MeeGo Core Test Suites Development Guideline (Proposal)

Test Definition

Test Case Naming

  • Show the purpose clearly, avoid simply use number.
  • Name length should be less than 30
  • Use '_' to connect words

File header

  • Copyright
  • License
  • Author
  • Changelog
  • Template

Source Checklist (recommended)

  • README ( template )(template2)
  • src/ : contain source files
  • utils/: contain utility and tools if any
  • Makefile(or Makefile.am, configure.ac, autogen.sh)
  • tests.xml
  • data/: contain small data files (For big data such as media content, need separate package)
  • pack.sh: the script to generate rpm package
  • test.spec: spec files to create rpm package

Makefile (or autoconf/automake)

  • make : build test suite.
  • make install: install whole test suite (binary, script, utils, helper, data) into /opt/{PACKAGE}, and tests.xml into /usr/share/<testpackagename>/tests.xml
  • make clean: remove all object file and tempory files
  • make uninstall: remove test binary, scripts, and tests.xml out of target installation directory.

Coding Style

Test Case Design

  • Common Rule:
    • Short: Test case should test one and only one test point
    • Clear result: Test case should return clear Pass/Fail result
    • Self explanatory: Test case should be easy to understand
    • Avoid duplicated code: Use common functions or classes as much as possible
    • Automate test under condition of stability
    • Main function should keep simple and structure keep neat.
    • For across-test common function, create separated lib file.
    • No dependency on other test case.
    • No dependency on UX or vertical specific apps.
    • No dependency on test framework.
    • Use relative path to access dependency files inside test package such as helper, util and data
    • Platform irrelevant
    • Clean environment after test complete.
    • If parameters number greater than 3, use getopts
    • Enough comments
  • Test Coverage Category Rules:
    • Thorough
      • Cover all APIs.
      • Test case targets for usage (API combination) instead of single API.
      • With Parm-pairs of equivalence partitioning and boundary condition (All-pairs optional)
    • Average
      • High risk APIs(e.g. new functionality relevant APIs) should be covered with thorough test rules
      • Legacy or low risk APIs are covered only with basic tests
    • Lightweight
      • Test most critical functionality
