Overview#

A Continuous Integration(CI) testing framework is a test-driven framework for automating the execution of all unit tests while integrating changes from different developer working branches into the main master.

Why do we need this?#

Three primary goals that are achieved by having such a framework are:

Continuous Integration (CI):


A CI server (Jenkins) will be run continuously by the developer team to execute the tests on every commit (on availability of resources) and publish the results to the concerned parties

boosting the time for error detection and their fixes.

Developer Testing:


The developers can add new tests, be it an addition to the QE tests, a custom JUnit tests / a custom python tests (not yet available).

Opensource the tests for the user:


All the tests (QE/Unit tests) will be available even for the users, to setup and test the product. This will also help debug the issues they have.

Design#

The entire framework can be divided into the following segments:

1. Jenkins CI server - to initiate the the entire process - checking out the latest source, building the rpms, running the tests and reporting the results.

The source checkout is configured in the Jenkins server and the build process can be initiated in a post-checkout script.

2. Beaker Server - For managing resources and running the tests and generating the reports.

3. Tests - All the QE tests and JUnit tests, which are built as an RPM and passed to a beaker job and executed.

How the Java tests are run on the beaker machine?
``  Unit tests by developers can be written in Java/Python for it is easy to write and maintain the tests.``
``  This will also help in interacting with the source code directly. (Since most of the code is written in Java).``
``  A similar case is applicable for testing the python client. (In future.)``
``  An extension to JUnit TestRunner is provided to generate the output in a beaker understandable format.``

Running the Tests#

See also README.

The entire environment can be initiated from the configured project in the Jenkins server.

All the prerequisite scripts can be configured to run as a pre-build procedure.

Then the latest code is checked out and the rpms built. (It can also be configured to use the local branch as the source from where the rpms are built.)

Beaker Plugin for Jenkins can be used to schedule a job on the installed beaker machine to run the tests.

Some of the post test scripts can be configured to run to provide better results.

Results#

All the results from various test suites are integrated on the beaker server. The results can be posted publicly.

Tools proposed#

  • 1. Jenkins CI server

    1. JUnit 4.11

    1. py.test/nose for the python client framework.

  • 4. A collection of bash scripts for setting up the test environment (ENV variables/Subsystem installation/Addressing dependencies).

(Can use the installation scripts already written - Source: git clone git://fedorapeople.org/home/fedora/edewata/public_git/pki-dev.git)
