In many applications of OSS, components developed by independent communities are tested only within the context of the corresponding communities without integrating the components from others. This results in very limited or non-existent E2E Testing and causes problems for the seamless interworking of these components when they are attempted to be integrated with each other. OPNFV Cross Community CI (XCI) enables timely verification of the components developed by open source communities such as OpenStack and OpenDaylight in a full OPNFV system context. Latest versions of the upstream components can be integrated and tested on a production-like setup, significantly cutting the time it takes to introduce new features, identify and fix bugs, and enable the innovation by providing better visibility and significantly faster feedback to OPNFV itself and the upstream communities it works with.
