Potential CNTi priorities for 1H/2025 are listed below. Voting is now open (see bottom of this wiki page) and we expect to finalize by Tuesday Feb 7th, 2025.

A. Support fixes and enhancements for project Sylva (Existing consumers of the CNTi Test Suite)

How does this help CNTi: Drives further alignment for use of vendor neutral best practices across cloud native communities.
How can we measure if we have been successful: If CNTi test suite results become part of Sylva validation (not just optional)

B. Identify and establish new collaboration with other communities, vendors, operators

How does this help CNTi: Expands contributors and stakeholders and helps drive use of vendor neutral best practices across cloud native communities.
How can we measure if we have been successful: If we have at least one new collaboration, vendor, or CSP

C. Test CNF Test suite against proprietary 5G CNFs (can come via Sylva and/or CNTi beta certification)

How does this help CNTi: Ensures the CNTi test suite works as expected across all available tests.
How can we measure if we have been successful: If at least one proprietary CNF executing and passing all tests.

D. CNF Test suite code cleanup/refactoring, hardening, and test cleanup

How does this help CNTi: Increase quality, security, and reliability of the CNTi test suite.
How can we measure if we have been successful: DISCUSS metric/KPI/etc that we might use.

E. Support of CNF deployment using K8s operators (could potentially be an opportunity to work with Nephio community)

How does this help CNTi: Provide support for CNFs that have more complex deployment/lifecycle management needs.
How can we measure if we have been successful: DISCUSS

F. Explore similar projects for CNF testing (e.g. RedHat or others open-source communities) for purposes of identifying new tests or exploring possible synergies.

How does this help CNTi: Look for established best practices and tests that can be leveraged to expand CNTi tools and/or find ways to grow community with collaboration.
How can we measure if we have been successful? If we implement new tests and/or establish a new collaboration.

G. Extend CNTi Testsuite usage in other projects, not necessarily telecom-related

H. Implement triaging of issues (important as we scale)

I. Refocus our efforts on Best Practices and Testing Tools (less or no efforts on Certification).
