OPNFV Release
...
E (Euphrates)
The intention of the Barometer test in the OPNFV E release is simply to extend the test suite that was developed in the D release with new tests for the following features:
Theme: OPNFV Platform Equivalence | Test Jira |
|---|---|
RDT Support | |
Platform Legacy Support (IPMI) | |
RAS Support | |
PMU Support | |
Libvirt Support | |
vSwitch Health | |
PCIe Error reporting | |
SNMP write plugin | |
Aodh plugin | |
Gnocchi Support | |
ETSI TST008 Alignment | |
| clock speed and power state (CPU + platform) | |
| Plugin rename to barometer as part of Apex Support | |
| Integration with Apex | Covered by all the other testing JIRAs |
| Euphrates Stretch Goals | |
| collectd agent extensions | |
Host Health Support | |
Functest Test Case Extension Proposal
Project: Barometer (formerly known as SFQM – Software Fastpath Service Quality Metrics)
Authors/Contributors: Calin Gherghe (Intel Corp)
Test Case Name: BarometerCollectd
Test Type: External (i.e. test code will be kept in the project repository)
Test Tier: features
Test Constrains:
Scenario(s) (in order of priority):
os-nosdn-bar-noha
os-nosdn-bar-ha
os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk_bar-noha
os-nosdn-kvm_ovs_dpdk_bar-ha
Installer(s): Apex
Test Scope:
The test is intended to validate individually the collectd plugins which are part of the Barometer project, therefore is constituted as a test-suite.
The verifications are aimed to check the functionality according to the default (current) status and configuration of each plugin.
Testing is targeting the Compute Node(s) in the POD. No modifications are expected to be done on the target systems.
The tests’ key focus is to confirm the corresponding metrics (and/or events) are properly dispatched by the read-plugins, respectively properly sent by the output plugins.
The list of covered plugins is subject to change as the project evolves.
Output (write-type) plugins: Ceilometer
Input (read-type) plugins: Intel RDT, Hugepages, Memory RAS, OVS Stats and Events, BIOS
Third-party Dependencies: The test may rely on the existing ‘logfile’, ‘csv’, and ‘exec’ collectd plugins
Test Code: Python and bash
Test Criteria: status == PASS
Test Declarations
The following files are proposed to be patched:
1. testcases.yaml (/home/opnfv/repos/functest/ci/testcases.yaml). Add the following block to
declare the test and its constrains:
name: BarometerCollectd
criteria: 'status == "PASS"'
blocking: false
description: >-
Test suite for the Barometer project. Separate tests verify the proper configuration and
functionality of the following collectd plugins: Ceilometer, Intel RDT, Hugepages, Memory
RAS, OVS Stats and Events, and the plugins mentioned above
dependencies:
installer: 'Apex'
2. Updating the Test cases in the barometer repo to test the new plugins: [barometer.git] / baro_tests /
High Level Testing Procedure:
Note: this has not changed from the D release
For Each Compute Node
Get configuration (Parse collectd.conf or plugin-specific conf file)
For Each Output Plugin
Verify plugin is enabled by default
Verify (sample) metrics (and/or events) are sent
Wait Interval
Verify metrics (and/or events) timestamps are updated
Log Result
For Each Input Plugin
Use Output Plugin if PASS, otherwise use CSV (local files)
Verify plugin is enabled by default
Verify (if any) dependent modules are loaded
Induce events (as applicable)
Verify ALL corresponding metrics and/or events are dispatched
Wait Interval
Induce events (as applicable)
Verify ALL metrics and/or events timestamps are updated
Log Result
Done
Done
Done
Testing Assumptions (Same assumptions for the D release):
- The metrics’ actual values are NOT validated for correctness (at least in this release). Only the metrics list and time stamps are verified.
- If the Output plugin(s) verification fails, the CSV plugin will be enabled and (collectd service restarted) in order to be able to proceed with the Input plugins testing
- Log messages will be generated at every step
- Failure of ANY plugin test would generate an Overall FAIL Result (unless a success_rate criteria is adopted)
- Any change in configuration (such as enabling the CSV plugin if necessary) would be restored upon the tests’ exit.
- Testing will exit when all loops are completed once. No additional runtime is allotted for checking potential stress failures (such as monitoring over longer time for: memory leaks, traffic congestion, latency issues, disk space, database chocking, etc)
OPNFV Release D (Danube)
MS2: Detailed test case descriptions communicated to test project teams
Due: 11/22/2016
Detailed Milestone Description (per OPNFV Danube Wiki): Each feature project team will complete a
test plan, describing the test cases that they intend to use to validate their project, including pass/fail
criteria, and will share this plan with the test working group and other team members and solicit
feedback. The test plan will also describe dependencies on any new test capability that is not currently
available through existing test frameworks and how these dependencies will be satisfied. Project teams
are encouraged to attend the Test Working Group meeting, or to setup separate meetings to discuss
requirements
