Currently only CI Daily job executes a real vsperf code. Verfiy and Merge jobs only download and compile vsperf tools (i.e. ovs, dpdk and qemu) and generates a documentation (if rst files were modified). It would be useful to execute a subset of integration tests (i.e. those which doesn't execute a traffic) to verify basic VSPERF functionality, e.g. configuration of bridges, virtual interfaces and deployment of virtual machines for different type of vswitches. Tests should be executable at larger set of nodes, so we won't overload POD3.
It will improve the stability of the VSPERF code, because a set of "sanity" tests is executed on every patch before it is even merged into the git repository.
