Overview ======== This is the **F**\ast **D**\ata **I**/**O** Project (FD.io) **C**\ontinuous **S**\ystem **I**\ntegration and **T**\esting (CSIT) project report for CSIT |release| system testing of VPP-17.01 release. Initial sections of the report describe FD.io functional and performance tests and their continuous execution achieved in CSIT |release|. This is followed by high-level overview of FD.io test environments running in Linux Foundation (LF) FD.io Continuous Performance Labs), CSIT |release| release notes and result highlights. Subsequent sections list the functional and performance detailed test results generated by LF FD.io Jenkins system executing CSIT jobs running tests against the VPP-17.01 release and associated sub-systems (HoneyComb, DPDK). The exact structure of the report is as follows: #. ``Introduction`` - Includes: ``Overview`` - this section; ``CSIT Test Naming`` - describing CSIT naming convention for test suites and test cases, important to understand to correctly interpret the reported results; ``General Remarks`` - additional notes related to this report. #. ``VPP Performance Tests HW`` - Summary of VPP performance tests executed in physical Hardware testbed. Includes: ``Overview`` - containing topology description and list of executed tests; ``Performance Tests Naming`` - lists CSIT naming specifics for performance tests; ``CSIT Release Notes`` - with changes in CSIT |release| including major test additions, performance improvements, changes in testing environment and methodology and known issues; ``Performance Measurements Methodology`` - details testing methodology followed for multi-thread multi-core, packet throughput and latency, and KVM VM vhost tests; ``Report Addendum Targets`` - lists content to be added to this report as part of CSIT |release|. #. ``Testpmd Performance Tests HW`` - ... #. ``VPP Functional Tests VIRL`` - ... #. ``VPP Functional Tests VPPtest`` - ... #. ``HoneyComb Functional Tests VIRL`` - .. #. ``VPP Performance Results HW`` - ... #. ``Testpmd Performance Results HW`` - ... #. ``VPP Functional Results VIRL`` - ... #. ``VPP Functional Results VPPtest`` - ... #. ``HoneyComb Functional Results VIRL`` - ... FD.io CSIT system is developed using two main coding platforms: Robot Framework (RF) and Python. CSIT |release| source code for the executed test suites is available in CSIT branch |release| in the directory "./tests/". A local copy of CSIT source code can be obtained by cloning CSIT git repository - "git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/csit". The CSIT testing virtual environment can be run on a local computer workstation (laptop, server) using Vagrant by following the instructions in `CSIT tutorials `_.
