    • improve tool-chain infrastructure
    • CII silver badging
    • Increase and expand unit test code coverage

    • Improve documentation (eg. all APIs fully documented)
  • control loop enhancements
    • operations automation

    • not model driven config
    • DGs not in line w/ operational needs
    • Limited/hard-coded closed loop function
    • limited data collection
    • DMaaP REST APIs rather than native Kafka client
    • no capabilities/framework for data enrichment
    • heavy/broken collector and analytics
  • platform maturity
    • No component level maturity assessment
    • something similar to CNCF model would be good.
      • should not be a required component until a certain level of maturity is in place
    • Content vs. code - not model driven
    • S3P tighter security
    • scalability fo high volume components (DCAE, DMaaP, controllers)
  • upgradability - on major ONAP releases

  • End user documentation and overall experience
• Self-Serviceability
