1 Scope
The present document describes a set of informative interoperability test guidelines for NFV capabilities that require
interactions between the components implementing NFV functionality, namely, the NFVO, VNFM, EM-VNF and
VIM-NFVI (Functions under Test).
The guidelines in the present document follow the interoperability testing methodology described in ETSI
GS NFV-TST 002 [i.1] and are implementation agnostic. The capabilities in scope are enabled by the interfaces on the
main NFV reference points between the Functions Under Test:
• Or-Vi;
• Or-Vnfm;
• Vi-Vnfm; and
• Ve-Vnfm.

4 Interoperability Features Statement (IFS)
4.1 Introduction
This clause compiles the Interoperability Feature Statement (IFS) for VIM, VNFM, EM/VNF and NFVO according to
clause 4.3.3 of ETSI GS NFV-TST 002 [i.1] and following the example in ETSI GS NFV-TST 002 [i.1], annex A.
The interoperability feature statement identifier starts with a reference to the relevant functional block that produces or
consumes the interface:
• IDs starting with "VIM_" designate features on interfaces produced or consumed by the VIM
• IDs starting with "VNFM_" designate features on interfaces produced or consumed by the VNFM
• IDs starting with "NFVO_" designate features on interfaces produced or consumed by the NFVO
• IDs starting with "EM_" designate features on interfaces produced or consumed by the EM/VNF
The purpose of the Interoperable Features Statement (IFS) is to identify those standardized functions which a FUT
supports, including those which are optional and those which are conditional on the support of other functions.
Supported interoperability feature statements should be indicated by Y in the Support column (or N if not supported).
The Details column can be used to add further support details when necessary.
