(c) OPNFV, Huawei Technologies Co.,Ltd and others. + +========================================== +Conducting CVP Testing with Dovetail +========================================== + +Overview +------------------------------ + +The Dovetail testing framework for CVP consists of two major parts: the testing client that +executes all test cases in a lab (vendor self-testing or a third party lab), +and the server system that is hosted by the CVP administrator to store and +view test results based on a web API. The following diagram illustrates +this overall framework. + +.. image:: ../../../images/dovetail_online_mode.png + :align: center + :scale: 50% + +Within the tester's lab, the Test Host is the machine where Dovetail executes all +automated test cases. As it hosts the test harness, the Test Host must not be part of +the System Under Test (SUT) itself. +The above diagram assumes that the tester's Test Host is situated in a DMZ which +has internal network access to the SUT and external access to the OPNFV server +via the public Internet. +This arrangement may not be supported in some labs. +Dovetail also supports an offline mode of testing that is +illustrated in the next diagram. + +.. image:: ../../../images/dovetail_offline_mode.png + :align: center + :scale: 50% + +In the offline mode, the Test Host only needs to have access to the SUT +via the internal network, but does not need to connect to the public Internet. This +user guide will highlight differences between the online and offline modes of +the Test Host. While it is possible to run the Test Host as a virtual machine, +this user guide assumes it is a physical machine for simplicity. + +The rest of this guide will describe how to install the Dovetail tool as a +Docker container image, go over the steps of running the CVP test suite, and +then discuss how to view test results and make sense of them. + +Readers interested +in using Dovetail for its functionalities beyond CVP testing, e.g. for in-house +or extended testing, should consult the Dovetail developer's guide for additional +information. + +Installing Dovetail +-------------------- + +In this section, we describe the procedure to install Dovetail client tool on the Test Host. +The Test Host must have network access to the management network with access rights to +the Virtual Infrastructure Manager's API. + +Checking the Test Host Readiness +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Test Host must have network access to the Virtual Infrastructure Manager's API +hosted in the SUT so that the Dovetail tool can exercise the API from the Test Host. +It must also have ``ssh`` access to the Linux operating system +of the compute nodes in the SUT. The ``ssh`` mechanism is used by some test cases +to generate test events in the compute nodes. You can find out which test cases +use this mechanism in the test specification document. + +We have tested the Dovetail tool on the following host operating systems. Other versions +or distribution of Linux may also work, but community support may be more available on +these versions. + +- Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial) or 14.04 LTS (Trusty) +- CentOS-7-1611 +- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 +- Fedora 24 or 25 Server + +Non-Linux operating systems, such as Windows, Mac OS, have not been tested +and are not supported. + +If online mode is used, the tester should also validate that the Test Host can reach +the public Internet. For example, + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ ping www.opnfv.org + PING www.opnfv.org (50.56.49.117): 56 data bytes + 64 bytes from 50.56.49.117: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=52.952 ms + 64 bytes from 50.56.49.117: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=53.805 ms + 64 bytes from 50.56.49.117: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=53.349 ms + ... + + +Or, if the lab environment does not allow ping, try validating it using HTTPS instead. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ curl https://www.opnfv.org + + + + + + ... + + +Configuring the Test Host Environment +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Test Host needs a few environment variables set correctly in order to access the +Openstack API required to drive the Dovetail tests. For convenience and as a convention, +we will also create a home directory for storing all Dovetail related config files and +results files: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ mkdir -p /home/dovetail + $ export DOVETAIL_HOME=/home/dovetail + +Here we set dovetail home directory to be ``/home/dovetail`` for an example. +Then create a directory named ``pre_config`` in this directory to store all +Dovetail related config files: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ mkdir -p ${DOVETAIL_HOME}/pre_config + +At this point, you will need to consult your SUT (Openstack) administrator to correctly set +the configurations in a file named ``env_config.sh``. +The Openstack settings need to be configured such that the Dovetail client has all the necessary +credentials and privileges to execute all test operations. If the SUT uses terms +somewhat differently from the standard Openstack naming, you will need to adjust +this file accordingly. + +In our example, we will use the file '${DOVETAIL_HOME}/pre_config/env_config.sh'. Create and edit +the file so that all parameters are set correctly to match your SUT. Here is an example of what +this file should contain. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ cat ${DOVETAIL_HOME}/pre_config/env_config.sh + + # Project-level authentication scope (name or ID), recommend admin project. + export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin + + # For identity v2, it uses OS_TENANT_NAME rather than OS_PROJECT_NAME. + export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin + + # Authentication username, belongs to the project above, recommend admin user. + export OS_USERNAME=admin + + # Authentication password. Use your own password + export OS_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx + + # Authentication URL, one of the endpoints of keystone service. If this is v3 version, + # there need some extra variables as follows. + export OS_AUTH_URL='http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5000/v3' + + # Default is 2.0. If use keystone v3 API, this should be set as 3. + export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 + + # Domain name or ID containing the user above. + # Command to check the domain: openstack user show + export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=default + + # Domain name or ID containing the project above. + # Command to check the domain: openstack project show + export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=default + + # Home directory for dovetail that you have created before. + export DOVETAIL_HOME=/home/dovetail + +Export all these variables into environment by, + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ source ${DOVETAIL_HOME}/pre_config/env_config.sh + +If OpenStack client is installed, you can validate that the OpenStack environmental +settings are correct by, + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ openstack service list + + +Installing Prerequisite on the Test Host +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The main prerequisite software for Dovetail are Python and Docker. + +In the CVP test suite for the Danube release, Dovetail requires Python 2.7. Python 3.x +is not supported at this time. + +Use the following steps to check if the right version of python is already installed, +and if not, install it. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ python --version + Python 2.7.6 + +If your Test Host does not have Python installed, or the version is not 2.7, you +should consult Python installation guides corresponding to the operating system +in your Test Host on how to install Python 2.7. + +Dovetail does not work with Docker versions prior to 1.12.3. We have validated +Dovetail with Docker 17.03 CE. Other versions of Docker later than 1.12.3 may +also work, but community support may be more available on Docker 17.03 CE. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker version + Client: + Version: 17.03.1-ce + API version: 1.27 + Go version: go1.7.5 + Git commit: c6d412e + Built: Mon Mar 27 17:10:36 2017 + OS/Arch: linux/amd64 + + Server: + Version: 17.03.1-ce + API version: 1.27 (minimum version 1.12) + Go version: go1.7.5 + Git commit: c6d412e + Built: Mon Mar 27 17:10:36 2017 + OS/Arch: linux/amd64 + Experimental: false + +If your Test Host does not have Docker installed, or Docker is older than 1.12.3, +or you have Docker version other than 17.03 CE and wish to change, +you will need to install, upgrade, or re-install in order to run Dovetail. +The Docker installation process +can be more complex, you should refer to the official +Docker installation guide that is relevant to your Test Host's operating system. + +The above installation steps assume that the Test Host is in the online mode. For offline +testing, use the following offline installation steps instead. + +In order to install or upgrade Python offline, you may download packaged Python 2.7 +for your Test Host's operating system on a connected host, copy the packge to +the Test Host, then install from that local copy. + +In order to install Docker offline, download Docker static binaries and copy the +tar file to the Test Host, such as for Ubuntu14.04, you may follow the following link +to install, + +.. code-block:: bash + + https://github.com/meetyg/docker-offline-install + + +Installing Dovetail on the Test Host +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Dovetail project maintains a Docker image that has Dovetail test tools preinstalled. +This Docker image is tagged with versions. Before pulling the Dovetail image, check the +OPNFV's CVP web page first to determine the right tag for CVP testing. + +If the Test Host is online, you can directly pull. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker pull opnfv/dovetail:cvp.0.2.0 + cvp.0.2.0: Pulling from opnfv/dovetail + 30d541b48fc0: Pull complete + 8ecd7f80d390: Pull complete + 46ec9927bb81: Pull complete + 2e67a4d67b44: Pull complete + 7d9dd9155488: Pull complete + cc79be29f08e: Pull complete + e102eed9bf6a: Pull complete + 952b8a9d2150: Pull complete + bfbb639d1f38: Pull complete + bf7c644692de: Pull complete + cdc345e3f363: Pull complete + Digest: sha256:d571b1073b2fdada79562e8cc67f63018e8d89268ff7faabee3380202c05edee + Status: Downloaded newer image for opnfv/dovetail:cvp.0.2.0 + +An example of the is *cvp.0.2.0*. + +If the Test Host is offline, you will need to first pull the Dovetail Docker image, and all the +dependent images that Dovetail uses, to a host that is online. The reason that you need +to pull all dependent images is because Dovetail normally does dependency checking at run-time +and automatically pull images as needed, if the Test Host is online. If the Test Host is +offline, then all these dependencies will also need to be manually copied. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker pull opnfv/dovetail:cvp.0.2.0 + $ sudo docker pull opnfv/functest:cvp.0.2.0 + $ sudo docker pull opnfv/yardstick:danube.3.0 + $ sudo wget -nc http://artifacts.opnfv.org/sdnvpn/ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img -P {ANY_DIR} + +Once all these images are pulled, save the images, copy to the Test Host, and then load +the Dovetail and all dependent images at the Test Host. + +At the online host, save images. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker save -o dovetail.tar opnfv/dovetail:cvp.0.2.0 opnfv/functest:cvp.0.2.0 opnfv/yardstick:danube.3.0 + +Copy dovetail.tar file to the Test Host, and then load the images on the Test Host. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker load --input dovetail.tar + +Copy sdnvpn test area image ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img to ${DOVETAIL_HOME}/pre_config/. + +Now check to see that the Dovetail image has been pulled or loaded properly. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker images + REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE + opnfv/functest cvp.0.2.0 9eaeaea5f203 8 days ago 1.53GB + opnfv/dovetail cvp.0.2.0 5d25b289451c 8 days ago 516MB + opnfv/yardstick danube.3.0 574596b6ea12 8 days ago 1.2GB + +Regardless of whether you pulled down the Dovetail image directly online, or loaded from +a static image tar file, you are ready to run Dovetail. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo docker run --privileged=true -it \ + -e DOVETAIL_HOME=$DOVETAIL_HOME \ + -v $DOVETAIL_HOME:$DOVETAIL_HOME \ + -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ + opnfv/dovetail: /bin/bash + +The ``-e`` options set the env variables in the container and the ``-v`` options map files +in the host to files in the container. + +Running the CVP Test Suite +---------------------------- + +Now you should be in the Dovetail container's prompt and ready to execute +test suites. + +The Dovetail client CLI allows the tester to specify which test suite to run. +By default the results are stored in a local file +``$DOVETAIL_HOME/results``. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ dovetail run --testsuite + +Multiple test suites may be available.
