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  ```
138  $ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation
139  $ cd openbmc-test-automation
140  ```
141
142- Execute basic setup test run:
143
144  ```
145  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx templates/test_openbmc_setup.robot
146  ```
147
148  where xx.xx.xx.xx is the BMC hostname or IP.
149
150## Test Layout
151
152There are several sub-directories within the openbmc-test-automation base which
153contain test suites, tools, templates, etc. These sub-directories are classified
154as follows:
155
156`tests/`: Contains the general test cases for OpenBMC stack functional
157verification. The "tests" subdirectory uses legacy REST and will be deprecated
158at some point and therefore no longer supported.
159
160`extended/`: Contains test cases for boot testing, code update testing using
161legacy REST, etc. The "extended" subdirectory uses legacy REST and will be
162deprecated at some point and therefore no longer supported.
163
164`systest/`: Contains test cases for HTX bootme testing.
165
166`xcat/`: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.
167
168`gui/test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based interface built on
169AngularJS.
170
171`gui/gui_test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based user interface built
172on Vue.js.
173
174`pldm/`: Contains test cases for platform management subsystem (base, bios, fru,
175platform, OEM).
176
177`snmp/`: Contains test cases for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
178configuration testing.
179
180`openpower/ras/`: Contains test cases for RAS (Reliability, Availability and
181Serviceability) for an OpenPOWER system.
182
183`openpower/secureboot/`: Contains test cases for secure boot testing on a secure
184boot feature enabled OpenPOWER system only.
185
186`tools/`: Contains various tools.
187
188`templates/`: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.
189
190`test_list/`: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases (e.g
191"skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or grouping them (e.g "HW_CI",
192"CT_basic_run", etc.).
193
194## Redfish Test Layout
195
196OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry
197standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for
198simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.
199
200`redfish/`: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on
201OpenBMC.
202
203`redfish/extended/`: Contains test cases for combined legacy REST and DMTF
204Redfish-related feature supported on OpenBMC.
205
206Note: Work in progress test development parameter
207`-v REDFISH_SUPPORT_TRANS_STATE:1` to force the test suites to execute in
208redfish mode only.
209
210## Quickstart
211
212To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python
213packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox version
2142.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.
215
216**Robot Command Line**
217
218- Execute all test suites for `tests/`:
219
220  ```
221  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
222  ```
223
224- Execute a test suite:
225
226  ```
227  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot
228  ```
229
230- Initialize the following test variables which will be used during test
231  execution:
232
233  User can forward declare as environment variables:
234
235  ```
236  $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
237  $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
238  $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
239  $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
240  ```
241
242  or
243
244  User can input as robot variables as part of the CLI command:
245
246  ```
247  -v OPENBMC_HOST:<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
248  -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:<openbmc username>
249  -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:<openbmc password>
250  ```
251
252- Testing in qemu:
253
254  Set extra environment variables:
255
256  ```
257  $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
258  $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
259  ```
260
261  Run the QEMU CI test suite (not all tests will pass in qemu):
262
263  ```
264  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x SSH_PORT=<port number> HTTPS_PORT=<port number> robot -A test_lists/QEMU_CI tests/
265  ```
266
267- Run tests:
268
269  ```
270  $ tox tests
271  ```
272
273- How to run an individual test:
274
275  ```
276  $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
277  ```
278
279- No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported
280  systems:
281
282  ```
283  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
284  ```
285
286- No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:
287
288  ```
289  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
290  ```
291
292- No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:
293
294  ```
295  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
296  ```
297
298- No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test cases
299  using argument file:
300
301  ```
302  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
303  ```
304
305- Exclude test list for supported systems:
306
307  ```
308  Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
309  Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
310  ```
311
312  Using the exclude lists (example for Witherspoon)
313
314  ```
315  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx -A test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon tests/
316  ```
317
318- Run IPMI tests:
319
320  Running only out-of-band IPMI tests:
321
322  ```
323  $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_inband_ipmi tests/ipmi/
324  ```
325
326  Running only inband IPMI tests:
327
328  ```
329  $ 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/
330  ```
331
332- Run GUI tests:
333
334  By default, GUI runs with Firefox browser and headless mode. Example with
335  Chrome browser and header mode:
336
337  ```
338  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v GUI_BROWSER:gc -v GUI_MODE:header gui/test/
339  ```
340
341  Run GUI default CI test bucket:
342
343  ```
344  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/BMC_WEB_CI gui/test/
345  ```
346
347- Run LDAP tests:
348
349  Before using LDAP test functions, be sure appropriate LDAP user(s) and
350  group(s) have been created on your LDAP server. Note: There are multiple ways
351  to create LDAP users / groups and all depend on your LDAP server. One common
352  way for openldap is ldapadd / ldapmodify refer
353  https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapadd For ldapsearch, refer to
354  "https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch". Microsoft ADS: refer to
355  https://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/Microsoft-Active-Directory-Domain-Services-AD-DS
356
357  Note: Currently, LDAP test automation for Redfish API is in progress. The
358  format to invoke LDAP test is as follows:
359
360  ```
361  $ cd redfish/account_service/
362  $ 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
363  ```
364
365- How to run CI and CT bucket test:
366
367  Default CI test bucket list:
368
369  ```
370  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
371  ```
372
373  Default CI smoke test bucket list:
374
375  ```
376  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
377  ```
378
379- Run extended tests:
380
381  For-loop test (default iteration is 10):
382
383  ```
384  $ 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
385  ```
386
387  Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":
388
389  ```
390  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
391  ```
392
393- Host CPU architecture
394
395  By default openbmc-test-automation framework assumes that host CPU is based on
396  the POWER architecture. If your host CPU is x86 add
397  `-v PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE:x86` variable setting to your CLI commands or set an
398  environment variable:
399
400  ```
401  $ export PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE=x86
402  ```
403
404**Jenkins jobs tox commands**
405
406- HW CI tox command:
407
408  ```
409  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
410  ```
