VVP Project Release Notes =============================== Version: 6.0.0 -------------- :Release Date: 2020-05-14 **Removed Features** - None **New Features** - Added plugin capability to preload template generation. End users can now create their own python plugins for VVP to generate preload templates in the method and format of their choosing. (``VVP-339``) - The ``vvp/test-engine`` repository has been revived and repurposed, and is now used to maintain the code for the following two enhancements: - Enhanced OVP VNF Heat validation to execute stand-alone, and moved into the VVP test-engine repository. (``VVP-381``) - Created onap-client python api client to interact with various ONAP applications. (``VVP-381``) - Added validation test for new VNF Heat Template requirement R-55307 . (``VVP-354``) - Enhanced validation for nested resources R-17528. (``VVP-357``) - Updated test_02_no_duplicate_keys_in_file to check environment files for duplicate keys. (``VVP-284``) - Enhanced validation for R-90279 based on updated VNF Heat Template requirements. (``VVP-360``) - Enhanced resiliency of preload template generation to support more general case VNF Heat Templates. (``VVP-335``) **Bug Fixes** - Resolved false negatives for internal network floating IP parameters parameter format checks. (``VVP-340``) - Resolved false negatives checking required sections of a VNF Base Template module. (``VVP-365``) **Known Issues** - None **Security Notes** VVP code has been formally scanned during build time using NexusIQ and no Critical vulnerability was found. VVP code also is passing the mandatory test coverage percentage (%55). - `Validation Scripts `__ - `Test Engine `__ Additionally, all VVP code is still scanned using the `Bandit `__ library. All potential issues reported this scanning process have been addressed or marked as non-issues using the ``# nosec`` marker in the source code.

The user can optionally populate the template by specifying environment files (``VVP-227``, ``VVP-277``) - Added ``checks.py`` to consolidate various quality checks that can now be performed cross-platform and consistently between the local and build environment. - Added quality check to ensure VVP includes the latest version of Heat requirements from the VVP project - All code is now scanned for security issues using the Bandit library (``VVP-244``) - Updated Availability Zone tests to align with latest VNF Requirements (``VVP-226``) - Performance enhancements - improved performance of validation of large templates by 30-70% (``VVP-225``) - VVP GUI can be customized to display configurable disclaimer text, and also allow the acceptance of terms-and-condition, or other legal agreements before allowing the user to use the tool (``VVP-195``) - Enhanced report readability by removing unnecessary columns and other enhancements (``VVP-184``) - Removed dependency on ``yamllint`` library to remove dependency on L/GPL code (``VVP-201``) - Allow error messages with line breaks (``VVP-225``) - Various enhancements to remove redundant tests or improve error messages **Bug Fixes** - Fixed errors in ``test_environment_file_parameters`` where wrong variables were being checked (``VVP-267``) - VVP GUI fails to open reports when tools is launched from a network share (``VVP-266``) - Escape error messages before display in HTML report (``VVP-159``) - Improved error message when Heat archives included nested directories which are not allowed (``VVP-217``) - Relaxed validation of ``get_param`` usage to better comply with SDC implementation (``VVP-220``) **Known Issues** - None **Security Notes** VVP code has been formally scanned during build time using NexusIQ and no Critical vulnerability was found. Additionally, all VVP code is now scanned using the `Bandit `__ library. All potential issues reported this scanning process have been addressed or marked as non-issues using the ``# nosec`` marker in the source code.
