5.2.1 Testing groups

3CPP
China Cloud Computing Promotion and Policy Forum (3CPP) is a non-profit organization initiated by the cloud
industry. The objectives of 3CPP include facilitating the communication between government and the
industry, and promoting the research on the standards, policies, plans and laws in cloud computing area in
China. 3CPP has more than 60 members including Chinese cloud service and infrastructure providers.

3CPP works on cloud computing testing methodology related aspects of CCI.
3CPP initiated "Trusted Cloud Service Certification" in 2013, and established related documents including
"Assessment Method for Trusted Cloud Service Certification" and "Cloud Computing Service Level Agreement
Reference Framework", etc. In these documents, some evaluation indexes and evaluation methods are
defined.

Cloud Plugfests

The Cloud Interoperability Plugfest series (or "Cloud Plugfests" for short) was originated out of
community-based interoperability efforts started by OGF and SNIA in 2011, and expanded to include a variety
of support tools provided by these organizations and ETSI to support the community. ETSI joined the Cloud
Plugfest series as a full supporting partner in 2012. Furthermore, Cloud Plugfests developed into a
cooperative venue to encourage interoperability on implementations of several relevant cloud software
stacks, products and multiple cloud-related standards.

Cloud Plugfests works on cloud computing testing methodology related aspects of CCI. Test descriptions for
cloud interoperability delivered by Cloud Plugfest specifies interoperability test descriptions for OCCI and
CDMI standards. The test descriptions cover the OCCI and CDMI protocol specifications where relevant and
more specifically: 1) OCCI interoperability testing, to prove that end-to-end functionality is as required by the
standard. 2) CDMI interoperability testing, to prove that end-to-end functionality is as required by the
standard. 3) OCCI + CDMI interworking testing, to prove that end-to-end functionality is as required by the
standards. Cloud Plugfests works on cloud computing testing methodology related aspects of CCI.
