to
- generate NIC permutation and search algorithm permutations from base
- suites.
+ - **Test suite generator**: Added capability to generate suites for
+ different NIC models as well as throughput search algorithm types. Uses
+ base tests suites as source.
- **TOX verification**: Added verifications for test suite generator.
