vnetinfra1609 draft

**DRAFT - WORK IN PROGRESS - PLEASE TREAT IT AS SUCH **

CSIT development plan - background

CSIT test development priorities are aligned with VPP releases timeline, with relative dev work prioritization for each VPP release driven by perceived importance of test verification for VPP functionality and performance. Specific CSIT dev work priorities are driven by rough consensus within the project and contributors and committers availability and willingness to do work.

Following priority tagging scheme is used in this CSIT wiki and FD.io jira for CSIT:

• [$VppRlsNo-$RelPrio]

  • VppRlsNo - aligned VPP release number - 16.09, 16.12, 17.03.
  • RelPrio - CSIT release priority - P0 for Must Have, P1 for Should Have, P2 for Could Have

• CSIT dev work tagging examples:

  • [1609-P0] - CSIT Must Have for vpp-v1609
  • [1609-P1] - CSIT Should Have for vpp-v1609
  • [1609-P2] - CSIT Could Have for vpp-v1609

CSIT dev work plan execution tracked on CSIT jira, with priority tags encoded as Jira labels for easy of tracking and reporting.
