Software quality assurance (SQA) is a means and practice of monitoring the software engineering processes and methods used in a project to ensure proper quality of the software. It encompasses the entire software development life-cycle, including requirements engineering, software design, coding, source code reviews, software configuration management, testing , release management, software deployment and software integration. It is organized into goals, commitments, abilities, activities, measurements, verification and validation. In this talk, we will mainly focus on the testing activity part of the software development life-cycle. Its main objective is checking that software is satisfying a set of quality properties that are identified by the "ISO/IEC 25010:2011 System and Software Quality Model" standard [1] .

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is a novel paradigm which enables the deployment of network functions on commodity hardware. As such, it also stands for a deployment en-abler for any novel networking function or networking paradigm such as Named Data Networking (NDN), the most promising solution relying on the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) paradigm. However, dedicated solutions for the security and performance orchestration of such an emerging paradigm are still lacking thus preventing its adoption by network operators. In this paper, we propose a first step toward a content-oriented orchestration whose purpose is to deploy, manage and secure an NDN virtual network. We present the way we leverage the TOSCA standard, using a crafted NDN oriented extension to enable the specification of both deployment and operational behavior requirements of NDN services. We also highlight NDN-related security and performance policies to produce counter-measures against anomalies that can either come from attacks or performance incidents.
