-Versioning
-----------

-In order to determine any benchmark anomalies (progressions,
-regressions) between releases of a specific data-plane DUT application
-(e.g. VPP, DPDK), the DUT needs to be tested in the same test
-environment, to avoid test environment changes impacting the results and
-clouding the picture.
+.. include:: ../introduction/environment/changes_vpp.rst
-In order to enable test system evolution, a mirror scheme is required to
-determine benchmarking anomalies between releases of specific test
-system like CSIT. This is achieved by testing the same DUT application
-version between releases of CSIT test system.
-
-CSIT test environment versioning scheme ensures integrity of all the
-test system components, including their HW revisions, compiled SW code
-versions and SW source code, within a specific CSIT version. Components
-included in the CSIT environment versioning include:
-
-- Server hosts hardware firmware and BIOS (motherboard, processsor, NIC(s), accelerator card(s)).
-- Server host Linux operating system versions.
-- Server host Linux configuration.
-- TRex Traffic Generator version, drivers and configuration.
-- CSIT framework code.
-
-Following is the list of CSIT versions to date:
-
-- Ver. 1 associated with CSIT rls1908 git branch as of 2019-08-21.
-- Ver. 2 associated with CSIT rls2001 git branch as of 2020-03-27.
-- Ver. 3 interim associated with master branch as of 2020-xx-xx.
-- Ver. 4 associated with CSIT rls2005 git branch as of 2020-06-24.

-To identify performance changes due to VPP code changes from v20.01.0 to
-v20.05.0, both have been tested in CSIT environment ver. 4 and compared
-against each other. All substantial progressions has been marked up with
-RCA analysis. See Current vs Previous Release and Known Issues.
-
-CSIT environment ver. 4 has been evaluated against the ver. 2 by
-benchmarking VPP v20.01.0 in both environrment versions.
