OVP portal
- repo based development for interfaces to test results
- portal is basically a dynamic representation of test.db results
- Initial plan: One-time development effort by external company, followed by community based support
Open Questions:
- Long term maintenance suggests a hosted project under LFN - ONAP or OPNFV
- OPNFV/CNTT technically have the alignment to the OVP outcomes
- ONAP has more development resources and may be a better project owner for the portal?
- Community has been unable to support the current portal, why would the community be better equipped on some new portal?
- How to get to a specific project plan?
- Have existing portal and a list of improvements
- UNH is a knowledgeable supplier - can we get confirmation of UNH willingness to build/support
- Lincoln Lavoieto develop SOW for presentation and review

...
- Open source development (Dovetail) community dissolved
- Lacking skill set in UI development - Intracomm was contracted
- Original portal leveraged from OpenStack

Reviewed requirements set below.
- We reviewed and agreed the requirement below down to the "Results Format" section.
- Group will continue to review that section offline to prepare for next week
- Lincoln Lavoie will create a flow diagram for the portal workflow.
Requirements
This list of requirements should be expanded in level of detail to support an RFP:
- General requirements
- the The portal must at least provide the same functionality as today's portals (see https://nfvi-verified.lfnetworking.org/#/ AND https:/):
- "marketplace": list companies and products which have obtained a badge
- upload, validate, display and manage test results by "uploaders" review /vnf-verified.lfnetworking.org/#/)
- One portal should support multiple programs, that can be searched / filtered by program/badge type on the public listing page.
- The public lists should searchable, and allow filtering by the program type, company, and other columns displayed on the main page.
- High-level use cases
- Support upload, validation, display, sharing, and manage test results and application by "user"
- Support a review workflow of test results by "reviewers"
- OVP program integration
- the web portal must integrate different types of OVP programs (e.g. NVFI, VNF, ...)
- today, the VNF and NFVI program use separate web portals
- Publicly list companies and products which have obtained a badge in a "marketplace", as marked by "admin"
- Test Result Management
- authenticated users (role "uploaderuser") must be able to
- upload test results
- edit meta data (application) of a test result set (product name, etc.)
- view, delete, and edit only their own test results
- change status of a test result between "private" and "for review"
- authenticated users (role "uploaderuser") must be able to
- review management
- authenticated reviewers (role "reviewer") must be able to:
- access only to test results set to state "for review" (not all uploaded results)
- cast a vote (-1, 0, 1) on instance of test results submitted to review
- Add comment along with there vote (i.e. why they voted -1, etc.)
- authenticated reviewers (role "reviewer") must be able to:
- OVP release management
- management Management of releases of OVP (create new, edit, delete) must be runtime operations, i.e., not requiring new versions of the portal
- the web portal must
- validate that an uploaded set of test results conforms to a given format (schema)
- validation of test results must follow a schema (manageable as part of the release management)
- the schema shall include
- list of all tests per OVP release: "source of truth" - does an uploaded test result package contain results for all tests of an OVP release
- OVP release ID
- a OVP release comprises
- a OVP release comprises
- documentation
- a unique test result schema for test result validation and display
- a unique identifier (e.g.
- OVP020.
- OVP program type (e.g. NVFI, VNF, ...)
- reviewers (user role) must be able to
- access all test results set to state "for review"
- cast a vote (-1, 0, 1) on every instance of test results
- 09)
- links to documentation
- a list of test cases for each program type that are mandatory or optional
- This list is used to validate if a set of submitted results meets the requirements for the OVP release.
- portal lifecycle management
- all management operations on test results, market place entries, users, and new releases of OVP must be runtime operations not requiring new builds of the web portal
- separation of LCM of the portal instance (responsibility of LF IT) and content (responsibility of OVP admins)
- Marketplace managementPublic List Management
- "marketplace admins" (user role) must be able to manage entries of the marketplace (create, edit, delete)
- all entries of the marketplace must be stored in persistent storage
- entries must include support to display a company logo (provided by the user submitting the application)
- market place data items per entry: see current fields + <add more if needed, Brandon?>
- allow for managing users and roles based on LF IDs
- roles: reviewer, uploader, admin
- A full list of fields for the existing NFVI and VNF programs will be provided by the LFN CVC
- LFN CVC will provide guidance on which fields will display on the top level list (main page) or only in a detailed listing (linked to from the main page)
- User Management
- Users log in through a Linux Foundation Open ID
- A user logging in for the first time is automatically assigned the "user" role.
- User Roles
- "user"
- Can upload and manage test results
- Can only see own test results
- Can create an application to submit their results to review
- "reviewer"
- can see all test results marked as "for review" by its "user" (the user is the owner of the results / application)
- "admin"
- can manage assigned user roles
- can manage (create, update, delete) entries to the marketplace
- "user"
- A portal user can have multiple assigned roles, i.e. Jo can be assigned the roles of "admin" and "user"
- Results Format
- Should be as flexible as possible.
- Results are uploaded as a zip or tar.gz file, other formats will be rejected
- Must include a "test result summary" in the archive file root
- The "test results summary" will include:
- Version of the tool used (i.e. what version of functest was running)
- Date & time of the test run
- validation and display of test results (see also terminology below)
- the web portal must validate uploaded test results by comparing the "test result summary" to a "test result guideline"
- "test result guideline": source of truth
- list of all test cases which are part of a given OVP release
- use case: detect if test cases are missing from uploaded test results
- the expected result for passing each test case (functional tests: "pass", non-functional: "value")
- stored in web portal only
- list of all test cases which are part of a given OVP release
- "test result summary"
- part of the "test result package" generated by test tool
- json formatted
- should include in addition to today (AP on test tooling team)
- OVP release ID (e.g. 2020.10)
- OVP program type (e.g. NVFI, VNF, ...)
- example of a "test result package" currently generated by test tooling:
- "test result guideline": source of truth
- optional requirements, requires close collaboration with and input from test tooling team
- define a schema for formal validation of test result summary
- define a schema for formal validation of test result guide
- the web portal must validate uploaded test results by comparing the "test result summary" to a "test result guideline"
- Validation of Results
- The portal should be capable of validating the submitted results.
- Validation checks the results contain the correct test cases (minimum set) and those test cases pass
- The set of test cases (minimum set) should be controlled by the portal admin.
- An OVP release may include multiple "minimum sets" that apply to different releases of Functest and OpenStack
- Terminology
- "test result package": archive containing "test result summary" file and individual logs
- "test result summary": json formatted file containing a summary of all test cases / one run of the compliance test tool
- "test result guideline": json formatted file containing all tests which are part of an OVP release + expected result for passing a test
