+Presentation and Analytics Layer
+================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The presentation and analytics layer (PAL) is the fourth layer of CSIT
+hierarchy. The model of presentation and analytics layer consists of four
+sub-layers, bottom up:
+
+ - sL1 - Data - input data to be processed:
+
+ - Static content - .rst text files, .svg static figures, and other files
+ stored in the CSIT git repository.
+ - Data to process - .xml files generated by Jenkins jobs executing tests,
+ stored as robot results files (output.xml).
+ - Specification - .yaml file with the models of report elements (tables,
+ plots, layout, ...) generated by this tool. There is also the configuration
+ of the tool and the specification of input data (jobs and builds).
+
+ - sL2 - Data processing
+
+ - The data are read from the specified input files (.xml) and stored as
+ multi-indexed `pandas.Series <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/
+ generated/pandas.Series.html>`_.
+ - This layer provides also interface to input data and filtering of the input
+ data.
+
+ - sL3 - Data presentation - This layer generates the elements specified in the
+ specification file:
+
+ - Tables: .csv files linked to static .rst files.
+ - Plots: .html files generated using plot.ly linked to static .rst files.
+
+ - sL4 - Report generation - Sphinx generates required formats and versions:
+
+ - formats: html, pdf
+ - versions: minimal, full (TODO: define the names and scope of versions)

+Data
+----
+
+Report Specification
+````````````````````
+
+The report specification file defines which data is used and which outputs are
+generated. It is human readable and structured. It is easy to add / remove /
+change items. The specification includes:
+
+ - Specification of the environment.
+ - Configuration of debug mode (optional).
+ - Specification of input data (jobs, builds, files, ...).
+ - Specification of the output.
+ - What and how is generated:
+ - What: plots, tables.
+ - How: specification of all properties and parameters.
+ - .yaml format.
+
+Structure of the specification file
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The specification file is organized as a list of dictionaries distinguished by
+the type:
+
+::
+
+ -
+ type: "environment"
+ -
+ type: "configuration"
+ -
+ type: "debug"
+ -
+ type: "static"
+ -
+ type: "input"
+ -
+ type: "output"
+ -
+ type: "table"
+ -
+ type: "plot"
+ -
+ type: "file"
+
+Each type represents a section. The sections "environment", "debug", "static",
+"input" and "output" are listed only once in the specification; "table", "file"
+and "plot" can be there multiple times.
+
+Sections "debug", "table", "file" and "plot" are optional.
+
+Table(s), files(s) and plot(s) are referred as "elements" in this text. It is
+possible to define and implement other elements if needed.
+
+
+Section: Environment
+''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This section has the following parts:
+
+ - type: "environment" - says that this is the section "environment".
+ - configuration - configuration of the PAL.
+ - paths - paths used by the PAL.
+ - urls - urls pointing to the data sources.
+ - make-dirs - a list of the directories to be created by the PAL while
+ preparing the environment.
+ - remove-dirs - a list of the directories to be removed while cleaning the
+ environment.
+ - build-dirs - a list of the directories where the results are stored.
+
+The structure of the section "Environment" is as follows (example):
+
+::

+Data to process
+```````````````
+
+The PAL processes tests results and other information produced by Jenkins jobs.
+The data are now stored as robot results in Jenkins (TODO: store the data in
+nexus) either as .zip and / or .xml files.
+
+
+Data processing
+---------------
+
+As the first step, the data are downloaded and stored locally (typically on a
+Jenkins slave). If .zip files are used, the given .xml files are extracted for
+further processing.
+
+Parsing of the .xml files is performed by a class derived from
+"robot.api.ResultVisitor", only necessary methods are overridden. All and only
+necessary data is extracted from .xml file and stored in a structured form.
+
+The parsed data are stored as the multi-indexed pandas.Series data type. Its
+structure is as follows:
+
+::
+
+ <job name>
+ <build>
+ <metadata>
+ <suites>
+ <tests>
+
+"job name", "build", "metadata", "suites", "tests" are indexes to access the
+data. For example:
+
+::
+
+ data =
+
+ job 1 name:
+ build 1:
+ metadata: metadata
+ suites: suites
+ tests: tests
+ ...
+ build N:
+ metadata: metadata
+ suites: suites
+ tests: tests
+ ...
+ job M name:
+ build 1:
+ metadata: metadata
+ suites: suites
+ tests: tests
+ ...
+ build N:
+ metadata: metadata
+ suites: suites
+ tests: tests
+
+Using indexes data["job 1 name"]["build 1"]["tests"] (e.g.:
+data["csit-vpp-perf-1704-all"]["17"]["tests"]) we get a list of all tests with
+all tests data.
+
+Data will not be accessible directly using indexes, but using getters and
+filters.

+
+Data filtering
+``````````````
+
+The first step when generating an element is getting the data needed to
+construct the element. The data are filtered from the processed input data.
+
+The data filtering is based on:
+
+ - job name(s).
+ - build number(s).
+ - tag(s).
+ - required data - only this data is included in the output.
+
+WARNING: The filtering is based on tags, so be careful with tagging.
+
+For example, the element which specification includes:
+
+::
+
+ data:
+ csit-vpp-perf-1707-all:
+ - 9
+ - 10
+ - 13
+ - 14
+ - 15
+ - 16
+ - 17
+ - 18
+ - 19
+ - 21
+ filter:
+ - "'64B' and 'BASE' and 'NDRDISC' and '1T1C' and ('L2BDMACSTAT' or 'L2BDMACLRN' or 'L2XCFWD') and not 'VHOST'"
+
+will be constructed using data from the job "csit-vpp-perf-1707-all", for all
+listed builds and the tests with the list of tags matching the filter
+conditions.
+
+The output data structure for filtered test data is:
+
+::
+
+ - job 1
+ - build 1
+ - test 1
+ - parameter 1
+ - parameter 2
+ ...
+ - parameter n
+ ...
+ - test n
+ ...
+ ...
+ - build n

+Throughput Speedup Analysis - Multi-Core with Multi-Threading
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Throughput Speedup Analysis (TSA) calculates throughput speedup ratios
+for tested 1-, 2- and 4-core multi-threaded VPP configurations using the
+following formula:
+
+::
+
+ N_core_throughput
+ N_core_throughput_speedup = -----------------
+ 1_core_throughput
+
+Multi-core throughput speedup ratios are plotted in grouped bar graphs
+for throughput tests with 64B/78B frame size, with number of cores on
+X-axis and speedup ratio on Y-axis.
+
+For better comparison multiple test results' data sets are plotted per
+each graph:
+
+ - graph type: grouped bars;
+ - graph X-axis: (testcase index, number of cores);
+ - graph Y-axis: speedup factor.
+
+Subset of existing performance tests is covered by TSA graphs.
+
+**Model for TSA:**

+
+Comparison of results from two sets of the same test executions
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This algorithm enables comparison of results coming from two sets of the
+same test executions. It is used to quantify performance changes across
+all tests after test environment changes e.g. Operating System
+upgrades/patches, Hardware changes.
+
+It is assumed that each set of test executions includes multiple runs
+of the same tests, 10 or more, to verify test results repeatibility and
+to yield statistically meaningful results data.
+
+Comparison results are presented in a table with a specified number of
+the best and the worst relative changes between the two sets. Following table
+columns are defined:
+
+ - name of the test;
+ - throughput mean values of the reference set;
+ - throughput standard deviation of the reference set;
+ - throughput mean values of the set to compare;
+ - throughput standard deviation of the set to compare;
+ - relative change of the mean values.
+
+**The model**
+
+The model specifies:
+
+ - type: "table" - means this section defines a table.
+ - title: Title of the table.
+ - algorithm: Algorithm which is used to generate the table. The other
+ parameters in this section must provide all information needed by the used
+ algorithm.
+ - output-file-ext: Extension of the output file.
+ - output-file: File which the table will be written to.
+ - reference - the builds which are used as the reference for comparison.
+ - compare - the builds which are compared to the reference.
+ - data: Specify the sources, jobs and builds, providing data for generating
+ the table.
+ - filter: Filter based on tags applied on the input data, if "template" is
+ used, filtering is based on the template.
+ - parameters: Only these parameters will be put to the output data
+ structure.
+ - nr-of-tests-shown: Number of the best and the worst tests presented in the
+ table. Use 0 (zero) to present all tests.
+
+*Example:*
+
+::
+
+ -
+ type: "table"
+ title: "Performance comparison"
+ algorithm: "table_performance_comparison"
+ output-file-ext: ".csv"
+ output-file: "{DIR[DTR,PERF,VPP,IMPRV]}/vpp_performance_comparison"

+
+Advanced data analytics
+```````````````````````
+
+In the future advanced data analytics (ADA) will be added to analyze the
+telemetry data collected from SUT telemetry sources and correlate it to
+performance test results.
+
+:TODO:
+
+ - describe the concept of ADA.
+ - add specification.
+
+
+Data presentation
+-----------------
+
+Generates the plots and tables according to the report models per
+specification file. The elements are generated using algorithms and data
+specified in their models.
+
+
+Tables
+``````
+
+ - tables are generated by algorithms implemented in PAL, the model includes the
+ algorithm and all necessary information.
+ - output format: csv
+ - generated tables are stored in specified directories and linked to .rst
+ files.
+
+
+Plots
+`````
+
+ - `plot.ly <https://plot.ly/>`_ is currently used to generate plots, the model
+ includes the type of plot and all the necessary information to render it.
+ - output format: html.
+ - generated plots are stored in specified directories and linked to .rst files.
+
+
+Report generation
+-----------------
+
+Report is generated using Sphinx and Read_the_Docs template. PAL generates html
+and pdf formats. It is possible to define the content of the report by
+specifying the version (TODO: define the names and content of versions).
+
+
+The process
+```````````
+
+1. Read the specification.
+2. Read the input data.
+3. Process the input data.
+4. For element (plot, table, file) defined in specification:
+
+ a. Get the data needed to construct the element using a filter.
+ b. Generate the element.
+ c. Store the element.
+
+5. Generate the report.
+6. Store the report (Nexus).
+
+The process is model driven. The elements' models (tables, plots, files
+and report itself) are defined in the specification file. Script reads
+the elements' models from specification file and generates the elements.
+
+It is easy to add elements to be generated in the report. If a new type
+of an element is required, only a new algorithm needs to be implemented
+and integrated.
+
+
+Continuous Performance Measurements and Trending
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Performance analysis and trending execution sequence:
+`````````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+CSIT PA runs performance analysis, change detection and trending using specified
+trend analysis metrics over the rolling window of last <N> sets of historical
+measurement data. PA is defined as follows:
+
+ #. PA job triggers:
+
+ #. By PT job at its completion.
+ #. Manually from Jenkins UI.
+
+ #. Download and parse archived historical data and the new data:
+
+ #. New data from latest PT job is evaluated against the rolling window
+ of <N> sets of historical data.
+ #. Download RF output.xml files and compressed archived data.
+ #. Parse out the data filtering test cases listed in PA specification
+ (part of CSIT PAL specification file).
+
+ #. Calculate trend metrics for the rolling window of <N> sets of historical data:
+
+ #. Calculate quartiles Q1, Q2, Q3.
+ #. Trim outliers using IQR.
+ #. Calculate TMA and TMSD.
+ #. Calculate normal trending range per test case based on TMA and TMSD.
+
+ #. Evaluate new test data against trend metrics:
+
+ #. If within the range of (TMA +/- 3*TMSD) => Result = Pass,
+ Reason = Normal.
+ #. If below the range => Result = Fail, Reason = Regression.
+ #. If above the range => Result = Pass, Reason = Progression.
+
+ #. Generate and publish results
+
+ #. Relay evaluation result to job result.
+ #. Generate a new set of trend analysis summary graphs and drill-down
+ graphs.
+
+ #. Summary graphs to include measured values with Normal,
+ Progression and Regression markers. MM shown in the background if
+ possible.
+ #. Drill-down graphs to include MM, TMA and TMSD.
+
+ #. Publish trend analysis graphs in html format on
+ https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/trending/.

+How to add an element
+`````````````````````
+
+Element can be added by adding it's model to the specification file. If
+the element is to be generated by an existing algorithm, only it's
+parameters must be set.
+
+If a brand new type of element needs to be added, also the algorithm
+must be implemented. Element generation algorithms are implemented in
+the files with names starting with "generator" prefix. The name of the
+function implementing the algorithm and the name of algorithm in the
+specification file have to be the same.
