Team, My two cents below:
1. Dovetail is a generic test framework while robot framework is another. Dovetail is ideal for VNF certification testing and is currently used by all of the active OPNFV projects. Meanwhile robot framework serves some other users and scenarios. From VNFSDK’s perspective, we should allow and provide different options to users and vendors etc. 2. Based on 1), I think it is reasonable that we have an integrator/manager available between marketplace and various test frameworks. This integrator/manager should address the functionality overlapping as mentioned in Victor’s proposal, and be able to let more flexible test frameworks/runners to plugin so that different tests can be brought in like discussed in Kanagaraj's proposal. However for the test framework “overlapping”, I guess it is more like a different choice related to different usage. Thanks!

Team, As we discussed during our last meeting, we need to take a fresh look at the VNFSDK architecture, since we'll be using it for the compliance program and need to make it easier to incorporate new tests going forward. I'd like to continue the discussion via email so that we can make progress before Friday. I'm attaching Kanagaraj's proposal, as well. As I see it, Victor's proposal uses our Marketplace GUI to drive Dovetail, and all tests plug into Dovetail directly. Kanagaraj's proposal is more similar to our current architecture, with more flexible test runners to bring in different tests. I will refrain from offering my personal opinion for now because I'd like to encourage discussion. Please share your thoughts on these two approaches (or if you have a different approach) via email. I'd like to finalize the discussion during our Friday meeting.

As we discussed in last VNFSDK meeting, let we exchange ideas and review by email. Attached is the proposal, please let me know your feedback. This is also available on wiki<https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/VNF+SDK+07-13-2018+Meeting>. Thanks in advance. BR Victor -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
