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.
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/ras/`: Contains test cases for RAS (Reliability, Availability and
176Serviceability) for an OpenPOWER system.
177
178`openpower/secureboot/`: Contains test cases for secure boot testing on a secure
179boot feature enabled OpenPOWER system only.
180
181`tools/`: Contains various tools.
182
183`templates/`: Contains sample code examples and setup testing.
184
185`test_list/`: Contains the argument files used for skipping test cases (e.g
186"skip_test", "skip_test_extended", etc.) or grouping them (e.g "HW_CI",
187"CT_basic_run", etc.).
188
189## Redfish Test Layout
190
191OpenBMC is moving steadily towards DTMF Redfish, which is an open industry
192standard specification and schema that meets the expectations of end users for
193simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardware.
194
195`redfish/`: Contains test cases for DMTF Redfish-related feature supported on
196OpenBMC.
197
198`redfish/extended/`: Contains test cases for combined legacy REST and DMTF
199Redfish-related feature supported on OpenBMC.
200
201Note: Work in progress test development parameter
202`-v REDFISH_SUPPORT_TRANS_STATE:1` to force the test suites to execute in
203redfish mode only.
204
205## Quickstart
206
207To run openbmc-automation first you need to install the prerequisite Python
208packages which will help to invoke tests through tox (Note that tox version
2092.3.1 or greater is required) or via Robot CLI command.
210
211**Robot Command Line**
212
213- Execute all test suites for `tests/`:
214
215  ```
216  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx  tests
217  ```
218
219- Execute a test suite:
220
221  ```
222  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:xx.xx.xx.xx redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot
223  ```
224
225- Initialize the following test variables which will be used during test
226  execution:
227
228  User can forward declare as environment variables:
229
230  ```
231  $ export OPENBMC_HOST=<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
232  $ export OPENBMC_USERNAME=<openbmc username>
233  $ export OPENBMC_PASSWORD=<openbmc password>
234  $ export IPMI_COMMAND=<Dbus/External>
235  ```
236
237  or
238
239  User can input as robot variables as part of the CLI command:
240
241  ```
242  -v OPENBMC_HOST:<openbmc machine IP address/hostname>
243  -v OPENBMC_USERNAME:<openbmc username>
244  -v OPENBMC_PASSWORD:<openbmc password>
245  ```
246
247- For QEMU tests, set the following environment variables as well:
248
249  ```
250  $ export SSH_PORT=<ssh port number>
251  $ export HTTPS_PORT=<https port number>
252  ```
253
254- Run tests:
255
256  ```
257  $ tox tests
258  ```
259
260- How to run individual test:
261
262  One specific test:
263
264  ```
265  $ tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test  tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
266  ```
267
268  No preset environment variables, default configuration for all supported
269  systems:
270
271  ```
272  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
273  ```
274
275  No preset environment variables, one test case from a test suite:
276
277  ```
278  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --include Power_On_Test tests/test_basic_poweron.robot
279  ```
280
281  No preset environment variables, the entire test suite:
282
283  ```
284  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- tests
285  ```
286
287  No preset environment variables, the entire test suite excluding test cases
288  using argument file:
289
290  ```
291  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/skip_test tests
292  ```
293
294  Exclude test list for supported systems:
295
296  ```
297  Palmetto:  test_lists/skip_test_palmetto
298  Witherspoon:  test_lists/skip_test_witherspoon
299  ```
300
301- Run IPMI tests:
302
303  Running only out-of-band IPMI tests:
304
305  ```
306  $ robot -v IPMI_COMMAND:External -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/witherspoon/skip_inband_ipmi tests/ipmi/
307  ```
308
309  Running only inband IPMI tests:
310
311  ```
312  $ 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/
313  ```
314
315- Run GUI tests:
316
317  By default, GUI runs with Firefox browser and headless mode. Example with
318  chrome browser and header mode:
319
320  ```
321  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x -v GUI_BROWSER:gc -v GUI_MODE:header gui/test/
322  ```
323
324  Run GUI default CI test bucket:
325
326  ```
327  $ robot -v OPENBMC_HOST:x.x.x.x --argumentfile test_lists/BMC_WEB_CI gui/test/
328  ```
329
330- Run LDAP tests:
331
332  Before using LDAP test functions, be sure appropriate LDAP user(s) and
333  group(s) have been created on your LDAP server. Note: There are multiple ways
334  to create LDAP users / groups and all depend on your LDAP server. One common
335  way for openldap is ldapadd / ldapmodify refer
336  https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapadd For ldapsearch, refer to
337  "https://linux.die.net/man/1/ldapsearch". Microsoft ADS: refer to
338  https://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/Microsoft-Active-Directory-Domain-Services-AD-DS
339
340  Note: Currently, LDAP test automation for Redfish API is in progress. The
341  format to invoke LDAP test is as follows:
342
343  ```
344  $ cd redfish/account_service/
345  $ 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
346  ```
347
348- How to run CI and CT bucket test:
349
350  Default CI test bucket list:
351
352  ```
353  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
354  ```
355
356  Default CI smoke test bucket list:
357
358  ```
359  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/CT_basic_run tests
360  ```
361
362- Run extended tests:
363
364  For-loop test (default iteration is 10):
365
366  ```
367  $ 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
368  ```
369
370  Example using tox testing a test suite for 5 iterations "witherspoon":
371
372  ```
373  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
374  ```
375
376- Host CPU architecture
377
378  By default openbmc-test-automation framework assumes that host CPU is based on
379  the POWER architecture. If your host CPU is x86 add
380  `-v PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE:x86` variable setting to your CLI commands or set an
381  environment variable:
382
383  ```
384  $ export PLATFORM_ARCH_TYPE=x86
385  ```
386
387**Jenkins jobs tox commands**
388
389- HW CI tox command:
390  ```
391  $ OPENBMC_HOST=x.x.x.x tox -e default -- --argumentfile test_lists/HW_CI tests
392  ```
393
