[ovs-discuss] Smoke testing OVS

[Finucane, Stephen]

Hi,

Is there a recommended approach to smoke/system testing OVS? By smoke testing I mean starting the daemon ('ovs-vswitchd'), adding interfaces/flows ('ovs-vsctl'/'ovs-ofctl'), sending some validation traffic and validating output ('ovs-ofctl'?)? I'm aware of the unit tests (unit testing) and OFTest (Conformance/Acceptance testing?), but I'm unsure how one could, for example, validate that 'ovs-vsctl' actually does what it's supposed to do?

Regards,
Stephen
