Where applicable, external specifications may be referenced to avoid duplication of work. It should be noted that supporting work on the test processes for Software Modification is addres
47、sed by the ETSI NFV Test Working Group (NFV TST). As appropriate, references to the TST work and/or brief descriptions of the developed test processes are provided. An overview of the overall document framework is as follows. Software related to NFV may be of different types. Clause 5.1 refers to th
48、e three working domains identified for NFV in previous work 1 and associates specific software types to these domains. The purpose for delineating these individual software types is to align specific processes or methods that may apply to the modification of each type of software as well as the corr
49、esponding requirements to support such processes. The software types are as follows: Clause 5.1.2 - VNFs that support the full range of Network Services and Applications: note that components comprising a VNF are referred to as VNF Components (VNFC). Thus modifications may be done for individual VNFCs or VNFs. VNF Descriptors and Attributes are included as appropriate.
