I just re-assigned DOVETAIL-351 https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/DOVETAIL-351 to myself from Bryan to come up with a standard set of vocabulary. (Bryan, hope you are ok with this.) I do agree there are a lot of loose use of terms that we need to quickly clean up. Many of such cases I know are from old/obsolete documents left over from Colorado though. We just didn’t have time to clean them up and refresh the docs yet.
With the question of calling it CVP vs. dovetail, I think C&C can weigh in. Personally, I prefer to distinguish a software tool from the program itself. Tools are just a means to an end. The test suite, on the other hand, is already named as compliance test suite. The only caution I would add is not to spend too much time renaming things unnecessarily.

I have noticed that we seem to lack a common approach to how we refer to this program in the dovetail project. May I propose we establish some guidelines and apply them: We describe our activities as being in the context of the CVP (compliance and verification program) Our tools are to be described as “The CVP toolchain” The selected test cases and test areas should be referred to as the “CVP test suite” or “CVP tests” Dovetail is a project in OPNFV that does not carry test cases or deliver into the projects, it is more is the place we structure and document how the CVP is achieved by the OPNFV community. The toolchain being developed in dovetail is maybe not falling into that category, but that is more a short term bridging function until our test framework tools can bridge any needed gaps with regard to security protocols needed. I would propose specifically like to see that: We do not refer to the “dovetail project” in our CVP documents or tools this is not important for the consumer. We do not call our tools the “dovetail tools” nor refer to “dovetail tests” as these should be referred to as CVP tools, processes and tests. Cheers, Chris
