DefCore sets base requirements by defining 1) capabilities, 2) code and 3) must-pass tests for all OpenStack products. This definition uses community resources and involvement to drive interoperability by creating the minimum standards for products labeled "OpenStack."

* '''Capability''' – the functionality ensured by a set of tests collected into a group as defined by the technical community (the DefCore committee has made preliminary assignments to start the process).
 
* '''DefCore''' – the board committee that oversees that core capability selection process for each release and other items related to the commercial brand.
