OpenTAP is an Open Source project for fast and easy development and execution of automated tests.
OpenTAP is built with simplicity, scalability and speed in mind, and is based on an extendable architecture that leverages .NET.
OpenTAP offers a range of sequencing functionality and infrastructure that makes it possible for you to quickly develop plugins tailored for your automation needs – plugins that can be shared with the OpenTAP community through the OpenTAP package repository.
If you are looking to use OpenTAP, you can get pre-built binaries at https://opentap.io/downloads.
Using the OpenTAP CLI you are now able to download plugin packages from the OpenTAP package repository.
To list and install plugin packages do the following in the command prompt after navigating to the installation folder: (default: C:\Program Files\OpenTAP)
cd "C:\Program Files\OpenTAP" (or the directory you selected in the installer)
tap package listWe recommend that you download the Software Development Kit, or simply the Developer’s System Community Edition provided by Keysight Technologies. The Developer System is a bundle that contains the SDK as well as a graphical user interface and result viewing capabilities. It can be installed by typing the following:
tap package install "Developer's System CE" -yFor a guide on how to develop using OpenTAP, check out our Developer Guide. Note the source can be found on GitHub as well.
Most users build plugins for OpenTAP but if you are interested in building OpenTAP yourself you can clone the git repository at https://github.com/opentap/opentap and build the OpenTAP.sln solution file.
On Windows, Visual Studio 2017 or greater is needed to build. This can be done by opening the solution and pressing F5, or Ctrl-Shift-B.
On Linux you need Microsoft .NET SDK 6.0 to build OpenTAP. You also need some additional dependencies. On Ubuntu, run the following on apt:
sudo apt install libc6-dev libunwind8 curl git -yOnce these are installed, you can build OpenTAP using these commands:
dotnet build -c Release
dotnet publish -c Release
dotnet publish -c Release tap/tap.csprojNote, the last line is there to ensure getting the right System.Runtime.dll.
This creates a Release build. For a debug build, omit -c Release when building.
OpenTAP can be tested using NUnit.
Using Visual Studio 2017, open OpenTAP.sln and run the tests in the TestExplorer.
To run the entire test suite on Linux, run:
dotnet testTo debug the unit tests, set the VSTEST_HOST_DEBUG environment variable to 1. This causes dotnet test to wait for a debugger to become attached.
export VSTEST_HOST_DEBUG=1More documentation and help developing plugins for OpenTAP can be found here: doc.opentap.io.
