1. Introduction to OPNFV CVP

2. Introduction to CVP
OPNFV is actively developing a Compliance Verification Program (CVP) that offers compliance verification to commercial products. The first release is based on Danube and to be launched in 2H17.
Service providers and other end users provided important inputs in requirements that helped in shaping the program.
Compliance verification is done through an automated test suite developed by the OPNFV community
Products that pass the CVP compliance verification suite may be labeled as “OPNFV Ready”

3. CVP Objectives and Benefits
Help build the market for
OPNFV-based infrastructure
applications designed to run on that infrastructure
Reduce adoption risks for end-users
Decrease testing costs
Enhance interoperability
Verified products submitted by respective vendors are expected to differentiate themselves with different features and capabilities but remain compliant by implementing explicitly defined interfaces, behaviors, and key features

4. What “OPNFV Ready” means
Products that are “OPNFV Ready”(within the scope of a given release that meet maturity criteria)
Supply the key behaviors, functions, and related APIs of the OPNFV release
Promote the key values of the OPNFV release, e.g. based upon the open source project components that comprise the OPNFV release
Perform basic NFV functions
Support interoperability between an infrastructure built on the compliant products and applications designed to run on that infrastructure
Are suitable for further trials in an operator network
“OPNFV Ready” does not assert
Readiness for commercial deployment

5. First Danube Release and Future Evolution
First release of CVP test suite is being developed based on features and interfaces found in Danube that are generally available in the industry and currently include these areas
Cloud capabilities
VNF life cycle basic functions
Carrier network capabilities
Service availability
The CVP test suite and test tool are still under development in the Dovetail project and to be released 2H17 before launch.

6. First Danube Release and Future Evolution
CVP is an open source community driven program that will evolve over time
Important requirements and feedbacks from operators, EUAG and other end users
Collaboration with upstream communities and standard organizations
New capabilities and new areas of testing are to be introduced in CVP based on community contributions and maturity of those capabilities and areas.

7. Governance C&C Committee, on behalf of the Board of Directors TSC
Defines governance, strategy and overall scope
Administers the program
TSC
Defines and maintains the compliance verification test suite and associated tools
Dovetail is the project delivering the test suite, tools, documentation and processes, leveraging the whole community’s efforts
