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`redfish/`: Contains the general test cases for OpenBMC stack functional
157verification.
158
159`systest/`: Contains test cases for HTX bootme testing.
160
161`xcat/`: Contains test cases for XCAT automation.
162
163`gui/test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based interface built on
164AngularJS.
165
166`gui/gui_test/`: Contains test cases for testing web-based user interface built
167on Vue.js.
168
169`pldm/`: Contains test cases for platform management subsystem (base, bios, fru,
170platform, OEM).
171
172`snmp/`: Contains test cases for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
173configuration testing.
174
175`openpower/`: Contains test cases for an OpenPOWER based system.
176
177`tools/`: Contains various tools.
178
179`templates/`: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.
180
181`test_list/`: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases (e.g
182"skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or grouping them (e.g "HW_CI",
183"CT_basic_run", etc.).
184
185## Redfish Test Layout
186
187OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry
188standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for
189simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.
190
191`redfish/`: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on
192OpenBMC.
193
194`redfish/extended/`: Contains test cases for combined DMTF Redfish-related
195feature supported on OpenBMC. Some of the test will be deprecated.
196
197Note: Work in progress test development parameter
198`-v REDFISH_SUPPORT_TRANS_STATE:1` to force the test suites to execute in
199redfish mode only.
200
201## Quickstart
202
203To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python
204packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox version
2052.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.
206
207**Robot Command Line**
208
209- Execute all test suites for `tests/`:
210
211  ```
212  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
213  ```
214
215- Execute a test suite:
216
217  ```
218  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot
219  ```
220
221- Initialize the following test variables which will be used during test
222  execution:
223
224  User can forward declare as environment variables:
225
226  ```
227  $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
228  $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
229  $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
230  $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
231  ```
232
233  or
234
235  User can input as robot variables as part of the CLI command:
236
237  ```
238  -v OPENBMC_HOST:<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
239  -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:<openbmc username>
240  -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:<openbmc password>
241  ```
242
243- Testing in qemu:
244
245  Set extra environment variables:
246
247  ```
248  $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
249  $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
250  ```
251
252  Run the QEMU CI test suite (not all tests will pass in qemu):
253
254  ```
255  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x SSH_PORT=<port number> HTTPS_PORT=<port number> robot -A test_lists/QEMU_CI tests/
256  ```
257
258- Run tests:
259
260  ```
261  $ tox tests
262  ```
263
264- How to run an individual test:
265
266  ```
267  $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
268  ```
269
270- No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported
271  systems:
272
273  ```
274  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
275  ```
276
277- No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:
278
279  ```
280  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
281  ```
282
283- No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:
284
285  ```
286  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
287  ```
288
289- No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test cases
290  using argument file:
291
292  ```
293  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
294  ```
295
296- Exclude test list for supported systems:
297
298  ```
299  Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
300  Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
301  ```
302
303  Using the exclude lists (example for Witherspoon)
304
305  ```
306  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx -A test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon tests/
307  ```
308
309- Run IPMI tests:
310
311  Running only out-of-band IPMI tests:
312
313  ```
314  $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_inband_ipmi tests/ipmi/
315  ```
316
317  Running only inband IPMI tests:
318
319  ```
320  $ 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/
321  ```
322
323- Run GUI tests:
324
325  By default, GUI runs with Firefox browser and headless mode. Example with
326  Chrome browser and header mode:
327
328  ```
329  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v GUI_BROWSER:gc -v GUI_MODE:header gui/test/
330  ```
331
332  Run GUI default CI test bucket:
333
334  ```
335  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/BMC_WEB_CI gui/test/
336  ```
337
338- Run LDAP tests:
339
340  Before using LDAP test functions, be sure appropriate LDAP user(s) and
341  group(s) have been created on your LDAP server. Note: There are multiple ways
342  to create LDAP users / groups and all depend on your LDAP server. One common
343  way for openldap is ldapadd / ldapmodify refer
344  https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapadd For ldapsearch, refer to
345  "https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch". Microsoft ADS: refer to
346  https://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/Microsoft-Active-Directory-Domain-Services-AD-DS
347
348  Note: Currently, LDAP test automation for Redfish API is in progress. The
349  format to invoke LDAP test is as follows:
350
351  ```
352  $ cd redfish/account_service/
353  $ 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
354  ```
355
356- How to run CI and CT bucket test:
357
358  Default CI test bucket list:
359
360  ```
361  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
362  ```
363
364  Default CI smoke test bucket list:
365
366  ```
367  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
368  ```
369
370- Run extended tests:
371
372  For-loop test (default iteration is 10):
373
374  ```
375  $ 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
376  ```
377
378  Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":
379
380  ```
381  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
382  ```
383
384- Host CPU architecture
385
386  By default openbmc-test-automation framework assumes that host CPU is based on
387  the POWER architecture. If your host CPU is x86 add
388  `-v PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE:x86` variable setting to your CLI commands or set an
389  environment variable:
390
391  ```
392  $ export PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE=x86
393  ```
394
395**Jenkins jobs tox commands**
396
397- HW CI tox command:
398
399  ```
400  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
401  ```
402
