Learn about FAST-Verify, a modular and lightweight testing framework designed for high-level platform validation in this 17-minute conference talk by Scott Paulsen and Wei-jen Huang from Cisco Systems. Discover how this framework currently validates OCP-inspired Cisco 8501 products using YAML-JSON input test vectors that define test parameters including programs to run, expected return codes, expected outputs for pass-fail cases, and irrelevant outputs to ignore. Explore the framework's key features including its ability to produce comprehensive output test vectors that summarize results with pass-fail findings and failure reasons, while generating output tarballs for seamless workflow integration. Understand the portability advantages that require minimal configuration changes to support new systems and the customization capabilities that allow test expansion through libraries or external scripts. Compare FAST-Verify's approach to traditional OCP diagnostics, focusing on its emphasis on quick, high-level validation to ensure platform health before running detailed tests for memory, SSD, or networking components. Gain insights into the planned open-source release scheduled for September 2025 and how this initiative aims to foster innovation and collaboration within the Open Compute Project community.
