.Dt TESTS 7
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm tests
|
|
.Nd introduction to the FreeBSD Test Suite
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Test Suite provides a collection of automated tests for two major purposes.
|
|
On one hand, the test suite aids
|
|
.Em developers
|
|
to detect bugs and regressions when they modify the source tree. On the other
|
|
hand, it allows
|
|
.Em end users
|
|
(and, in particular, system administrators) to verify that fresh installations
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
operating system behave correctly on their hardware platform and also to ensure
|
|
that the system does not suffer from regressions during regular operation and
|
|
maintenance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Test Suite can be found in the
|
|
.Pa /usr/tests
|
|
hierarchy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This manual page describes how to run the test suite and how to configure
|
|
some of its optional features.
|
|
.Ss Installing the test suite
|
|
The test suite is not yet installed by default as part of
|
|
.Fx ,
|
|
but this is bound to change during the development of
|
|
.Fx 11.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa /usr/tests
|
|
directory is missing, then you will have to enable the build of the test
|
|
suite, rebuild your system and install the results.
|
|
You can do so by setting
|
|
.Sq WITH_TESTS=yes
|
|
in your
|
|
.Pa /etc/src.conf
|
|
file (see
|
|
.Xr src.conf 5
|
|
for details)
|
|
and rebuilding the system as described in
|
|
.Xr build 7 .
|
|
.Ss When to run the tests?
|
|
Before diving into the details of how to run the test suite, here are some
|
|
scenarios in which you should run it:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
After a fresh installation of
|
|
.Fx
|
|
to ensure that the system works correctly on your hardware platform.
|
|
.It
|
|
After an upgrade of
|
|
.Fx
|
|
to a different version to ensure that the new code works well on your
|
|
hardware platform and that the upgrade did not introduce regressions in your
|
|
configuration.
|
|
.It
|
|
After modifying the source tree to detect any new bugs and/or regressions.
|
|
.It
|
|
Periodically, maybe from a
|
|
.Xr cron 8
|
|
job, to ensure that any changes to the system (such as the installation of
|
|
third-party packages or manual modifications to configuration files) do not
|
|
introduce unexpected failures.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Running the tests
|
|
First, you will need to install the
|
|
.Sq devel/kyua
|
|
package from
|
|
.Xr ports 7 .
|
|
Then use the following command to run the whole test suite:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ kyua test -k /usr/tests/Kyuafile
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The above will iterate through all test programs in
|
|
.Pa /usr/tests
|
|
recursively, execute them, store their results and debugging data in Kyua's
|
|
database (by default in
|
|
.Pa ~/.kyua/store.db ) ,
|
|
and print a summary of the results.
|
|
This summary includes a brief count of all total tests run and how many of
|
|
them failed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to restrict which tests to run by providing their names in
|
|
the command line.
|
|
For example, this would execute the tests for the
|
|
.Xr cp 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr cut 1
|
|
utilities:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ kyua test -k /usr/tests/Kyuafile bin/cp usr.bin/cut
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Ss Obtaining reports of the tests execution
|
|
Additional information about the test results can be retrieved
|
|
by using Kyua's various reporting commands.
|
|
For example, the following would print a plain-text report of the executed
|
|
tests and show which ones failed:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ kyua report
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This example would generate an HTML report ready to be published on a
|
|
web server:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
$ kyua report-html --output ~/public_html/tests
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For further details on the command-line interface of Kyua, please refer
|
|
to its manual page
|
|
.Xr kyua 1 .
|
|
.Ss Configuring the tests
|
|
Some test cases in the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Test Suite require manual configuration by the administrator before they can be
|
|
run. Unless certain properties are defined, the tests that require them will
|
|
be skipped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Test suites are configured by defining their configuration
|
|
variables in
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/kyua/kyua.conf .
|
|
The format of this file is detailed in
|
|
.Xr kyua.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following configuration variables are available in the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Test Suite:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "allow_sysctl_side_effects"
|
|
.It allow_devfs_side_effects
|
|
If defined, enables tests that may destroy and recreate semipermanent device
|
|
nodes, like disk devices. Without this variable, tests may still create and
|
|
destroy devices nodes that are normally transient, like /dev/tap* and
|
|
/dev/pts*, as long as they clean them up afterwards. However, tests that
|
|
require this variable have a relaxed cleanup requirement; they must recreate
|
|
any devices that they destroyed, but not necessarily with the same devnames.
|
|
.It allow_sysctl_side_effects
|
|
Enables tests that change globally significant
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables. The tests will undo any changes in their cleanup phases.
|
|
.It disks
|
|
Must be set to a space delimited list of disk device nodes. Tests that need
|
|
destructive access to disks must use these devices. Tests are not required to
|
|
preserve any data present on these disks.
|
|
.It fibs
|
|
Must be set to a space delimited list of FIBs (routing tables). Tests that
|
|
need to modify a routing table may use any of these. Tests will cleanup any
|
|
new routes that they create.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss What to do if something fails?
|
|
If there is
|
|
.Em any failure
|
|
during the execution of the test suite, please consider reporting it to the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
developers so that the failure can be analyzed and fixed.
|
|
To do so, either send a message to the appropriate mailing list or file a
|
|
problem report.
