Description of Use Case / Requirement:

 Support for Test Task Auto Execution （NFV Testing Automatic Platform）:

• Goal-  To achieve a more flexible NFV automated test platform, Test Result Auto Analysis & Certification capability support integration with 3rd party test & certification systems, and provide certified product release markets.
• Business Impact- There are a large number of cross-department and cross-organization communications during the traditional network element, system or equipment network access test. And the manual errors are inevitable, the knowledge in test field cannot be solidified. The cost of each test is high and the test cycle is always long. After introducing NFV, because network element software and hardware equipment are layered decoupled, the introduction of a large number of open source components as well as the frequent upgrade of the software itself, make network access test become more complicated and frequent. Testing has become a bottleneck during the introduction and iteration of new technologies. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce test result auto analysis & certification capability. By introducing test result auto analysis & certification capability and corresponding enhancements, it can provide one-stop service for test certification and issuance, reduce labor costs, improve test efficiency and test accuracy.
• Business Markets- After enabling test result auto analysis & certification capability, CSPs can leverage it to accelerate time to deployment for new network services, improve interoperability and software quality, and reduce in-house testing effort and reduce costs. Vendor can leverage it to deduce the cost of VNF developing, and improve time to revenue for new product offerings, achieve greater alignment with customer requirements from service provider, and demonstrate product quality through open ecosystem testing. Instrument manufacturers can integrate their test tools and test capabilities into this platform, and demonstrate product quality through open ecosystem testing. Integrators can refer to the open source implementation of this platform and provide solutions for their commercial products. At the same time, the realization of this requirement can be combined with OVP's existing processes to accelerate the testing and certification of OVP NFV commercial products.
• Business Funding- The test result auto analysis & certification capability can reduce the labor costs in traditional NFV test process and the R & D costs of NFV commercial products, as well as shorten the benefit reaping period of new products, and improve test efficiency.

Link to HLD/LLD (if any):

• Enhance VNFSDK to support:

1. The test objects that passed test certification are put into marketplace
2. OVP integrates with VTP to automatically receive VTP test results.

• Enable OVP with HTTP API for submit the result
• Enable VTP for result submission into OVP.
