= Introduction =
This article is the overall test plan for version 1.5 of the {{ns:4}}.
It contains an overview of the testing process, such as testing areas, types, cycles and reports, along with a summary and objective for each of the conducted validation activities.
Further on, sections may be linked to other articles that contain further details or information related to them.
Note that the information provided in this article, or articles linked here, is subject to changes when needed as to reflect the actual activities held for the current version of the {{ns:4}}.


== Yocto 1.5 Test Execution Plan ==
= Objectives =
This test plan defines test targets/components, scope, strategy, configurations as well as test execution cycles for 1.5 version of Yocto.
The test process is mainly focused to track and review the quality and performance of the {{ns:4}}, along with its reference system and internal projects.
The plan also includes identifying and tracking areas subject to improvement, regression, validation of enhancements and bugs, development of testing methods with emphasis on automated testing.
Documentation and licensing status is not included in the scope of the testing process, unless otherwise noted e.g. as part of the process of verifying new features.


=== Targets / Components to Be Tested ===
= Test Areas =
Each internal project, under {{ns:4}}, is an area subject to a testing process. Areas are grouped by the nature of their functionality, as follows:


[TODO] - this list must be reviewed
== Build System ==
* Core OS: The core OS feature included Yocto kernel, distribution components(like connman, smart updater & zypper), file system. [TODO]
The build engine and the surrounding components, that provide the means to build an image or bake a bit of software. In this area the ''build-time'' tests are executed.
* Core build system: includes build system tests also using additional features and tweaks for it.
* Hob2: It includes functional tests for both frontend and backend of Hob2.
* Yocto ADT: It includes cross-toolchain, Eclipse plugin tests.
* Performance: Checks the CPU power behavior by software level tool, such as '''powertop'''. Real Power consumption when idle is collected. The performance of the build system is also recorded. [TODO]
* Distribution support: Current versions for supported distributions are tested along with one previous version and the beta release for the next one (the supported distributions are Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS and OpenSUSE).[TODO]
* Compliance testing: LSB, LTP and POSIX tests are ran on the the selected targets. [TODO]
* Stress testing: Helltest + Crashme test suites are ran.[TODO]


=== What will not Be Tested in Yocto v1.5 ===                                                                                                                                                                          
=== BitBake ===
Following feature categories won't be tested by QA team in Yocto v1.5:
Functional testing of BitBake, as a build engine, with all its features and components, against various configuration and scenarios.
* Documentation: QA will not validate the correctness of each documentation.
* License file: license files and legal process are owned by Distro team.
[TODO]


=== Test Environment ===
=== HOB ===
==== Test Platform matrix ====
Functional and usability testing of HOB as a graphical user interface for BitBake.


[TODO] - add the test platform matrix with all the core bsps that tests will be performed on
=== Metadata ===
Testing the core metadata of the {{ns:4}} is mainly covered in the overall testing process, through other [[#Test Areas]] like [[#BitBake]] and [[#HOB]] mentioned above.


Notes:
=== Build Performance ===
* Fullpass testing defined in execution plan will be performed against sato-sdk image.
The performance of the build system is tracked, with regards to time spent on passing through a build process, in multiple, commonly used, configurations.
* The atom images are both emgd and no-emgd images
; Tool: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/scripts/contrib/build-perf-test.sh
; Results page: [[Performance Test]]


=== Test Strategy and Approach ===
== Target System ==
QA will cover following tests for each target in each round fullpass testing.
Area focused on a target operating system or an application that comes with it, as the output of a build process. In this area the ''run-time'' tests are executed.


[TODO] - define the matrix for what Yocto component tests will be performed on each target.

|}


Note:
* Compliance Test on Beagleboard and routerstation will only cover LTP and POSIX Test, since LSB test suite does not support ARM and MIPS.
* Jasperforest is selected for stress test, because it is powerful with 12 CPUs and 2GB memory. Moreover, it is a server, which needs more stress tests.


=== QEMU Machine ===
Covering all core, QEMU, machine definitions:
* qemuarm
* qemumips
* qemuppc
* qemux86
* qemux86-64


== Test Levels ==
