Discussion

Need a better end-to-end test (that exercises model loader/babel, haproxy, resources, traversal, graphadmin)

Need to include testing for services that aren't in the critical flow (sparky, search-data-service, data-router, spike, champ, gizmo, etc)

Suggestions

8th Jan: Testing should cover this case: MSB-198 - Getting issue details... STATUS

20th Feb: Move from CSIT to Robot. See PTL 2019-02-19 presentation https://wiki.onap.org/download/attachments/53249527/Dev%20Testing_Enhancement%20for%20Dublin_V2.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1550580552000&api=v2

21st Feb:

• Trial new robot scripts for BBS use case Keong Lim  AAI-2184 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• develop AAI best practises Contributing To AAI Best Practise
• write up new tutorial AAI Tutorial-Making and Testing a Schema Change - Dublin

Procedure

As of 25th Feb 2019, Nokia Robot Editor (RED) 0.7.0 was replaced by 0.8.11, so that version was installed instead: https://github.com/nokia/RED/releases/

Note that the "product" contains a stand-alone copy of Eclipse, whereas the "feature" is an add-on to a pre-existing installation of Eclipse: https://github.com/nokia/RED/blob/master/installation.md

Setup.sh

Looking into https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=testsuite.git;a=blob;f=setup.sh;hb=HEAD

Due to local differences in my environment, copied the "pip install" commands and ran them individually instead of the whole setup.sh script.

On the heatbridge setup, got "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27" which needs fixing.

chromedriver

As of 25th Feb 2019, chromedriver 2.43 was replaced by 2.46, so that version was installed instead: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.46/

Other

The setup for kafkacat and protobuf does not appear to support Windows, so these were not installed on this environment.

Using RED

Clone testsuite repository, see https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/testsuite

In RED, use File / Open Projects from File System and choose the "testsuite/robot" sub-directory.

Settings section

The Settings section appears to have some references to other files as "Library" or "Resource". These files act as shared modules implementing common sub-routines. The "Documentation" appears to be a comment for the file.

Variables section

This section appears to define variables or macros with values that can be used in the "Keywords" section. They are potentially available to other Robot scripts as well, see also the "global_properties" script.

Keywords section

This section appears to define sub-routines that can be called by other "keywords". The "[Documentation]" appears to be a comment for the sub-routine. The "[Arguments]" appears to be a list of named parameters passed into the sub-routine. The lines that follow appear to be calls to other sub-routines in sequential order. Values can be returned from sub-routines and internal structures of the values can also be extracted and processed.
