-CSIT Honeycomb functional tests are executed on virtualized topologies created
-using Virtual Internet Routing Lab (VIRL) simulation platform contributed by
-Cisco. VIRL runs on physical baremetal servers hosted by LF FD.io project. All
-tests are executed in two node logical test topology - Traffic Generator (TG)
-node and Systems Under Test (SUT1) node connected in a loop. Logical test
-topology is shown in the figure below.

-SUT1 is a VM (Ubuntu or Centos, depending on the test suite), TG is a Traffic
-Generator (TG, another Ubuntu VM). SUTs run Honeycomb and VPP SW applications
-in Linux user-mode as a Device Under Test (DUT) within the VM. TG runs Scapy
-SW application as a packet Traffic Generator. Logical connectivity between
-SUTs and to TG is provided using virtual NICs using VMs' virtio driver.
-
-Virtual testbeds are created on-demand whenever a verification job is started
-(e.g. triggered by the gerrit patch submission) and destroyed upon completion
-of all functional tests. Each node is a Virtual Machine and each connection
-that is drawn on the diagram is available for use in any test case. During the
-test execution, all nodes are reachable thru the Management network connected
-to every node via dedicated virtual NICs and virtual links (not shown above
-for clarity).

+SUT (System Under Test) is a VM running Ubuntu Linux (or Centos,
+depending on the test suite), TG (Traffic Generator) is another VM
+running Ubuntu Linux. SUT VMs run HoneyComb management agent and VPP in
+Linux user-mode as a combined DUT (Device Under Test). TG runs Scapy
+application as a packet Traffic Generator. Virtual connectivity between
+SUT and TG is provided using virtual NICs using VMs' virtio drivers.

+Operational data in Honeycomb should mirror configuration data at all
+times. Because of this, test cases follow this general pattern:
#. read operational data of the feature using restconf.
#. read status of the feature using VPP API dump.
#. modify configuration of the feature using restconf.
#. verify changes to operational data using restconf.
#. verify changes using VPP API dump, OR
-#. send a packet to VPP node and observe behaviour to verify configuration
+#. send a packet to VPP node and observe behaviour to verify configuration.
-Test cases involving network interfaces utilize the first two interfaces on
-the DUT node.
+Test cases involving network interfaces utilize the first two interfaces
+on the DUT node.
Functional Tests Naming
-----------------------
-CSIT |release| introduced a common structured naming convention for all
-performance and functional tests. This change was driven by substantially
-growing number and type of CSIT test cases. Firstly, the original practice did
-not always follow any strict naming convention. Secondly test names did not
-always clearly capture tested packet encapsulations, and the actual type or
-content of the tests. Thirdly HW configurations in terms of NICs, ports and
-their locality were not captured either. These were but few reasons that drove
-the decision to change and define a new more complete and stricter test naming
-convention, and to apply this to all existing and new test cases.
-
-The new naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. The complete
-description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on `CSIT test naming
-page <https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit-test-naming>`_.
-
-Here few illustrative examples of the new naming usage for functional test
-suites:
-
-#. **Physical port to physical port - a.k.a. NIC-to-NIC, Phy-to-Phy, P2P**
-
- - *eth2p-ethip4-ip4base-func.robot* => 2 ports of Ethernet, IPv4 baseline
- routed forwarding, functional tests.
-
-#. **Physical port to VM (or VM chain) to physical port - a.k.a. NIC2VM2NIC,
- P2V2P, NIC2VMchain2NIC, P2V2V2P**
+|csit-release| follows a common structured naming convention for all
+performance and system functional tests, introduced in CSIT-17.01.
- - *eth2p-ethip4vxlan-l2bdbasemaclrn-eth-2vhost-1vm-func.robot* => 2 ports of
- Ethernet, IPv4 VXLAN Ethernet, L2 bridge-domain switching to/from two vhost
- interfaces and one VM, functional tests.
+The naming should be intuitive for majority of the tests. Complete
+description of CSIT test naming convention is provided on
+:ref:`csit_test_naming`.
