A common template for test description will provide consistency in the information provided for testing the VNFs

The template should be documented in the VNFRQTS Project on the [documentation page|https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Document+Outlines+for+VNF+Requirements+Deliverables]. An .rst format file attachment would also be useful. 

This material should reside in the vnfrqts/testcases repo

In Read the docs, the material should appear as:

• VNF Guidelines Documentation
  • VNF Guidelines
• VNF Requirements Documentation
  • 1. Purpose
  • 2. Scope
  • 3. Introduction
  • 4. VNF Development Requirements
  • 5. VNF Modeling Requirements
  • 6. Infrastructure Requirements
  • 7. ONAP Management Requirements
  • 8. Appendix
• VNF Test Case Descriptions
  • VNF Package Test Cases

There should be two test cases and two appendices :

(A)

1. Title: VNF Package Information Element Present
2. Summary: This test case validates whether information elements corresponding to VNF requirements are present in the VNF Package
3. ONAP Actors (VNF, Operator, ONAP Platform components etc.)
   1. VNF Package
   2. VNF Requirements
   3. ONAP Information Model
4. Preconditions (ONAP, VNF states, test equipment/ data patterns, measurements) 
   1. VNF Package available
   2. VNF Requirements related to VNF Package identified (Mandatory or Optional)
   3. Information Elements corresponding to these VNF Package requirements identified
5. Operational sequence (e.g. Message Sequence chart + text explanations) 
   1. Search the VNF Package for the Presence/ Absence of each Information Element identified in the VNF Package requirements. 
   2. Flag as an error any Mandatory information Elements that are missing
   3. Report and optional Information Elements that are present. 
6. Post conditions (any post processing of the measurements, any cleanup of the ONAP configuration, reset of the test equipment etc.)
   1. generate consolidated report on presence/Absence of Information Elements identified in VNF Requirements.
7. Test Result decision ( measurement  decision criteria )
   1. Fail if and Mandatory Information Elements are Absent.

(B)

1. Title: VNF Package Information Element within Range Limits
2. Summary: This test case validates whether information elements corresponding to VNF requirements are present in the VNF Package
3. ONAP Actors (VNF, Operator, ONAP Platform components etc.)
   1. VNF Package
   2. VNF Requirements
   3. ONAP Information Model
4. Preconditions (ONAP, VNF states, test equipment/ data patterns, measurements) 
   1. VNF Package available
   2. VNF Requirements related to VNF Package identified (Mandatory or Optional)
   3. Information Elements corresponding to these VNF Package requirements identified
   4. Range Limits for Information Elements identified
5. Operational sequence (e.g. Message Sequence chart + text explanations) 
   1. Search the VNF Package for  each Information Element identified in the VNF Package requirement with identified range limits
   2. Flag as an error any  information Elements that exceed the range limits
6. Post conditions (any post processing of the measurements, any cleanup of the ONAP configuration, reset of the test equipment etc.)

1. 1. generate consolidated report on range limits of Information Elements identified in VNF Requirements.
2. Test Result decision ( measurement  decision criteria )

1. 1. Fail if any Information Elements exceed identified range limits.
