MinutesCI Status

   -

   UNH-IOL hosted community lab
   -

      Ticket: 460 Broadcom Setup in the lab, working on solving an
      integration issue with the DTS and automation
      -

      SPDK build failures - Compile failures, need to investigate to if
      this is being caused by an issue with DPDK, or if there is an integration
      issue
      -

      Graffin Dashboard Issue - No data is currently showing up in the
      charts currently. Ali will create a bug to track this.
      -

   Travis CI
   -

      Support believes they have resolved the issue with disk-quotas, which
      seemed to show up more often with multi-arch testing.  We will need to
      monitor this to keep an eye out for other failures.
      -

   Other build services
   -

      Cirrus CI - Aaron has done a little bit of investigation
      -

         Has a few more platforms available (FreeBSD and Windows)
         -

         Not sure about “running code” for unit testing.
         -

         Not as “easy” to use on the configuration file side.
         -

         Redhat interns may be able to take a stab at getting this setup,
         Aaron needs to confirm approval (might take 1 month).
         -

      SUSE Open Build Service - may be allowed to use for unit testing
      -

         ARM is looking at possible integrating this into DPDK patchwork
         -

         Juraj Linkes is looking into it, seems like it could provide
         similar results to Travis.
         -

         Package based (package for each build required)
         -

         Might allow for running unit testing as well, but need to confirm.
         -

         Will have some more information for feedback from the community by
         the next meeting.
         -

      Github Actions
      -

         Not currently being investigated at this time.  Could be used to
         run test cases for pushes / merges to master, but may not
easily integrate
         with per-patch tests (which aren’t pushed up to Github).
         -

      To compare on each of the above options:
      -

         Arch / OS types / coverage
         -

         Compile vs unit testing
         -

         Ability to report to patchworks and reporting format /
         customization
         -

         Code coverage numbers or code line coverage
         -

         Portability (where tests are run)
         -

         Config difficulty
         -

         Support & troubleshooting

Test Development

   -

   The UNH-IOL development team is kicking off this week, to review and
   expand the coverage of the DTS test coverage and deployment/usage in the
   Community Lab.
   -

   The goal is to ensure all test cases are up to date, can be run on
   multiple NICs, and architectures, ensuring coverage of at least 40% of the
   feature list (http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/features.html).
   -

   As test cases are created and vetted, they will be rolled into CI
   testing on the bare-metal systems hosted in the lab.
   -

   Python version target for DTS, we’ll confirm with the DTS maintainer,
   but planning to aim for the latest long term supported version, unless
   there is a really good reason not to.
