Container4NFV
High Availability
IPv6
KVM
Parser
StorPerf
VSperf
The Yardstick framework is developed in the OPNFV community, by the Yardstick team.
Note
The test case description template used for the Yardstick test cases is based on the document ETSI-ISG NFV-TST001; the results report template used for the Yardstick results is based on the IEEE Std 829-2008.

1.1.6.3. New Test cases¶
opnfv_yardstick_tc015: Processing speed with impact on energy consumption and CPU load.
The purpose of TC015 is to evaluate the IaaS compute performance with regards to CPU processing speed with its impact on the energy consumption. It measures score of single cpu running and parallel running. Energy consumption and cpu load are monitored while the cpu test is running. The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for comparison reasons and product evolution understanding between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations, different server types.
