   Review/Carry forward pending action items

MinutesMerging DTS into DPDK - Current Status

   -

   Logger - 2 log types - One for human readability, one for debugging DTS
   failures for automated processing. Owen/Juraj will work on a patch for the
   future-dts gitlab repo.
   -

   It should be possible to run functional and performance tests in the
   same execution of the DTS.
   -

   Scapy traffic generator patch is ready. We can send it to the DPDK
   community for review
   -

   Juraj will continue to work on the ‘hello world test case’ patch. - In
   Progress
   -

   Smoke tests to validate the test setup will be another patch series.
   This has a dependency on the hello world patch.


Community Engagement

   -

   Try to get information from vendors so that DTS can replace internal
   test harnesses
   -

      Owen can act as a place to share information that vendors don’t want
      to be public but is needed for DTS to replace an internal test harness
      -

      Ask vendors what they would like us to do for visibility
      -

         Tag specific people in the update emails?
         -

         Send out the link again?
         -

   Developer survey

      Programming languages

      Paradigms (OOP, Functional, Procedural)

Review Action Items

   -

   Lijuan - To create the DTS test suite developer document.

The documentation needs to be based on the changes being done in the
future-dts branch. It is better to write this document incrementally as the
new patches are sent out. The ‘SSH connection’ patch is self explanatory
and does not need documentation. But the documentation would be introduced
with ‘hello world test case patch’. - Blocked until hello world test case
is submitted

   -

   Owen/Honnappa - Communication on the future-dts branch to DTS community
   - Will happen through the presentation at DPDK summit
   -

   Owen - Add gitlab runner to run devtools for dts on MRs
   -

   Owen - Make vscode mount the DPDK directory, not the DTS directory, so
   that it includes .git

Action Items

   -

   Honnappa - Patches to DPDK to address DPDK modifications that DTS does.
   -

   Honnappa - Review the must have list from
   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s_Y3Ph1sVptYs6YjOxkUI8rVzrPFGpTZzd75gkpgIXY/edit#gid=1128536548
   to ensure correct priority
   -

   Owen - devtools scripts - Work on feedback
   -

   Owen/Honnappa - Communication on the future-dts branch to DTS community
   - Will happen through the DPDK summit presentation
   -

   All - Review Juraj’s email about the DTS user guide, the email is old,
   so changing the definitions should also be included. - Done
   -

   Juraj will continue to work on the ‘hello world test case’ patch. - In
   Progress
   -

   Owen - The next step is to create smoke tests to validate the test
   setup. The traffic generator abstract APIs can be used in smoke tests. -
   Blocked by hello world
   -

   Owen - Send Scapy traffic generator patch to DPDK community - In progress
   -

   Honnappa - Send out an email to various company representatives to
   review DTS patches in the community

Any other business
