This repository is dedicated to host any tests written using the Avocado[1] API. It is being initially populated with tests ported from autotest client tests repository, but it's not limited by that.
Once you have the avocado installed, you can run the tests like below:
$ avocado run avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py JOB ID : 0018adbc07c5d90d242dd6b341c87972b8f77a0b JOB LOG : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job-2016-01-18T15.32-0018adb/job.log TESTS : 1 (1/1) avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py:Stress.test: PASS (62.67 s) RESULTS : PASS 1 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 JOB HTML : $HOME/avocado/job-results/job-2016-01-18T15.32-0018adb/html/results.html TIME : 62.67 s
To run test that requires paramters, you'll need to populated the provided YAML
files in the corresponding *.py.data directory. In each directory, there
should be a README explaining what each parameter cooresponds to. Once you have
the YAML file populated you can run the test like below:
# avocado run avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py -m avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py.data/bootlist_test_network.yaml JOB ID : bd3c103f1b2fff2d35b507f83a03d1ace4a008c5 JOB LOG : /root/avocado-fvt-wrapper/results/job-2021-04-15T14.33-bd3c103/job.log (1/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_normal_mode;run-8e25: PASS (0.99 s) (2/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_service_mode;run-8e25: PASS (0.69 s) (3/3) avocado-misc-tests/io/common/bootlist_test.py:BootlisTest.test_both_mode;run-8e25: PASS (1.36 s) RESULTS : PASS 3 | ERROR 0 | FAIL 0 | SKIP 0 | WARN 0 | INTERRUPT 0 | CANCEL 0 JOB HTML : /root/avocado-fvt-wrapper/results/job-2021-04-15T14.33-bd3c103/results.html JOB TIME : 13.43 s
Tests are be organized per category basis, each category with its own directory. Additionally, the tests are categorized by the use of the following tags[2] by functional area:
- cpu - Exercises a system's CPU
- net - Exercises a system's network devices or networking stack
- storage - Exercises a system's local storage
- fs - Exercises a system's file system
Tags by architecture:
- x86_64 - Requires a x86_64 architecture
- power - Requires a Power architecture
Tags by access privileges:
- privileged - requires the test to be run with the most privileged, unrestricted privileges. For Linux systems, this usually means the root account
