=========================================
CI Status
=========================================
-----------------------------------------
General
-----------------------------------------
* BUG-210 (Patches with dependency fails to apply): Syntax is now official in the documentation, should be possible to update the script to look for / parse this information.
* UNH-IOL will look into implementing this, either in git-pw or as a wrapper to that.
* BUG-511 (Add check if performance tests are needed): This can also be implemented to avoid running unnecessary testing.
* UNH-IOL will look into implementing this.
-----------------------------------------
Travis CI / OBS
-----------------------------------------
* No updates
-----------------------------------------
Intel Lab
-----------------------------------------
* No issues, running for 20.11 release.
* Need to extend the coverage if possible to add more devices / drivers. This would have caught a recent failure within the testpmd component, if additional drivers are being checked. Zhaoyan will discuss internally and come back with a proposed plan.
* Intel is planning to add test cases to the UNH-IOL hosted hardware for crypto and virt-io. Lincoln to work with Zhaoyan on this plan and report back to the group.
-----------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab
-----------------------------------------
* Seeing some apply errors as the branches change rapidly with the 20.11 release prep. We’ve been watching and manually selecting the branch where possible for these cases.
* Working on reliability with DPDK unit testing script
*
https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566 * Making changes to meson compile to reduce amount of false failures reported on the dashboard
* Investigating issue with patch sets not being picked up by the server
* ARM hardware still being set up with DTS/TREX
* Working on migrating rte_flow functional test into production systems
* Reporting format
* Desire to have the last N lines of the console log included in the email report, this will make it easier to debug quickly. We’ll file a bug on this item to track this. Plan to launch this after the 20.11 release is completed. (See BUG-569).
=========================================
Test Development
=========================================
* rte_flow was completed and merged into the DTS main branch.
* Future Work
* DTS Feedback - Some initial (rough draft) user and developer feedback has been captured here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c5S0_mZzFvzZfYkqyORLT2-qNvUb-fBdjA6DGusy4yM/edit Tech board is looking into DTS as a priority for 2021, and this feedback is extremely valuable to that process. Please contribute! A lot of the devs are very busy with the 20.11 release, so we’ll keep reminding this over the next few meetings, so we don’t forget.

Any other business

* Next Meeting: November 19, 2020
