Setting Up CORD Tester Environment

Configure Automation Framework

• When the POD/Cord-in-a-Box is installed, cord-tester repo is downloaded on the head node at /opt/cord/test directory

• Tests can be run directly from the headnode or from a different VM then it can be done using the following command:

  git clone https://gerrit.opencord.org/cord-tester
  

• Before executing any tests, proper modules need to be installed which can be done using the following command:

  cd /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/setup
  sudo ./prerequisites.sh --cord
  

Executing Tests

Most of the tests in cord-tester framework are written in python and RobotFramework. Few examples for test execution are shown below

• Executing a sample test

  cd /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/robot/
  pybot SanityPhyPOD.robot
  

Executing Control Plane Tests

• Each control plane test uses input data in json format which are present under /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/cord-api/Tests/data

• Before running control plane tests, a properties file need to be edited as shown below. Update the following attributes accordingly

  $ cd /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/cord-api/Properties
  $ cat RestApiProperties.py
  
  SERVER_IP = 'localhost'
  SERVER_PORT = '9101'
  USER = 'xosadmin@opencord.org'
  PASSWD = ''
  

• To run tests

  cd /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/cord-api/
  pybot <testcase.txt>
  

Executing Functional/Module Tests

• There are several functional tests written to test various modules of CORD independently.

• Before executing module based tests, following steps need to be performed which will create a test container and sets up the environment in the container to run tests.

  cd /opt/cord/test/cord-tester/src/test/setup/
  sudo ./cord-test.py setup -m manifest-cord.json
  

• Run a single test from a module

  sudo ./cord-test.py  run -t dhcp:dhcp_exchange.test_dhcp_1request
