Testing Guide

We use two open source test tools to test Trellis behavior.

• Data Plane Testing - OFTest

  We use OFTest to verify the behavior of a hardware switch is the same as described in the OF-DPA specification.

  This tool was originally developed by Big Switch and later modified by Accton.

  The test cases for verifying OF-DPA behavior were written by ONF.

  To learn more about OFTest and how we use it for OF-DPA verification, please visit Data Plane Testing.

• Control Plane Testing - TestON

  We use TestON to verify the Trellis control application behavior when used for a leaf-spine fabric.

  These tests are merged into ONOS test repository and run nightly.
