Extensible SDK Test Plan (eSDK)

This article is the test plan for eSDK.

About eSDK

Extensible SDK makes it easy to add new applications and libraries to an image, edit the source for an existing component, test the changes on the target hardware, and also allow you to integrate into the rest of OpenEmbedded build system. In order to Setting up the extensible SDK please go to Setting Up to Use the Extensible SDK.

Objectives

Verify all Extensible SDK components to be fully functional. Components to be verified:

Scope

eSDK

• eSDK Installation.
• eSDK Setup.

Devtool features to be tested:

• Add a new recipe.
• Modify the source for an existing recipe.
• Upgrade an existing recipe.
• Show work-space status.
• Search available recipes.
• Edit a recipe file in your work-space.
• Get help on configure script options.
• Build a recipe.
• Apply changes from external source tree to recipe.
• Remove a recipe from your work-space.
• Deploy recipe output files to live target machine.
• Un-deploy recipe output files in live target machine.
• Build packages for a recipe.
• Add Native Tools.
• Build image including work-space recipe packages.
• Run QEMU on the specified image.
• Build a derivative SDK of this one.
• Extract the source for an existing recipe.
• Synchronize the source tree for an existing recipe.
• Update SDK components.
• Install additional SDK components.
• Locating Pre-Built SDK Installers.

Node.js

• Add Node.js Modules

Test Strategy

There are several test approaches for Extensible SDK, such as: Perform test cases agreed upon the development during periodic Manual (full pass) according to the Schedule. Write new test cases based on developer request or new features as required. Maintain current test cases and update them accordingly the new changes. Perform exploratory testing on existing functionalities.

Test automation

Currently the execution of the cases is using "testsdkext" automation below are the three scenarios that should be tested

• Test Building the eSDK installer:

  1. Clone poky and source the environment 
     $ source oe-init-build-env 

  2. Add proper configuration to local.conf
     $ echo 'SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"' >> conf/local.conf 
     $ echo 'INHERIT += "testsdk"' >> conf/local.conf

  3. Build eSDK intaller
     $ bitbake core-image-minimal  -c populate_sdk_ext -v 

  4. Execute the tests 
     $ bitbake core-image-minimal -c testsdkext

  5. All test should be PASSED 

• Test using Pre-Built SDK Installers:

  1. Under poky/ do another build folder different from the previous scenario 
     $ source oe-init-build-env build-pre-built

  2. Add proper configuration to local.conf
     $ echo 'SDK_EXT_TYPE = "minimal"' >> conf/local.conf 
     $ echo 'INHERIT += "testsdk"' >> conf/local.conf

  3. Create sdk directory
     $ mkdir -p tmp/deploy/sdk

  4. Download artifacts form AB under new folder created 
     $ cd  tmp/deploy/sdk  
     $ wget <AB_LINK>/toolchain/x86_64/<ARTIFACTS_NEEDED>
        
         Example:
         $ wget https://autobuilder.yocto.io/pub/releases/yocto-2.4_M3.rc1/toolchain/x86_64/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.3.host.manifest   
         
         NOTE: All the artifacts that should be downloaded are:
           - poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.3.target.manifest
           - poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.3.host.manifest
           - poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.3.sh
           - poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.3.testdata.jason

   5. Give execution permissions to sh files and rename files
     $ chmod +x *.sh
     $ for file in *<RELEASE>*; do mv "$file" "${file/<RELEASE>/<RELEASE>+snapshot}"; done
       Example execute below command: 
        $ for file in *2.3*; do mv "$file" "${file/2.3/2.3+snapshot}"; done

   6. Go back to poky build folder "poky/build-pre-built"
     $ cd - 

   7. Prepare the environment to execute tests     
     $ bitbake libxml2

   8. Execute the test   
     $ bitbake core-image-minimal -c testsdkext

   9. All test should be PASSED

   NOTE: There are 4 combinations of tests that should be executed 
        - qemux86 + minimal --> (poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext*)
        - qemux86 + sato    --> (poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-i586-toolchain-ext*)
        - qemux86-64 + minimal  --> (poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-core2-64-toolchain-ext*)
        - qemux86-64 + sato     --> (poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-core2-64-toolchain-ext*)

• Test eSDK as part of the oe-selftest suite

  1. Under poky/ do another build folder different from the previous scenario 
     $ source oe-init-build-env build-esdk-selftest

  2. Avoid Sanity Distro validation 
     $  echo 'SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS = ""' >> conf/local.conf 

  3. Execute the tests 
     $ oe-selftest -r eSDK

  4. All test cases should be PASS

Test Approach

Sanity testing

• Not covered at this moment
• TBD following DEV discussions

Performance and Stress

• Usability

Regression

• Regression testing will be covered on Automation execution.

Submitting Bugs

Being part of the Yocto Project, eSDK follows the same Yocto Project guidelines and principles. The guidelines can be found at https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Community_Guidelines. eSDK bugs are no different and are tracked into Bugzilla, the official Yocto Project bug tracker. Learn more about our process for reporting bugs.
