intel-nfv-ci-tests
A Tempest plugin providing integration tests for NFV features.
This plugin is run as part of the Intel NFV third-party CI.
Features
The tests validate the following features:
- NUMA topologies
- CPU pinning
- Hugepages
Requirements
The features tested are all dependent on underlying hardware support. As such, the following platform features are required:
- Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) technology, e.g. Hyper-threading, must be available and enabled
- A NUMA topology is required. This will generally mean a dual-socket board or a CPU with Cluster-on-Die technology
- Hugepages must be supported
Installation
The plugin should be installed like any other package. Once installed, it will be detected on subsequent runs of Temptest and enabled by default.
At the command line, run:
$ pip install intel-nfv-ci-tests
Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed, run:
$ mkvirtualenv intel-nfv-ci-tests
$ pip install intel-nfv-ci-tests
Be aware that this package will not be available if running Tempest in a different virtualenv, e.g. via a Tox target.
Usage
All test commands should be run from the Tempest install directory,
e.g. /opt/stack/tempest
.
To list all Intel NFV CI tempest cases, run:
$ testr list-tests intel_nfv_ci_tests
To run only these tests, run:
$ ./run_tempest.sh -N -- intel_nfv_ci_tests
Alternatively, run via testr
:
$ testr run intel_nfv_ci_tests
Or via tox:
$ tox -e all-plugin intel_nfv_ci_tests
To run a single test case, run with test case name:
$ ./run_tempest.sh -N -- intel_nfv_ci_tests.tests.scenario.test_hugepages.TestHugepages
