Pods are the sets of bare metal or virtual servers and networking -equipments used to run the tests. - -The results pushed in the database are related to pods, projects and test cases. -If you try to push results of test done on non referenced pod, the API will -return an error message. - -An additional method dashboard has been added to post-process -the raw results in release Brahmaputra (deprecated in Colorado). - -The data model is very basic, 5 objects are created: - - * Pods - * Projects - * Testcases - * Results - * Scenarios - -The code of the API is hosted in the releng repository `[6]`_. -The static documentation of the API can be found at `[7]`_. -The TestAPI has been dockerized and may be installed locally in your -lab. See `[15]`_ for details. - -The deployment of the TestAPI has been automated. -A jenkins job manages: - - * the unit tests of the TestAPI - * the creation of a new docker file - * the deployment of the new TestAPI - * the archive of the old TestAPI - * the backup of the Mongo DB - -TestAPI Authorization -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -PUT/DELETE/POST operations of the TestAPI now require token based authorization. The token needs -to be added in the request using a header 'X-Auth-Token' for access to the database. - -e.g:: - headers['X-Auth-Token'] - -The value of the header i.e the token can be accessed in the jenkins environment variable -*TestApiToken*. The token value is added as a masked password. - -.. code-block:: python - - headers['X-Auth-Token'] = os.environ.get('TestApiToken') - -The above example is in Python. Token based authentication has been added so that only ci pods -jenkins job can have access to the database. - -Please note that currently token authorization is implemented but is not yet enabled. - -Reporting -========= - -An automatic reporting page has been created in order to provide a -consistent view of the scenarios. - -In this page, each scenario is evaluated according to test criteria. -The code for the automatic reporting is available at `[8]`_. - -The results are collected from the centralized database every day and, -per scenario. A score is calculated based on the results from the last -10 days. - -Dashboard -========= - -Dashboard is used to provide a consistent view of the results collected in CI. -The results showed on the dashboard are post processed from the Database, -which only contains raw results. - -It can be used in addition of the reporting page (high level view) to allow -the creation of specific graphs according to what the test owner wants to show. - -In Brahmaputra, a basic home made dashboard was created in Functest. -In Colorado, Yardstick adopted Grafana (time based graphs) and ELK (complex -graphs). -Since Danube, the testing community decided to adopt ELK framework and to rely -on bitergia. It was not implemented for Danube but it is planned for Euphrates. - -Bitergia already provides a dashboard for code and infrastructure. -A new Test tab will be added. The dataset will be built by consuming -the TestAPI. - -See `[3]`_ for details. - - -======= -How TOs -======= - -Where can I find information on the different test projects? -=========================================================== - - -How can I contribute to a test project? -======================================= - - -Where can I find hardware resources? -==================================== - - -How do I integrate my tests in CI? -================================== - - -How to declare my tests in the test Database? -============================================= - - -How to push your results into the Test Database? -================================================ - -The test database is used to collect test results. By default it is -enabled only for CI tests from Production CI pods. - -Please note that it is possible to create your own local database. - -A dedicated database is for instance created for each plugfest. - -The architecture and associated API is described in previous chapter. -If you want to push your results from CI, you just have to call the API -at the end of your script. - -You can also reuse a python function defined in functest_utils.py `[5]`_ - - -Where can I find the documentation on the test API? -=================================================== - -http://artifacts.opnfv.org/releng/docs/testapi.html - - - -I have tests, to which category should I declare them? -====================================================== - - - -The main ambiguity could be between features and VNF. -In fact sometimes you have to spawn VMs to demonstrate the capabilities of the -feature you introduced. -We recommend to declare your test in the feature category. - -VNF category is really dedicated to test including: - - * creation of resources - * deployement of an orchestrator/VNFM - * deployment of the VNF - * test of the VNFM - * free resources - -The goal is not to study a particular feature on the infrastructure but to have -a whole end to end test of a VNF automatically deployed in CI. -Moreover VNF are run in weekly jobs (one a week), feature tests are in daily -jobs and use to get a scenario score. - -Where are the logs of CI runs? -============================== - -Logs and configuration files can be pushed to artifact server from the CI under -http://artifacts.opnfv.org/<project name> - - -========== -References -========== - -_`[1]`: http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-danube/testing/ecosystem/overview.html - -_`[2]`: http://www.opnfv.org - -_`[3]`: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/testing/Result+alignment+for+ELK+post-processing - -_`[4]`: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/INF/CI+Scenario+Naming - -_`[5]`: https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/functest/utils/functest_utils.py#176 - -_`[6]`: https://git.opnfv.org/functest/tree/releng - -_`[7]`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/releng/docs/testapi.html - - -IRC support chan: #opnfv-testperf + ./abstract + ./dev-guide |
