Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Basics: Basic project website content | |||
The information on how to contribute MUST include the requirements for acceptable contributions (e.g., a reference to any required coding standard). (URL required) [contribution_requirements] | *ONAP project common response* ONAP has Developer Best Practices, so click on Met and add a reference. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Basics: Project oversight | |||
The project SHOULD have a legal mechanism where all developers of non-trivial amounts of project software assert that they are legally authorized to make these contributions. The most common and easily-implemented approach for doing this is by using a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO), where users add "signed-off-by" in their commits and the project links to the DCO website. However, this MAY be implemented as a Contributor License Agreement (CLA), or other legal mechanism. (URL required) [dco] | *ONAP project common response* This question can be answered the same ONAP-wide. | ONAP requires both a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO), and a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). | |
The project MUST clearly define and document its project governance model (the way it makes decisions, including key roles). (URL required) [governance] | *ONAP project common response* This question can be answered the same ONAP-wide. | The project governance is described at https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Community+Offices+and+Governance Further information can be found at https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/ONAP+Technical+Community+Document | |
The project MUST adopt a code of conduct and post it in a standard location. (URL required) [code_of_conduct] | *ONAP project common response* This question can be answered the same ONAP-wide. ONAP adheres to the Linux Foundation Code of Conduct, so you can just select the Met radio button. | ONAP adheres to the Linux Foundation Code of Conduct, found at https://lfprojects.org/policies/code-of-conduct/ | |
The project MUST clearly define and publicly document the key roles in the project and their responsibilities, including any tasks those roles must perform. It MUST be clear who has which role(s), though this might not be documented in the same way. (URL required) [roles_responsibilities] | *ONAP project common response* This question can be answered the same ONAP-wide. | The key roles in the project and their responsibilities are described at https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Community+Offices+and+Governance Current members are listed at | |
The project MUST be able to continue with minimal interruption if any one person is incapacitated or killed. In particular, the project MUST be able to create and close issues, accept proposed changes, and release versions of software, within a week of confirmation that an individual is incapacitated or killed. This MAY be done by ensuring someone else has any necessary keys, passwords, and legal rights to continue the project. Individuals who run a FLOSS project MAY do this by providing keys in a lockbox and a will providing any needed legal rights (e.g., for DNS names). (URL required) [access_continuity] | ONAP uses the Linux Foundation structure to support all projects, including all keys and passwords. Nothing, including all legal rights, is invested in any single person. | For AAI-UI we have 4 committers and multiple contributes who are listed in | |
The project SHOULD have a "bus factor" of 2 or more. (URL required) [bus_factor] | All the projects covered in this report have more than 2 persons who actively contribute and maintain code. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Basics: Documentation | |||
The project MUST have a documented roadmap that describes what the project intends to do and not do for at least the next year. (URL required) [documentation_roadmap] | This should be answered on a per-project basis. | Road map for AAI can be found in | |
The project MUST include documentation of the architecture (aka high-level design) of the software produced by the project. If the project does not produce software, select "not applicable" (N/A). (URL required) [documentation_architecture] | This should be answered on a per-project basis. | Architecture of AAI can be found in https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1015836 | |
The project MUST document what the user can and cannot expect in terms of security from the software produced by the project (its "security requirements"). (URL required) [documentation_security] | This should be answered on a per-project basis. | Point to a security overview on wiki.onap.org. | |
The project MUST provide a "quick start" guide for new users to help them quickly do something with the software. (URL required) [documentation_quick_start] | *ONAP project common response* This question can be answered the same ONAP-wide. | Information on setting up ONAP can be found athttps://onap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/onap-developer/settingup/index.html | |
The project MUST make an effort to keep the documentation consistent with the current version of the project results (including software produced by the project). Any known documentation defects making it inconsistent MUST be fixed. If the documentation is generally current, but erroneously includes some older information that is no longer true, just treat that as a defect, then track and fix as usual. [documentation_current] | *ONAP project common response* | Documentation is updated with each release. | |
The project repository front page and/or website MUST identify and hyperlink to any achievements, including this best practices badge, within 48 hours of public recognition that the achievement has been attained. (URL required) [documentation_achievements] | What is neededYou will have to add the image and the link to the CII badging to your projects. Both you will need your project-idenfier information for that. How to retrieve your project identifiereg for the project AAI-UI the CII link is https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/1737 And the project identifier is 1737 How to generate 2 urlsTo add the link and image you will need 2 URL's both are relative to your specific project eg Image: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/1737/badge Link: https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/1737 Examples for diff types of readmeOnce you have this information you will need to add them to your readme file. The readme files are in different formats.

Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Basics: Accessibility and internationalization | |||
The project (both project sites and project results) SHOULD follow accessibility best practices so that persons with disabilities can still participate in the project and use the project results where it is reasonable to do so. [accessibility_best_practices] | Any UI based project should would need to consider Accessibility and internalization. Resourceshttp://brebru.com/css/accessibility.html https://achecker.ca/checker/index.php | The following projects do not have any user interface. They all expose API's and fulfill a contract https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/router-core.git;a=blob;f=License.txt;h=c97ccb2ef72c2f18a5299fa8e8c380e01fcc109a;hb=refs/heads/master | |
The software produced by the project SHOULD be internationalized to enable easy localization for the target audience's culture, region, or language. If internationalization (i18n) does not apply (e.g., the software doesn't generate text intended for end-users and doesn't sort human-readable text), select "not applicable" (N/A). [internationalization] | The following projects do not have any user interface. They all expose API's and fulfill a contract https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/router-core.git;a=blob;f=License.txt;h=c97ccb2ef72c2f18a5299fa8e8c380e01fcc109a;hb=refs/heads/master | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Basics: Other | |||
If the project sites (website, repository, and download URLs) store passwords for authentication of external users, the passwords MUST be stored as iterated hashes with a per-user salt by using a key stretching (iterated) algorithm (e.g., PBKDF2, Bcrypt or Scrypt). If the project sites do not store passwords for this purpose, select "not applicable" (N/A). [sites_password_security] | *ONAP project common response* | Mark this as N/A. The project does not store passwords in the website, repository or downloads, but uses the Linux Foundation common login service. | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Change Control: Previous versions | |||
The project MUST maintain the most often used older versions of the product or provide an upgrade path to newer versions. If the upgrade path is difficult, the project MUST document how to perform the upgrade (e.g., the interfaces that have changed and detailed suggested steps to help upgrade). [maintenance_or_update] | *ONAP project common response* | All major releases are tagged in gerrit and the artifacts are stored with the release information on onap.nexus. So we can access all old versions of the artifact. If and when a upgrade requires certain steps to be followed they are being added to the release documents as needed | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Reporting: Bug-reporting process | |||
The project MUST use an issue tracker for tracking individual issues. [report_tracker] | *ONAP project common response* This is a question that changed from a SHOULD in the previous level to a MUST at this level. ONAP uses JIRA, so click Met. (It should be filled in already from the previous level.) | Jira is used to track issues. https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Tracking+Issues+with+JIRA | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Change Control: Vulnerability report process | |||
The project MUST give credit to the reporter(s) of all vulnerability reports resolved in the last 12 months, except for the reporter(s) who request anonymity. If there have been no vulnerabilities resolved in the last 12 months, select "not applicable" (N/A). (URL required) [vulnerability_report_credit] | *ONAP project common response* ONAP-Wide | Vulnerabilities can be reported using the link | |
The project MUST have a documented process for responding to vulnerability reports. (URL required) [vulnerability_response_process] | *ONAP project common response* ONAP-WIDE | Vulnerabilities handling is documented in | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Coding standards | |||
The project MUST identify the specific coding style guides for the primary languages it uses, and require that contributions generally comply with it. (URL required) [coding_standards] | *ONAP project common response* ONAP-WIDE | Coding style is defined in | |
The project MUST automatically enforce its selected coding style(s) if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can do so in the selected language(s). [coding_standards_enforced] | For sparky-fe we use eslint to force code styling. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Working build system | |||
---|---|---|---|
Build systems for native binaries MUST honor the relevant compiler and linker (environment) variables passed in to them (e.g., CC, CFLAGS, CXX, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS) and pass them to compiler and linker invocations. A build system MAY extend them with additional flags; it MUST NOT simply replace provided values with its own. If no native binaries are being generated, select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_standard_variables] | The application does not create native binaries. (Some of the libraries it depends on do, but those are external.) | ||
The build and installation system SHOULD preserve debugging information if they are requested in the relevant flags (e.g., "install -s" is not used). If there is no build or installation system (e.g., typical JavaScript libraries), select "not applicable" (N/A).[build_preserve_debug] | The application does not create native binaries. (Some of the libraries it depends on do, but those are external.) | ||
The build system for the software produced by the project MUST NOT recursively build subdirectories if there are cross-dependencies in the subdirectories. If there is no build or installation system (e.g., typical JavaScript libraries), select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_non_recursive] | The application does not create native binaries. (Some of the libraries it depends on do, but those are external.) | ||
The project MUST be able to repeat the process of generating information from source files and get exactly the same bit-for-bit result. If no building occurs (e.g., scripting languages where the source code is used directly instead of being compiled), select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_repeatable] | All releases are tagged in gerrit(git), and the builds are controlled using jenkins. By providing the git tag information the same image can be build over and over again with same bit-for-bit result. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Installation system | |||
The project MUST provide a way to easily install and uninstall the software produced by the project using a commonly-used convention. [installation_common] | All packages are delivered either as an jar artifact or a docker image. | ||
The installation system for end-users MUST honor standard conventions for selecting the location where built artifacts are written to at installation time. For example, if it installs files on a POSIX system it MUST honor the DESTDIR environment variable. If there is no installation system or no standard convention, select "not applicable" (N/A). [installation_standard_variables] | The compiled docker images and jar files can be installed/used as the user sees fit. Both run on JVM or docker. So there is no reason to selecting locations etc. | ||
The project MUST provide a way for potential developers to quickly install all the project results and support environment necessary to make changes, including the tests and test environment. This MUST be performed with a commonly-used convention. [installation_development_quick] | *ONAP project common response* | All the components require only java and maven to begin with for a developer to quickly install and test it. | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Externally-maintained components | |||
The project MUST list external dependencies in a computer-processable way. (URL required) [external_dependencies] | External dependencies are controlled using the pom file, which can be found in the root folder for the projects https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/sparky-be.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=refs/heads/master | ||
Projects MUST monitor or periodically check their external dependencies (including convenience copies) to detect known vulnerabilities, and fix exploitable vulnerabilities or verify them as unexploitable. [dependency_monitoring] | *ONAP project common response* | NexusIQ sonar scan is run on all the projects on a weekly basis | |
The project MUST either:
| *ONAP project common response* | External components are maintained through Maven. The user can get a list of all included components using the maven dependency tree and can update or reuse as they see fit | |
The project SHOULD avoid using deprecated or obsolete functions and APIs where FLOSS alternatives are available in the set of technology it uses (its "technology stack") and to a supermajority of the users the project supports (so that users have ready access to the alternative). [interfaces_current] | We avoid depending on deprecated/obsolete functions. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Automated test suite | |||
An automated test suite MUST be applied on each check-in to a shared repository for at least one branch. This test suite MUST produce a report on test success or failure. [automated_integration_testing] | *ONAP project common response* | Automatic test suites are run every time before merging the code. The code check in cannot pass with out jenkins posting a +1 on the review. | |
The project MUST add regression tests to an automated test suite for at least 50% of the bugs fixed within the last six months. [regression_tests_added50] | When regressions occur, we add tests for them. | ||
The project MUST have FLOSS automated test suite(s) that provide at least 80% statement coverage if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can measure this criterion in the selected language. [test_statement_coverage80] | We use sonar to measure the code coverage. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: New functionality testing | |||
The project MUST have a formal written policy that as major new functionality is added, tests for the new functionality MUST be added to an automated test suite. [test_policy_mandated] | *ONAP project common response* | Contributing guide lines for development is recorded in | |
The project MUST include, in its documented instructions for change proposals, the policy that tests are to be added for major new functionality. [tests_documented_added] | *ONAP project common response* | This is documented on our wiki: Code Coverage and Static Code Analysis | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Quality: Warning flags | |||
Projects MUST be maximally strict with warnings in the software produced by the project, where practical. | Build systems run the compile with test flag enabled by default. So any failure in test cases will fail the ci and the merge request. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Secure development knowledge | |||
The project MUST implement secure design principles (from "know_secure_design"), where applicable. If the project is not producing software, select "not applicable" (N/A). [implement_secure_design | Todo Even though we can currently say that we implement secure design to the best of our knowledge there is no documentation on the accepted standards so all projects should either have their own guidelines and principles or we need to create a onap-wide page Sample pages https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/security/secure-coding.html https://github.com/coreinfrastructure/best-practices-badge/blob/master/doc/security.md | The project strives to implement secure design principles. | |
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Security: Use basic good cryptographic practices | In general if your product does not deal with any cryptographic mechanism you can select N/A for all the questions in this section. Also on the CII badging page you can see that this option has a button with text "Press here if the software produced by the project does not use cryptographic mechanisms"; clicking on this will select N/A for all the questions in this section | ||
The default security mechanisms within the software produced by the project MUST NOT depend on cryptographic algorithms or modes with known serious weaknesses (e.g., the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm or the CBC mode in SSH).[crypto_weaknesses] | All generated certificates are generated with sha256, and furthermore only JWE approved ciphers are used. | ||
The project SHOULD support multiple cryptographic algorithms, so users can quickly switch if one is broken. Common symmetric key algorithms include AES, Twofish, and Serpent. Common cryptographic hash algorithm alternatives include SHA-2 (including SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 AND SHA-512) and SHA-3. | Certificates are managed through AAF micro-service which will be deployed with ONAP suite | ||
The project MUST support storing authentication credentials (such as passwords and dynamic tokens) and private cryptographic keys in files that are separate from other information (such as configuration files, databases, and logs), and permit users to update and replacement them without code recompilation. If the project never processes authentication credentials and private cryptographic keys, select "not applicable" (N/A). | |||
The software produced by the project SHOULD support secure protocols for all of its network communications, such as SSHv2 or later, TLS1.2 or later (HTTPS), IPsec, SFTP, and SNMPv3. Insecure protocols such as FTP, HTTP, telnet, SSLv3 or earlier, and SSHv1 SHOULD be disabled by default, and only enabled if the user specifically configures it. If the software produced by the project does not support network comunications, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_used_network] | The projects supports secure TLS and HTTPS and Insecure protocols are disabled by default in these applications, they cab be over-ridden by user configuration | ||
The software produced by the project SHOULD, if it supports or uses TLS, support at least TLS version 1.2. Note that the predecessor of TLS was called SSL. If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_tls12] | The products support TLS version 1.2 | ||
The software produced by the project MUST, if it supports TLS, perform TLS certificate verification by default when using TLS, including on subresources. If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_certificate_verification] | Certificate validation is done before answering any calls. | ||
The software produced by the project MUST, if it supports TLS, perform certificate verification before sending HTTP headers with private information (such as secure cookies). If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A).[crypto_verification_private] | The certificate is validated before sending http headers or private information. | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Security: Secure release | |||
The project MUST cryptographically sign releases of the project results intended for widespread use, and there MUST be a documented process explaining to users how they can obtain the public signing keys and verify the signature(s). The private key for these signature(s) MUST NOT be on site(s) used to directly distribute the software to the public. If releases are not intended for widespread use, select "not applicable" (N/A). [signed_releases] | *ONAP project common response* TDB: I think we will have to discuss with LF to see how we can sign out releases and also create a page on onap wiki may be on a per project basis? | All release artifacts are signed by the Linux Foundation prior to release. | |
It is SUGGESTED that in the version control system, each important version tag (a tag that is part of a major release, minor release, or fixes publicly noted vulnerabilities) be cryptographically signed and verifiable as described in signed_releases. [version_tags_signed] | TBD: Need to talk to LF to see how we can sign our tagged releases | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Other Security Issues | |||
The project results MUST check all inputs from potentially untrusted sources to ensure they are valid (a *whitelist*), and reject invalid inputs, if there are any restrictions on the data at all. [input_validation] | The project strives to validate all input to functions. The inputs that are provided to the services are checked against existing models such as OXM or search-abstraction layer and only valid inputs are allowed to be pass through | ||
Hardening mechanisms SHOULD be used in the software produced by the project so that software defects are less likely to result in security vulnerabilities. [hardening] | The project tries to use hardening mechanism whenever possible. Eg we use transaction id for tracking transactions through multiple services and also we use http headers to identify the application where possible | ||
The project MUST provide an assurance case that justifies why its security requirements are met. The assurance case MUST include: a description of the threat model, clear identification of trust boundaries, an argument that secure design principles have been applied, and an argument that common implementation security weaknesses have been countered. (URL required)[assurance_case] | TBD | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Analysis: Static code analysis | |||
The project MUST use at least one static analysis tool with rules or approaches to look for common vulnerabilities in the analyzed language or environment, if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can implement this criterion in the selected language. [static_analysis_common_vulnerabilities] | https://sonar.onap.org | ||
Question | Description | Sample Answer | |
Analysis: Dynamic code analysis | |||
If the software produced by the project includes software written using a memory-unsafe language (e.g., C or C++), then at least one dynamic tool (e.g., a fuzzer or web application scanner) MUST be routinely used in combination with a mechanism to detect memory safety problems such as buffer overwrites. If the project does not produce software written in a memory-unsafe language, choose "not applicable" (N/A). [dynamic_analysis_unsafe] | All the projects use Java which are memory safe that run on JVM. Also the end product runs on a docker container which is run on docker. |
