14 OPNFV Euphrates 5.1 release note for Functest
15 =============================================
20 This document contains the release notes of the Functest project.
23 OPNFV Euphrates Release
24 ======================
26 Functest deals with functional testing of the OPNFV solution.
27 It includes test cases developed within the project, test cases developed in
28 other OPNFV projects and it also intgrates test cases from other upstream
31 The internal test cases are:
38 * tempest_smoke_serial
43 * tempest_full_parallel
48 The OPNFV projects integrated into Functest framework for automation are:
60 * orchestra_clearwaterims

122 Functest now delivers light-weigth Docker images based on Alpine 3.6. The test cases are grouped into several categories
123 or tiers and must be run from the corresponding container. For example, to run the test case healthcheck, the image
124 opnfv/functest-healthcheck shall be used. The tiers and the tests within them are explained in detail in the User Guide.
126 The former Ubuntu image is not longer maintained.
128 The Parser test case has its own dedicated Docker image since it requires libraries released for OpenStack Pike and
129 Euphrates is based on Ocata.
131 The Docker images do not contain OS images (Cirros, Ubuntu, Centos, ..) anymore. A script has been created under the
132 ci directory (download_images.sh) which contains all the needed images for all the tests. This file can be modified by
133 the user since not all the images might be used. It must be executed before starting Functest and attach the needed
134 images as a Docker volume. See Configuration Guide for more information.
136 The requirements have been split into 3 files:
137 * requirements.txt : lists all abstract dependencies of the OPNFV packages
138 * test-requirements.txt : lists all abstract dependencies required by Functest Unit Tests
139 * upper-constraints.txt : lists all concrete upstream dependencies required by Functest Docker container
141 OPNFV (test-)requirements.txt have been updated according to stable/ocata global-requirements.txt.
142 Functest uses (and completes) stable/ocata upper-constraints.txt in Dockerfiles and tox configuration.
143 The project relies on pbr, which injects requirements into the install_requires, tests_require and/or dependency_links
144 arguments to setup. It also supports conditional dependencies which can be added to the requirements (e.g. dnspython>=1.14.0;python_version=='2.7')
146 The way to manage logging has been centralized to a configuration file (logging.ini) which might be modified by the user.
147 By default, the output of executing the test cases is redirected to log files and is not displayed on the console, only result
148 messages and summary tables are displayed.
150 The framework has been refactored and all the test cases inherit from a core class TestCase. For Feature projects who develop
151 test cases, 2 sub-classes have been created:
152 - Feature: it implements all the needed functions and the developer must only overwrite the method "execute" (e.g. Barometer)
153 - BashFeature: it is used if the third party test case is a shell script. This way, the execution command must be specified in
154 testcases.yaml as the argument (e.g. Domino, Doctor)
156 An internal REST API has been introduced in Euphrates. The goal is to trigger Functest operations through an API in addition of the CLI.
157 This could be considered as a first step towards a pseudo micro services approach where the different test projects could expose and
158 consume APIs to the other test projects.
160 Euphrates 5.1 improvements

176 +==============+===========+==============================================+
177 | fuel@aarch64 | any | VNF tier not supported yet. |
178 +--------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+
179 | | | The test cases belonging to the VNF tier |
180 | any | any | have been only tested on os-nosdn-nofeature |
181 | | | scenarios and baremetal deployments. |
182 +--------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+
183 | Joid | k8 | Functest does not offer test suites for |

185 +--------------+-----------+----------------------------------------------+
188 Test and installer/scenario dependencies
189 ========================================
191 It is not always possible to run all the test cases on all the scenarios.
192 The scenario dependencies (installer or scenario) are detailed
193 in the different testcases.yaml for each tier:
195 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/healthcheck/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
196 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/smoke/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
197 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/features/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
198 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/components/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
199 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/vnf/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
200 * https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/docker/parser/testcases.yaml?h=stable/euphrates
