Testing Guide
*************

We use two open source test tools to test Trellis behavior.

- **Data Plane Testing - OFTest**

    We use **OFTest** to verify the **behavior of a hardware switch** is the
    same as described in the OF-DPA specification.

    This tool was originally developed by Big Switch and later modified by Accton.

    The test cases for verifying OF-DPA behavior were written by ONF.

    To learn more about OFTest and how we use it for OF-DPA verification,
    please visit :doc:`Data Plane Testing <testing/data-plane-testing>`.

- **Control Plane Testing - TestON**

    We use **TestON** to verify the **Trellis control application behavior**
    when used for a leaf-spine fabric.

    These tests are merged into ONOS test repository and run nightly.

    To learn more about TestON, please visit :doc:`Control Plane Testing
    <testing/control-plane-testing>`.
