## Testing Setup Steps ##

To verify the installation setup is completed and ready to execute.

* Download the openbmc-test-automation repository:
    ```
    $ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation
    $ cd openbmc-test-automation
    ```
* Execute basic setup test run:
    ```
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx templates/test_openbmc_setup.robot
    ```
    where xx.xx.xx.xx is the BMC hostname or IP.

## Test Layout ##

There are several sub-directories within the openbmc-test-automation base which
contain test suites, tools, templates, etc. These sub-directories are
classified as follows:

`tests/`: Contains the general test cases for OpenBMC stack functional
          verification.

`extended/`: Contains test cases for boot testing, network testing,
             code update testing etc.

`systest/`: Contains test cases for HTX bootme, IO storage and EEH testing.

`xcat/`: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.

`gui/`: Contains test cases for web UI and security scanning tool automation.

`mnfg/`: Contains test cases for factory reset (DHCP mode) and PGOOD testing.

`network/`: Contains test cases for network testing. It covers IPv4 in static mode
            and in DHCP mode.

`snmp/`: Contains test cases for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
         configuration testing.

`remote_logging`: Contains test cases for remote logging via rsyslog.

`openpower/ras/`: Contains test cases for RAS (Reliability, Availability and
                  Serviceability) for an OpenPOWER system.

`openpower/secureboot/`: Contains test cases for secure boot testing on a
                         secure boot feature enabled OpenPOWER system only.

`tools/`: Contains various tools.

`templates/`: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.

`test_list/`: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases
              (e.g "skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or
              grouping them (e.g "HW_CI", "CT_basic_run", etc.).


## Redfish Test Layout ##

OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry standard
specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for simple,
modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.

`redfish_test`: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported
                on OpenBMC.


## Quickstart ##
To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python
packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox
version 2.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.

**Robot Command Line**

* Execute all test suites for `tests/`:
    ```
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
    ```

* Execute a test suite:
    ```
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    ```

* Initialize the following environment variables which will be used during testing:
    ```
    $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine ip address>
    $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
    $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
    $ export OPENBMC_MODEL=[./data/Witherspoon.py, ./data/Palmetto.py, etc]
    $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
    $ export IPMI_PASSWORD=<External IPMI password>
    ```

* For QEMU tests, set the following environment variables as well:
    ```
    $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
    $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
    ```

* Run tests:
    ```
    $ tox -e tests
    ```

* How to run individual test:

    One specific test:
    ```
    $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    ```
    No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported
    systems:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
    ```
    No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
    ```
    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
    ```

    No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test
    cases using argument file:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
    ```

    Exclude test list for supported systems:
    ```
    Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
    Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
    ```

* How to run CI and CT bucket test:

    Default CI test bucket list:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
    ```

    Default CI smoke test bucket list:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
    ```

* Run extended tests:

    For-loop test (default iteration is 10):
    ```
    $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OPENBMC_SYSTEMMODEL:xxxxxx -v ITERATION:n -v LOOP_TEST_COMMAND:xxxxxx extended/full_suite_regression.robot
    ```

    Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":
    ```
    OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x  LOOP_TEST_COMMAND="tests/test_fw_version.robot" ITERATION=5 OPENBMC_SYSTEMMODEL=witherspoon tox -e witherspoon -- ./extended/full_suite_regression.robot
    ```

**Jenkins jobs tox commands**
* HW CI tox command:
    ```
    $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
    ```
