| + | |||
| + | * Focus is on performance testing | ||
| + | * verify OPNFV Platform performance of NFVI components and sub-systems | ||
| + | * identify performance limiting hardware and software entities in the system and provide solutions to improve the performance of the system | ||
| + | * Scaling and performance the NIC, vNIC, vSwitch, hyper-visor, CPU, Memory, storage devices etc., and their associated metrics like throughput, latency, cpu utilization, etc | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Approach | ||
| + | * test cases that are used to measure the OPNFV platform characteristics as well as certain core functions of the OPNFV platform | ||
| + | * specify various platform components and associated metrics and detailed test plan | ||
