Project Name: Policy Framework Project
Project Description:
The Policy subsystem of ONAP maintains, distributes, and operates on the set of rules that underlie ONAP’s control, orchestration, and management functions. Policy provides a centralized environment for the creation and management of easily-updatable conditional rules. It enables users to validate policies and rules, identify and resolve overlaps and conflicts, and derive additional policies where needed. Policies can support infrastructure, products and services, operation automation, and security. Users, who can be a variety of stakeholders such as network and service designers, operations engineers, and security experts, can easily create, change, and manage policy rules.

Integration Testing Support
The Policy Team supports the Integration vFirewall Use Case Testing every release and contributes changes to the Integration Robot Framework and Testsuite when updates are necessary.
Some example JIRA's for this:
INT-319 - Getting issue details... STATUS
INT-445 - Getting issue details... STATUS
INT-1350 - Getting issue details... STATUS
integration/oparent support
Policy team members support the Integration oparent project, our main policy/parent integration pom.xml inherits from the latest artifact produced by Integration.
Team actively supports oparent checkstyle in all our repos.
In addition, our ci-management verify jobs are configured to fail on any checkstyle violation vs the default 'warn' only. Thus, adhering to a more strict enforcement of integration code style rules.
