DPDK Test Suite 1.0 Release Announcement

We are very pleased to announce that DPDK Test Suite 1.0 (DTS) is released 
by intel now. DTS is an automation test tool for DPDK software, a python-base 
library. It can run on remote tester machine, and communicate/manage test device
by SSH connection. This tool also supports different kinds of traffic generators,
including DPDK-based PacketGen, third-party professional tester equipment(IXIA).

DTS is composes of one set of test cases and automation test framework. Since 
Based on DTS, DPDK developers and testers can build their test cases and 
verify their patches with these function test. It only requires less effort 
to maintain test cases once merged into DTS. Since DPDK Test Suite is an open 
source test tool, Everyone can utilize DTS to measure performance and 
functionality for features. 

In the future, we will continue to upgrade DPDK Test Suite to support DPDK 
software package based on DPDK release timeline, and provide stable version 
for each DPDK formal release. Currently, DPDK Test Suite 1.0 will support 
the latest DPDK release version 1.8. 

You can download latest DPDK test suite from the following link:

In addition, one mailing list was created as dts@dpdk.org. This mailing list is 
used to post regression test report for DPDK software, answer questions 
about DTS, and receive patches for DPDK Test Suite. Also you can discuss 
issues and seek for validate solution of DPDK features with this mailing list.
Marvin Liu(Yong.liu@intel.com)from Intel will maintain DPDK Test Suite code,
