> OVS Tests:
> - Tests are running on Intel machines. Mellanox setup is in progress.
> - Tests are run whenever DPDK master is updated, not per patch set, because the tests take ~4 hours.

It defeats the initial goal of avoiding breaks.
Why is it taking to long?
Can we have a shorter test?

> Testing is against the DPDK latest branch in OVS.
> - Test results are in the dashboard under the tarballs tab. Once the test setup is complete, we can look at how to make these more readable/more visible.

It would be more visible if test is per patchset, integrated in patchwork.

> - At the moment, test results go to the DPDK patchwork mailing list. We need to look at how to include OVS maintainers in the distribution.
> 
> SPDK Tests:
> - The SPDK team are interested in contributing tests, similar to OVS. This would allow them to identify any compatibility issues earlier, and would give us increased test coverage for DPDK.
> - I'll connect the SPDK team with Jeremy and Lincoln to discuss further.

Please ask them to prepare a short test.
