VF Creation and Testing
=======================
**Goal**: Using VSPs, create one or more VFs as the building blocks for a
service. Validate and certify the VFs.
**ONAP Component**: SDC
**SDC user roles**: Designer, Tester
|image1|
Steps
-----
- `Create a VF`_
- `Update a VF [optional]`_
- `Submit a VF for testing`_
- `Test a VF`_
Create a VF
-----------
**Prerequisites:**
- Create a license for each VF (see Create a license model) (see also the
tutorial Creating a Licensing Model)
- Create a Vendor Software Product.
**Steps**
#. From the SDC HOME page, click the *Vendor Software Component* icon in the
header (upper right).
|image2|
#. From the Import VF box, expand a VSP name and click the *Import VSP* icon.
|image3|
#. In the General section, complete all fields.
.. note:: Use the letters "VF" in the name to indicate that the component is a VF.
#. Click *Create*.
- A message displays while VF creation is in progress. (This can take up to
10 minutes.)
- A message displays when VF creation is complete.
#. Click *Check In* to save changes.
- A box displays for confirming the changes.
#. Enter a comment and click *OK*.
- A message displays when the VF is checked in.
#. [Optional] At any time before submitting the VF for testing, click these
options to update VF information:
.. note:: These tasks can be done only before submitting the VF for testing.
- Icon — change the icon associated with the VF (vendor-supplied icons are
preferred)
- Deployment Artifacts — download, view, modify, or change VF deployment
artifacts (for example, the contents of the Heat .zip file, which contains
the Heat volume template, the VF license, etc.)
- Information Artifacts — view or upload artifacts, such as test scripts, test
results, or the AIC questionnaire
- TOSCA Artifacts — view or upload the TOSCA model or the TOSCA template
- Properties — define or update VF properties (not used in Release 1)
- Composition — view or edit the graphical representation of the resource-level
TOSCA model (generated from the Heat template)
- Activity Log — view activity related to assets associated with the VF
(displays the action, date, user, status, and any comments related to each
action)
- Deployment — view VF modules defined in the Heat template
- Inputs — view inputs defined for the resource-level TOSCA model
#. After creating a VF, submit it for testing (see `Submit a VF for testing`_).
Update a VF [optional]
----------------------
- Update the VSP and other artifacts in a VF.
- Upload a new version the VSP to the VF whenever the VSP is updated (see steps
3 to 5). Other reasons for updating a VF include:
- artifact changes at the VF level that need be uploaded, for example,
changes to ENV values (see step 6)
**Prerequisites:**
- `Create a VF`_.
- If the VSP was updated: Update a VSP [optional]
**Steps**
#. From the SDC HOME page, click *CATALOG* and search for a VF.
#. In the General section, click *Check Out*.
The Select VSP field is displays.
#. In the Select VSP field, click *Browse*.
The Import VF box displays and shows the VSP that was used to create the VF.
#. Expand the VSP field and click.

#. Click *Deployment Artifact* to edit, upload, or delete associated [Optional]
deployment artifacts.
#. Click *Information Artifact* and edit, upload, or delete associated
[Optional] information artifacts.
#. Click *Check In* to save changes.
#. After updating the VF:
- Submit the VF for testing (see Submit a VF for testing).
- Update the VF version in any service that contains the VF
(see step 4 in Update a service [optional]).
Submit a VF for testing
-----------------------
**Prerequisites:** `Create a VF`_
**Steps**
#. When a VF is ready for testing, click *CATALOG* and service for the VF.
#. Click the VF and click *Submit for Testing*.
|image7|

#. Enter a message for the testers asking that they begin service certification
and click *OK*.
The default mail client launches with a draft email containing the message.
#. Add the email addresses of the people on the Certification Group for this
site with the *Tester* role and send the email.
Test a VF
---------
Test the design and artifacts of a VF.
**Prerequisites:** `Submit a VF for testing`_.
**Steps**
#. Sign in to SDC as a *Tester*.
#. From the HOME page, select *Ready For Testing* under Active Projects.
