+# FRR-K8s testplan
+
+## Summary
+
+This document lists the set of tests that will be implemented.
+
+This list is not meant to be comprehensive, but to serve as a starting point. Whenever a feature of the
+daemon will be implemented (i.e. status exposure, filtering well known CIDRs), the feature is expected
+to come with a good amount of coverage. What tests to implement will be discussed on the PR.
+
+The baseline infrastructure for testing is the same set of external FRR containers we have in MetalLB, which
+are defined for both the default VRF and an extra VRF (vrf red):
+
+- ibgp single hop
+- ebgp single hop
+- ibgp multi hop
+- ebgp multi hop
+
+### Baseline tests
+
+- Each FRR instance connects to all the external containers
+- The main router is configured with multiple prefixes, we advertise them to all the neighbours via the "all"
+flag
+- The main router is configured with multiple prefixes, we advertise only a subset of them explicitly
+- The main router is configured with multiple prefixes, we differentiate what we advertise to different neighbors
+- Prefixes with communities
+- Prefixes with local preferences
+- Receiving all the routes
+- Receiving only some routes
+
+- Editing the configuration works
+- Deleting a given configuration works
+
+### Configuration composition
+
+- One configuration related to one neighbor and one to another (session, advertisement)
+- One configuration for the router prefixes, and the other for advertising the prefixes (all)
+- One configuration for the router prefixes, and the other for advertising the prefixes (some)
+- One configuration where we override the announcement list with all
+- One configuration where we override the receiving list with all
+
+### BFD
+
+- The BFD session is established
+- The session parameters are propagated
+
+### Node selector
+
+- We apply the configuration to a subset of the nodes
+- A general configuration (to advertise), another configuration applied to a subset of the nodes
+
+### Negative tests
+
+Invalid configurations that should be caught by the webhooks:
+
+- Prefixes in the neighbors but not in the router
+- prefixes to be associated with local pref but not in the list of advertised ones
+- prefixes to be associated with community but not in the list of advertised ones
+
+### Metrics
+
+- The tests must cover (at least) the same set of metrics that metallb is exposing and testing
+- In case metrics for the incoming announcements are added, they must be covered as well
+
+### Status
+
+Every time a bit of the status exposed is implemented, it must be covered with tests.
