+
+Previous gerrit triggers for performance tests (

+listed in [1]_ with jjb definition in [2]_. Mapping of triggers to CSIT test RF
+tags [4]_ driving the selection of test cases for execution is listed in [3]_.

+Proposal for mapping triggers to RF tags
+----------------------------------------
+
+*Goal*
+ make it simpler to use, scalable, parametrize and prepare for full CI/CD
+ automation.
+
+*Syntax*
+ trigger_keyword [{tag1} {tag2}AND{tag3} !{tag4} !{tag5}]
+
+*Inputs*
+ - trigger_keyword for vpp-* jobs: 'perftest'
+ - trigger_keyword for csit-* jobs: 'csit-perftest'
+ - tags: existing CSIT tags [4]_ i.e. ip4base, ip6base, iacldst, memif
+
+Set of default tags appended to user input, under control by CSIT
+ - always-on for vpp-csit*.job: 'mrr' 'nic_intel_x710-da2' '1t1c'
+ - if input with no tags, following set applied:
+ - 'mrrANDnic_intel-x710AND1t1cAND64bANDip4base'
+ - 'mrrANDnic_intel-x710AND1t1cAND78bANDip6base'
+ - 'mrrANDnic_intel-x710AND1t1cAND64bANDl2bdbase'
+
+Examples
+ input: 'perftest'
+ expanded: 'mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2AND1t1cAND64bANDl2bdbase mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2AND1t1cAND64bANDip4base mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2AND1t1cAND78bANDip6base'
+ input: 'perftest l2bdbase l2xcbase'
+ expanded: 'mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2ANDl2bdbase mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2ANDl2xcbase'
+ input: 'perftest ip4base !feature'
+ expanded: 'mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2ANDip4base' not 'feature'
+ input: 'perftest ip4base !feature !lbond_dpdk'
+ expanded: 'mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2ANDip4base' not 'feature' not 'lbond_dpdk'
+ input: 'perftestxyx ip4base !feature !lbond_dpdk'
+ invalid: detected as error
+ input: 'perftestip4base !feature !lbond_dpdk'
+ invalid: detected as error
+ input: 'perftest ip4base!feature!lbond_dpdk'
+ invalid expand: 'mrrANDnic_intel_x710-da2ANDip4base!feature!lbond_dpdk'
+ execution of RobotFramework will fail
+
+Constrains
+ Trigger keyword must be different for every job to avoid running multiple jobs
+ at once. Trigger keyword must not be substring of job name or any other
+ message printed by JJB bach to gerrit message which can lead to recursive
+ execution.
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+Implementation is separated into two projects.
+
+CI-MANGEMENT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/13027/
+
+Implementing new gerrit keyword `csit-perftest` in JJB for
+*csit-vpp-perf-verify-{stream}* and `perftest` for
+*vpp-csit-verify-hw-perf-{stream}* performance jobs.
+
+::
+
+ if [[ ${GERRIT_EVENT_TYPE} == 'comment-added' ]]; then
+ TRIGGER=`echo ${GERRIT_EVENT_COMMENT_TEXT} \
+ | grep -oE '(perftest$|perftest[[:space:]].+$)'`
+ else
+ TRIGGER=''
+ fi
+ # Export test type
+ export TEST_TAG="VERIFY-PERF-PATCH"
+ # Export test tags as string
+ export TEST_TAG_STRING=${TRIGGER#$"perftest"}
+
+Code is automatically detecting trigger type and parse the gerrit comment
+massage. Stripped TAGs are exported as bash variable `$TEST_TAG_STRING` together
+with `$TEST_TAG`.
+
+CSIT
+~~~~
+
+https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/13025/
+
+Implementing `$TEST_TAG_STRING` variable post processing. String of TAGs is
+automatically converted into array to be able to loop the items. If variable is
+empty default set of TAGs is applied.
+
+Array is then converted into Robot Framework parameter notation where every word
+means new `--include` parameter. Having multiple words (multiple includes) means
+logical OR in selection of test cases and could be applied to add additional
+test cases that have no common more specific match. See exmaples section for
+more details. Script also detects an exclamation mark before TAG that is
+translated to as a `--exclude` parameter.
