- 4. NFV Performance Testing Challenges • Complex SUT configurations are required for optimal performance • Numerous choices are required for test tools as well as test environments • Virtual applications and network NFVI resources may interact • Multi-vendor solutions add to testing complexity • Deployment/orchestration automation impacts performance • Testing methods must be integrated with CI and DevOps Traditional Performance Testing Methods are Useful but Not Sufficient
- 5. “Rules” for Efficient NFV Performance Testing 1. Know yourself … developer, solution architects, user perspectives differ 2. Know your use-case … service and network SLAs define workloads 3. Know your words … metric definitions and test methods impact results 4. Know your friends … OPNFV and other communities can help you
