= Introduction =
= Introduction =
This test plan defines test targets/components, scope, strategy, configurations as well as test execution cycles for 1.5 version of Yocto.
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}}.


=== Targets / Components to Be Tested ===
= Objectives =
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.


= 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:


* Core build system: includes build system tests also using additional features and tweaks for it.
== Build System ==
* Hob2: It includes functional tests for both frontend and backend of Hob2.
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.
* Yocto ADT: It includes cross-toolchain, Eclipse plugin tests.
* BSPs: The core OS feature included Yocto kernel, distribution components(like connman, smart updater & zypper), file system.
* 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.
* 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).
* Compliance testing: LSB, LTP and POSIX tests are ran on the the selected targets.
* Stress testing: Helltest + Crashme test suites are ran.


=== 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.


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


The following matrix represents the target images that will be validated in QA Test in 1.5.

=== Test Strategy and Approach ===
QA will cover following tests for each target in each round fullpass testing.


== Target System ==
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.

* as mentioned in the Weekly test section, the weekly tests will cover the basic functionalities of the component.
* 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.

The scope of BSP testing is to make sure that the core BSPs have basic functionality, like described below:
*Boot Test: Check if Yocto image is bootable with the bootloader.
*Installation/SW Update Test: Validate the Yocto image installation on hardware platform and software install/removal functions from the end users' perspective. Using zypper/rpm/SMART updater for software updates with hardisk installed image.
*Common system usage Test: shutdown/restart, suspend/resume, init 3/5 boot.
Component Test (aka. Feature Test): Based on sato image features to test. For example:
*Perl
*Rootless X
*Opening 3rd party application
*Code compiling and building binaries on the *-sdk images
*Continuous system updates analysis
(Basic functionality for tested features will be exercised as well as new functionality added in each release.)

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.

Test Areas

Each internal project, under Yocto Project, is an area subject to a testing process. Areas are grouped by the nature of their functionality, as follows:

Build System

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.

BitBake

Functional testing of BitBake, as a build engine, with all its features and components, against various configuration and scenarios.

HOB

Functional and usability testing of HOB as a graphical user interface for BitBake.

Metadata

Testing the core metadata of the Yocto Project is mainly covered in the overall testing process, through other #Test Areas like #BitBake and #HOB mentioned above.

Build Performance

The performance of the build system is tracked, with regards to time spent on passing through a build process, in multiple, commonly used, configurations.

Sanity Test

Brief and quick automated tests, with execution time of maximum 10 minutes.

  • Objective
    • Build finished with no errors;
    • Check basic QEMU image functionality, e.g. boot, network, package manager, etc.;
    • Establish if testing cycle can continue, depending on the build type.

Weekly Test

  • Scope
    • Images built weekly and released through the distribution team.
    • Passed #Sanity Test
  • Objective
    • Functionality test on most areas with minimum sets of tests;
    • Regression test with high probability to find bugs.

Full Pass Test

  • Scope
    • Images built as candidates for milestone or final release;
    • Passed #Weekly Test
  • Objective
    • Ensure functionality of all Yocto Project components.

Release Test

  • Objective
    • All scheduled features are covered, or rescheduled;
    • All relevant bugs are fixed and verified.
  • Coverage
