Please report errors, bugs or other issues [here](https://forge.etsi.org/rep/nfv/api-tests/issues).



## Test suite maintenance procedure



The Test Specification Robot code is implemented as the combination of:

- high-level Robot code, which for each test implements the sequence of test steps in the form of Robot keywords, and is reported as-is as part of the Test Documentation in the NFV-TST 010 documents 

- low-level Robot code, which implements the actual logic of the test steps in Robot language



The Test Specification is maintained according to the following procedure:

- tags in the form "x.y.z" refer to the Robot Tests aligned with related NFV-TST 010 version "x.y.z"

- branches "x.y.z-fix-plu" are used for Robot Tests maintenance for versions "x.y.z", and fix issues as reported [here](https://forge.etsi.org/rep/nfv/api-tests/issues):

    - only issues that affect the low-level Robot code are fixed in "x.y.z-fix-plu" branches

    - issues that affect the high-level Robot code (and therefore affecting the Test Documentation as per NFV-TST 010 version "x.y.z") are fixed in the first available subsequent version to "x.y.z" of the Test Specification
