Hello again Akhil, I have a couple more questions regarding performance and functional testing for crypto-devices using the DPDK crypto application. The crypto application supports both cipher-only mode and cipher-then-auth mode. I would like to clarify the following points for optimal test coverage:
1. Test case reusability: If a cipher algorithm passes validation in cipher-only mode, can we reuse that cipher algorithm across all cipher-then-auth test runs while varying only the authentication algorithm? 2. Operations threshold: What is the recommended number of total operations per test to generate statistically meaningful performance metrics? We are starting with 30,000,000 total operations per run of the app. since test execution time is always a concern and we may run dpdk-crypto-perf many times with a broad matrix of ciphers/algorithms based on your response to question #1, we are curious if there are tests where the total-operations argument can be reduced >
