QA Tools

Commumity Edition uses same QA Tools as in core Meego. For more information please refer to the Quality/QA-tools.

QA-Tools Task List

List of tasks the QA-Tools are doing for Meego Developer Edition. If you need something from QA please tell it to us :)

OTS setup

• Move to use images from release engineering (1. download image, 2. install automation enablers, core dumping enablers etc. using mic-chroot, 3. install image to device 4. test) - NOT STARTED

Applications for testing

• qt-demos already available from the repos
• Small applications that use Qt mobility APIs to access things like sensors to help manual testing

Test asset

We are using mainly MCTS test assets, so please refer to the MCTS page. You can find list of open bugs also from there.

• List of open bugs for MCTS
  • see priorities below - discuss with Iekku about priorities of open bugs for MCTS tests

1. WLAN cases
2. Call/SMS cases
3. Audio policy framework cases (lower priority)
4. Camera cases (lower priority)
5. Sensor data cases (Qt Mobility, lower priority)

Crash analysis support for ARM core dumps

Automated testing and crash reporting

Core dump processing and backtraces from crashing ARM processes (click the image on right).

• Rich Core dumping
  • Make rich-core dumping to work in MeeGo N900 DE (basic functionality) - DONE (sampos, rikhalon)
    • Changes in MeeGo Gitorious (meego-n900de branch).
    • Dumps are generated in /home/meego/core-dumps
    • In file name, string "xxxx" is used instead of IMEI digits (privacy issue)
    • Get latest packages here
    • Add "-corewatcher" and "-corewatcher-applet" to .ks file to remove overlapping corewatcher.
  • Fix core-reducer (https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17134) - DONE (alkuznet)
  • Oopslog (and lifelog) functionality - NOT STARTED

• Set up back-end server for core processing - ONGOING (rikhalon, sampos, timakima)

• Image building and test run triggered from cron - trigger-testrun.sh -u <URL> - DONE (timakima)

• Implement OTS Conductor plugin to fetch debug package list (before test run) and upload rich-core dumps to post-processing (after testrun )- DONE (rikhalon)

• testrunner-lite sets a UID for each test case on DUT kernel core pattern. So that a coredump can be matched with a test case - DONE (rikhalon)

• Debug image is built (simultaneuosly) on the core proscessing backend server - build-autotest-image.sh -f fs -d -p debug-packet-list -s 8000 -u <URL>, and saved as target for core prosessing - DONE (sampos)

• After each test case, cores matched against the UID are fetched from the DUT by testrunner-lite. - DONE (sampos)
  • testrunner-lite needs to write unique identifier to results.xml e.g. md5 hash from rich-core.

Core Processing Backend

<crashes>
 <crash-id>1234567890ABCDEF</crash-id> 
 <crash-id>1234567890ABCDEF</crash-id>
 <crash-id>1234567890ABCDEF</crash-id>
</crashes>

• The core processing backend extracts the rich core and looks for proper target (if not available waits...) - PofC DONE (sampos)

• The core processing backend chroots to the target with debug symbols and executes statically linked cross gdb for backtrace - DONE (sampos)

• Upload processed crash data using Crash Reports API - DONE (rikhalon)

Boot time measurement

• Measure and optimize N900 boot time (timakima, ONGOING)

CPU load measurement during audio/video playback

Application Manager

• Implement an application manager (similar to one in N900/Fremantle) to control install/uninstall/update applications and other packages. (kyranto, ONGOING).

UX testing

Test execution schedule

• UX testing schedule: DE / Meego.com testing

Performance Testing

Performance testing results done from UI can be found here

Functional Testing

Daily testing

Acceptance/Sanity test is a very brief run-through of the functionality of the entire MeeGo distribution, to assure that the basic health of the distribution and report major regressions at the earliest time. All the checkpoints in acceptance test reflects the most important and basic functionalities of the distribution. We do the acceptance test against Trunk:Testing repo.

• Acceptance (Trunk:Testing)

• Sanity (Trunk:Daily)

Weekly testing

This is QA weekly testing cycle for weekly images released by distribution team. Our testing focus would be *Key feature testing* to cover the key features and ensure MeeGo Handset UX delivered features are basically covered and major issues are exposed in timely fashion, as well as changes introduced from the last build do not break working features. The test covers UX and applications (MeeGo Audio player ,Video player, Dialer, SMS, fennec browser,VKB, Email, Photo Viewer, Calendar, IM and contacts, etc).

• Key Basic Testing

• Data Flow Testing

• Basic Feature Testing

Execution Process

Testing images Community Edition image

Community Edition images

Flashing Image to MMC

• Daily Testing image called a Acceptance image
• Daily Stable image called a Sanity image
• Every Monday stable image is called as Weekly Image

Execution

• Download Test Sets from gitorious Test Sets by using git
• List all test cases in a a spreadsheet application (LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org Calc, Microsoft Excel, etc.) and create a .csv file (Example csv file)
• Test cases verdict

   Pass = If all the steps and Functionality is as per expected
   Fail =  If any of the one step or Functionality is not as per expected 
   N/A = If the test cases are not executable due to the absence of related package in the image, the test results should be N/A
   Blocked = This is a special value required in the situations where verdict cannot be given due to failure in preconditions

• Upload Test report to with respective Test cycle in QA reporting tool QA Reporting tool

Reporting bugs

• Bugs are reported in Bugzilla.
• How to report bugs
• File a new bug:
  • Search for an already existing report in Bugzilla.
  • If a similar report is found, check the Hardware Platform. If it is the same there is no need to file a new report.
  • If the bug is in CLOSED or VERIFIED status and this status was set more than four weeks ago (you can check via the "History" link), file a new report (and mention the bug number of the old report) instead of reopening the existing report.
  • If no similar report is found, file a new bug report.

Questions or Doubts

Any question please leave your query in #meego-arm (irc.freenode.net) or you can meego-qa mailing list

Suggestion about updating of this page Srikanth Yarlagadda

Questions about execution and reporting please ping me in IRC srikanth_rst

Core Testing

QA Tasks For Developer Edition

QA tasks for the Developer Edition differ from the usual N900 approach in that there are less features to be tested. This is described in more detail in Developer Edition Targets. There are currently 2 test sets for the Developer Edition, these are the Sanity Test Set and the Feature Test Set. They are described below.

Test Sets

Sanity Test Set

The sanity set should be run automatically on every image. As such it must meet the following requirements:

• 100% automated
• Testing only basic features

Feature Test Set

The feature set will be run periodically and will test the basic features as well as enablers for those features (e.g. PIM for phoning contacts). Performance will also be analysed, at the moment, this will include browser startup time, a CPU/Memory benchmark, files system, and power measurement, but this will be explained later.

Suggestions are welcome.

Testing schedule

Core QA Team Backlog

The Core QA team intends to keep its backlog as public as possible. The limitation on this is the amount of work generated by doing this. We will attempt to keep an up-to-date lists of tasks and progress on these tasks. At the moment, the task list looks like this:

Backlog

• Reliability testset planning
• 1.3 Vanilla vs 1.2 DE current measurements
• DE Filesystem benchmark
