Executive summary The present document studies how interoperability test methodology can be applied to NFV by analysing some of the core NFV capabilities and the interactions between the functional blocks defined within the NFV architectural framework required to enable them. Introductio
23、n The present document provides methodology guidelines for interoperability testing of NFV features, starting from a review of some basic concepts for interoperability testing and their fit in an NFV environment and a methodology for the development of interoperability test specifications illustrate
24、d with examples of basic NFV operations. A high level analysis of some core NFV capabilities allows to identify a generic architecture for the associated System Under Test configurations, and to classify some initial Interoperability Feature areas. The present document is organized as follows: Claus
25、e 4 provides an overview of common interoperability concepts and testing methodology guidelines. Clause 5 identifies a generic system under test (SUT) architecture and some initial SUT configurations for interoperability testing of basic NFV capabilities. Clause 6 identifies and analyses some initia
26、l NFV interoperability feature areas and outlines for each of them the impacted functional blocks and interfaces, as well as the applicable SUT configurations described in clause 5. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-TST 002 V1.1.1 (2016-10)6 1 Scope The present document provides some guidelines for NFV interoperabil
27、ity testing and identifies a generic System Under Test (SUT) architecture for NFV, some initial SUT configurations, and some interoperability feature areas derived from core NFV capabilities. 2 References 2.1 Normative references References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/

41、.1 Introduction Well established test methodology like ETSI EG 202 237 i.2 and ETSI EG 202 568 i.3 describe two main and complementary ways of testing devices implementing standardized services, which each have benefits and limitations: Conformance Testing can show that a product correctly implement
42、s a particular standard, that is, it establishes whether or not the Implementation Under Test (IUT) meets the requirements specified by the standard. For example, it will test protocol message contents and format as well as the permitted sequences of messages. In this context: - There is only one Im
43、plementation Under Test, which is part of the System Under Test. - Tests are performed at open standardized interfaces which might not be accessible to an end user, and executed by a dedicated test system that has full control of the System Under Test and the ability to observe all incoming and out
44、coming communications. - The high degree of control of the test system over the sequence and contents of the protocol messages allows to test both valid and invalid behaviour. Figure 1: Conformance testing Interoperability Testing can demonstrate that a product will work with other like products: it
45、 proves that end-to-end functionality between (at least) two functions is as required by the standard(s) on which those functions are based. In this context: - The System Under Test (SUT) is made of the combination of different Functions Under Test (FUT) coming from different suppliers. - Interopera
46、bility tests are based on functionality as experienced by a user, where the user may be human or a software application. - Tests are performed and observed at functional interfaces such as Man-Machine Interfaces (MMIs), protocol service interfaces and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). - Tes
47、ting at functional interfaces implies that interoperability tests can only describe functional behaviour and sometimes it might not be possible to trigger or test protocol error behaviour on the interface(s) among the FUTs. Figure 2: Interoperability testing NOTE: The concept of Function Under Test
48、used in the present document corresponds to the concept of Device Under Test (DUT) introduced in ETSI EG 202 568 i.3. ETSI ETSI GS NFV-TST 002 V1.1.1 (2016-10)9 Conformance testing in conjunction with interoperability testing provides both the proof of conformance and the guarantee of interoperation
49、. ETSI EG 202 237 i.2 and ETSI EG 202 568 i.3 describe several approaches on how to combine the two methods, the most common one being Interoperability Testing with Conformance Checks, where reference points between the FUTs are monitored to verify the appropriate sequence and contents of protocol messages, API calls, interface operations, etc. Clauses 4.2 to 4.4 provide an overview of the main concepts and practices associated with interoperability testing. The intention is to develop simple and pragmatic guidelines that can be
