+Overview

+========

+

+.. note::

+

+    This section includes an abbreviated version of the VPP Test Framework

+    overview maintained within the VPP project. Complete overview can be found

+    in `VPP unit test documentation <link>`_

+

+VPP Unit Test Framework

+-----------------------

+

+VPP Test Framework is used to ease writing, running and debugging unit tests

+for the VPP. It is based on python as a high level language to  allow rapid

+test development. scapy\_ is used as a tool for creating and dissecting

+packets.

+

+VPP Test Framework does not send any packets to VPP directly. Traffic is

+instead injected using VPP packet-generator interfaces. Packets are written

+into a temporary .pcap file, which is then read by the VPP code with packets

+getting injected into the VPP processing nodes.

+

+Similarly, VPP does not send any packets to VPP Test Framework directly.

+Instead, VPP packet capture feature is used to capture and write packets to a

+temporary .pcap file, which is then read and analyzed by the VPP Test

+Framework.

+

+For complete description of the VPP Test Framework including anatomy of a test

+case and detailed documentation of existing VPP unit test cases please refer

+to the `VPP unit test documentation <link>`_

+
