Yardstick produces its own test cases but can also be considered as a framework to support feature project testing. + +Yardstick developed a test API that can be used by any OPNFV project. Therefore there are many ways to contribute to Yardstick. + +You can: + +* Develop new test cases +* Review codes +* Develop Yardstick API / framework +* Develop Yardstick grafana dashboards and Yardstick reporting page +* Write Yardstick documentation + +This developer guide describes how to interact with the Yardstick project. +The first section details the main working areas of the project. The Second +part is a list of “How to” to help you to join the Yardstick family whatever +your field of interest is. + +Where can I find some help to start? +-------------------------------------- + +.. _`user guide`: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/yardstick/danube/1.0/docs/stesting_user_userguide/index.html +.. _`wiki page`: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/yardstick/ + +This guide is made for you. You can have a look at the `user guide`_. +There are also references on documentation, video tutorials, tips in the +project `wiki page`_. You can also directly contact us by mail with [Yardstick] prefix in the title at opnfv-tech-discuss@lists.opnfv.org or on the IRC chan #opnfv-yardstick. + + +Yardstick developer areas +========================== + +Yardstick framework +-------------------- + +Yardstick can be considered as a framework. Yardstick is release as a docker +file, including tools, scripts and a CLI to prepare the environement and run +tests. It simplifies the integration of external test suites in CI pipeline +and provide commodity tools to collect and display results. + +Since Danube, test categories also known as tiers have been created to group +similar tests, provide consistant sub-lists and at the end optimize test +duration for CI (see How To section). + +The definition of the tiers has been agreed by the testing working group. + +The tiers are: + +* smoke +* features +* components +* performance +* vnf + + +How Todos? +=========== + +How Yardstick works? +--------------------- + +The installation and configuration of the Yardstick is described in the `user guide`_. + +How can I contribute to Yardstick? +----------------------------------- + +If you are already a contributor of any OPNFV project, you can contribute to +Yardstick. If you are totally new to OPNFV, you must first create your Linux +Foundation account, then contact us in order to declare you in the repository +database. + +We distinguish 2 levels of contributors: + +* the standard contributor can push patch and vote +1/0/-1 on any Yardstick patch +* The commitor can vote -2/-1/0/+1/+2 and merge + +Yardstick commitors are promoted by the Yardstick contributors. + +Gerrit & JIRA introduction +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. _Gerrit: https://www.gerritcodereview.com/ +.. _`OPNFV Gerrit`: http://gerrit.opnfv.org/ +.. _link: https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/ +.. _JIRA: https://jira.opnfv.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa + +OPNFV uses Gerrit_ for web based code review and repository management for the +Git Version Control System. You can access `OPNFV Gerrit`_. Please note that +you need to have Linux Foundation ID in order to use OPNFV Gerrit. You can get one from this link_. + +OPNFV uses JIRA_ for issue management. An important principle of change +management is to have two-way trace-ability between issue management +(i.e. JIRA_) and the code repository (via Gerrit_). In this way, individual +commits can be traced to JIRA issues and we also know which commits were used +to resolve a JIRA issue. + +If you want to contribute to Yardstick, you can pick a issue from Yardstick's +JIRA dashboard or you can create you own issue and submit it to JIRA. + +Install Git and Git-reviews +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Installing and configuring Git and Git-Review is necessary in order to submit +code to Gerrit. The `Getting to the code `_ page will provide you with some help for that. + + +Verify your patch locally before submitting +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Once you finish a patch, you can submit it to Gerrit for code review. A +developer sends a new patch to Gerrit will trigger patch verify job on Jenkins +CI. The yardstick patch verify job includes python flake8 check, unit test and +code coverage test. Before you submit your patch, it is recommended to run the +patch verification in your local environment first. + +Open a terminal window and set the project's directory to the working +directory using the ``cd`` command. Assume that ``YARDSTICK_REPO_DIR`` is the path to the Yardstick project folder on your computer:: + + cd $YARDSTICK_REPO_DIR + +Verify your patch:: + + ./run_tests.sh + +It is used in CI but also by the CLI. + +Submit the code with Git +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Tell Git which files you would like to take into account for the next commit. +This is called 'staging' the files, by placing them into the staging area, +using the ``git add`` command (or the synonym ``git stage`` command):: + + git add $YARDSTICK_REPO_DIR/samples/sample.yaml + +Alternatively, you can choose to stage all files that have been modified (that +is the files you have worked on) since the last time you generated a commit, +by using the `-a` argument:: + + git add -a + +Git won't let you push (upload) any code to Gerrit if you haven't pulled the +latest changes first. So the next step is to pull (download) the latest +changes made to the project by other collaborators using the ``pull`` command:: + + git pull + +Now that you have the latest version of the project and you have staged the +files you wish to push, it is time to actually commit your work to your local +Git repository:: + + git commit --signoff -m "Title of change" + + Test of change that describes in high level what was done. There is a lot of + documentation in code so you do not need to repeat it here. + + JIRA: YARDSTICK-XXX + +.. _`this document`: http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/ + +The message that is required for the commit should follow a specific set of +rules. This practice allows to standardize the description messages attached +to the commits, and eventually navigate among the latter more easily. + +`This document`_ happened to be very clear and useful to get started with that. + +Push the code to Gerrit for review +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Now that the code has been comitted into your local Git repository the +following step is to push it online to Gerrit for it to be reviewed. The +command we will use is ``git review``:: + + git review + +This will automatically push your local commit into Gerrit. You can add +Yardstick committers and contributors to review your codes. + +.. image:: images/review.PNG + :width: 800px + :alt: Gerrit for code review + +You can find Yardstick people info `here `_. + +Modify the code under review in Gerrit +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +At the same time the code is being reviewed in Gerrit, you may need to edit it +to make some changes and then send it back for review. The following steps go +through the procedure. + +Once you have modified/edited your code files under your IDE, you will have to +stage them. The 'status' command is very helpful at this point as it provides +an overview of Git's current state:: + + git status + +The output of the command provides us with the files that have been modified +after the latest commit. + +You can now stage the files that have been modified as part of the Gerrit code +review edition/modification/improvement using ``git add`` command. It is now +time to commit the newly modified files, but the objective here is not to +create a new commit, we simply want to inject the new changes into the +previous commit. You can achieve that with the '--amend' option on the +``git commit`` command:: + + git commit --amend + +If the commit was successful, the ``git status`` command should not return the +updated files as about to be commited. + +The final step consists in pushing the newly modified commit to Gerrit:: + + git review + + +Plugins +========== + +For information about Yardstick plugins, refer to the chapter **Installing a plug-in into Yardstick** in the `user guide`_. + -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
