124## Supported Systems Architecture
125
126OpenBMC test infrastructure is proven capable of running on:
127
128- POWER
129- x86 systems running OpenBMC firmware stack.
130
131## Testing Setup Steps
132
133To verify the installation setup is completed and ready to execute.
134
135- Download the openbmc-test-automation repository:
136  ```
137  $ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation
138  $ cd openbmc-test-automation
139  ```
140- Execute basic setup test run:
141  ```
142  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx templates/test_openbmc_setup.robot
143  ```
144  where xx.xx.xx.xx is the BMC hostname or IP.
145
146## Test Layout
147
148There are several sub-directories within the openbmc-test-automation base which
149contain test suites, tools, templates, etc. These sub-directories are classified
150as follows:
151
152`tests/`: Contains the general test cases for OpenBMC stack functional
153verification. The "tests" subdirectory uses legacy REST and will be deprecated
154at some point and therefore no longer supported.
155
156`extended/`: Contains test cases for boot testing, code update testing using
157legacy REST, etc. The "extended" subdirectory uses legacy REST and will be
158deprecated at some point and therefore no longer supported.
159
160`systest/`: Contains test cases for HTX bootme testing.
161
162`xcat/`: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.
163
164`gui/test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based interface built on
165AngularJS.
166
167`gui/gui_test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based user interface built
168on Vue.js.
169
170`pldm/`: Contains test cases for platform management subsystem (base, bios, fru,
171platform, OEM).
172
173`snmp/`: Contains test cases for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
174configuration testing.
175
176`openpower/ras/`: Contains test cases for RAS (Reliability, Availability and
177Serviceability) for an OpenPOWER system.
178
179`openpower/secureboot/`: Contains test cases for secure boot testing on a secure
180boot feature enabled OpenPOWER system only.
181
182`tools/`: Contains various tools.
183
184`templates/`: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.
185
186`test_list/`: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases (e.g
187"skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or grouping them (e.g "HW_CI",
188"CT_basic_run", etc.).
189
190## Redfish Test Layout
191
192OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry
193standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for
194simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.
195
196`redfish/`: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on
197OpenBMC.
198
199`redfish/extended/`: Contains test cases for combined legacy REST and DMTF
200Redfish-related feature supported on OpenBMC.
201
202Note: Work in progress test development parameter
203`-v REDFISH_SUPPORT_TRANS_STATE:1` to force the test suites to execute in
204redfish mode only.
205
206## Quickstart
207
208To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python
209packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox version
2102.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.
211
212**Robot Command Line**
213
214- Execute all test suites for `tests/`:
215
216  ```
217  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
218  ```
219
220- Execute a test suite:
221
222  ```
223  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot
224  ```
225
226- Initialize the following test variables which will be used during test
227  execution:
228
229  User can forward declare as environment variables:
230
231  ```
232  $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
233  $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
234  $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
235  $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
236  ```
237
238  or
239
240  User can input as robot variables as part of the CLI command:
241
242  ```
243  -v OPENBMC_HOST:<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
244  -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:<openbmc username>
245  -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:<openbmc password>
246  ```
247
248- For QEMU tests, set the following environment variables as well:
249
250  ```
251  $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
252  $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
253  ```
254
255- Run tests:
256
257  ```
258  $ tox tests
259  ```
260
261- How to run individual test:
262
263  One specific test:
264
265  ```
266  $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
267  ```
268
269  No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported
270  systems:
271
272  ```
273  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
274  ```
275
276  No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:
277
278  ```
279  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
280  ```
281
282  No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:
283
284  ```
285  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
286  ```
287
288  No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test cases
289  using argument file:
290
291  ```
292  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
293  ```
294
295  Exclude test list for supported systems:
296
297  ```
298  Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
299  Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
300  ```
301
302- Run IPMI tests:
303
304  Running only out-of-band IPMI tests:
305
306  ```
307  $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_inband_ipmi tests/ipmi/
308  ```
309
310  Running only inband IPMI tests:
311
312  ```
313  $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:Inband -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OS_HOST:x.x.x.x -v OS_USERNAME:xxxx -v OS_PASSWORD:xxxx --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_oob_ipmi tests/ipmi/
314  ```
315
316- Run GUI tests:
317
318  By default, GUI runs with Firefox browser and headless mode. Example with
319  chrome browser and header mode:
320
321  ```
322  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v GUI_BROWSER:gc -v GUI_MODE:header gui/test/
323  ```
324
325  Run GUI default CI test bucket:
326
327  ```
328  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/BMC_WEB_CI gui/test/
329  ```
330
331- Run LDAP tests:
332
333  Before using LDAP test functions, be sure appropriate LDAP user(s) and
334  group(s) have been created on your LDAP server. Note: There are multiple ways
335  to create LDAP users / groups and all depend on your LDAP server. One common
336  way for openldap is ldapadd / ldapmodify refer
337  https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapadd For ldapsearch, refer to
338  "https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch". Microsoft ADS: refer to
339  https://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/Microsoft-Active-Directory-Domain-Services-AD-DS
340
341  Note: Currently, LDAP test automation for Redfish API is in progress. The
342  format to invoke LDAP test is as follows:
343
344  ```
345  $ cd redfish/account_service/
346  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v LDAP_SERVER_URI:<ldap(s)//LDAP Hostname / IP> -v LDAP_BIND_DN:<LDAP Bind DN> -v LDAP_BASE_DN:<LDAP Base DN> -v LDAP_BIND_DN_PASSWORD:<LDAP Bind password> -v LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE:<LDAP search scope> -v LDAP_SERVER_TYPE:<LDAP server type> -v LDAP_USER:<LDAP user-id> -v LDAP_USER_PASSWORD:<LDAP PASSWORD> -v GROUP_NAME:<Group Name> -v GROUP_PRIVILEGE:<Privilege>  ./test_ldap_configuration.robot
347  ```
348
349- How to run CI and CT bucket test:
350
351  Default CI test bucket list:
352
353  ```
354  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
355  ```
356
357  Default CI smoke test bucket list:
358
359  ```
360  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
361  ```
362
363- Run extended tests:
364
365  For-loop test (default iteration is 10):
366
367  ```
368  $ 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
369  ```
370
371  Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":
372
373  ```
374  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
375  ```
376
377- Host CPU architecture
378
379  By default openbmc-test-automation framework assumes that host CPU is based on
380  the POWER architecture. If your host CPU is x86 add
381  `-v PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE:x86` variable setting to your CLI commands or set an
382  environment variable:
383
384  ```
385  $ export PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE=x86
386  ```
387
388**Jenkins jobs tox commands**
389
390- HW CI tox command:
391  ```
392  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
393  ```
394
