Use case goals
Showcase ONAP features capabilities
A use case should demonstrate how NFV orchestration and lifecycle life cycle management can be performed using ONAP
- Provide functional requirements to ONAP projects
Project functional requirements for each release will be derived from the approved use cases
- Provide a common set of test cases for ONAP releases
The release test cases should be derived from the use cases
...
Operators and vendors building their own use cases may refer to the ONAP use cases to get an idea of the proper usage of ONAP features
