Provide an platform where vendor/operator can develop, deploy, run test cases and query the results
Test cases, test results and VNF should be manageable .i,e with authorization, so only user with given roles is allowed to perform operation like
VNF package upload/download, run compliance verification tests, allow only specific VIM for specific users, etc.
Test results should be persisted and should be available for human analysis later via LFN infrastructure.
Provides test flow where author make flow across different test cases for a given program like compliance verification and VNFREQS/SOL0004.
Provide integration with OPNFV dovetail to run test cases across dovetail and VNFSDK.
