App::TestOnTap - Test driver
Run a suite of test 'executables' in a directory tree, summarize their TAP output and optionally save the aggregated results for later processing.
Version 1.001
# Normally run 'testontap' from a shell prompt: # testontap --jobs 10 path/to/suite/root
NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERED TO BE IN BETA STATE. IT MAY CHANGE IN INCOMPATIBLE WAYS BEFORE THE 1.000 RELEASE.
This package is an application, generally intended to be run from a command line.
The purpose of the application is to act as a "driver", in terms of automatically executing arbitrary test scripts/executables (the "test suite") which in turn perform tests against whatever they're written to test (the "system under test", "SUT"). As such, the application has no idea what the tests actually do, it is only concerned about receiving TAP data back.
To help make the test suite comparatively easy to write and maintain, tests will be autodiscovered in it, based on a test suite configuration, and also, using rules in this configuration, enable control of the execution order of the tests.
Finally, it can optionally aggregate all TAP data into a defined format (e.g. a directory tree or directly to an archive) for later evaluation or other handling elsewhere (e.g. into a database with a custom UI on top).
So, summarizing this into a simple list of general requirements:
Scalable and easy to create small or large test suites.
Test suites could be small, developer oriented with just a few basic smoke-test scripts for quick system- or unit-testing during development, all the way to an enormous number of executables in a test suite for lengthy and in depth system-testing of a deployed system. Therefore the test suite should be easy to set up as an arbitrarily complex directory structure.
Preferably, writing a new test should require focusing almost entirely on the complexities of the test itself (which can certainly have its own challenges!) rather than how it should fit into the suite, at least at first. Thus, it's beneficial if there by default is no particular administration around a given test - just create the test script and it's automatically found and run.
Allow tests to run in a defined order, including when running in parallel.
In many cases, the time it takes to run a test suite is pretty much irrelevant, perhaps because it's fairly seldomly used and run only at night or simply because the tests are few and/or very quick. In these situations, it's ok to have the test driver run the tests in basically any order (currently, simple alphabetic order is used).
However, it may turn out that tests can be parallelized. In the best case, no test is dependent on another, so any amount of parallelization will work (given what a specific host can comfortably handle). In more complex cases, tests may depend on others in various ways so a mechanism is needed to express such dependencies, allowing the driver to schedule test scripts appropriately whether the tests are run one at a time or using 'n' possible parallel slots.
Handle result aggregation for entire test suite, with optional persistence of this data.
In a typical smoke-test test suite used during development, it's probably enough to just rely on eyeballing the test result, so it's enough with simple console based output on which tests worked and which ones failed (including which individual micro-tests failed).
For something like automated daily system tests however, it's typically important to retain the results for perusal later. In more advanced scenarios, such persisted results could be used to build a history of test results, for example measuring trends over the past months, creating graphs of data or similar. For this reason, it is useful if the test results can be packaged in a practical format, e.g. as an archive.
Very loose coupling between this application and test suite, system under test and other variables.
The implementation of the driver should have very little to do with how the tests or the SUT is implemented, or what or how they perform their stuff.
Language and platform agnostic.
Assuming the SUT and/or tests (perhaps exercising the SUT in a remote manner) can run on several platforms, the test driver should also run on the same platforms. Further, consistent with the previous point about loose coupling, the tests and SUT should be possible to implement in whatever language is most convenient.
This application tries to satisfy the above requirements. It provides one cornerstone of what I see as the minimum triplet of independent parts needed to run tests:
Thus, this application provides the first building block in this list. As discussed, it is not really concerned with what the tested product is, nor how the tests exercise it, only how the tests report results.
Each of these parts generally has its own CM and lifecycle need, and may each contain problems that need to be fixed - i.e. when a test fails, it's not necessarily the product that is faulty, the tests or the tool may be too, and so any of them may need adjustment without touching the others. Thus, it for example allows us to use any given version of tests and run them against a range of product versions, say, for finding regression problems.
In practice you may find you need even more parts to complete a full test environment, so unless you hardcode such things in the tests themselves, this application is open enough for you to pass in a number of variable parts - examples would be selecting several different JDK versions, or perhaps different incarnations of a database.
The core mechanism is to use TAP (e.g. "Test Anything Protocol" as defined by http://testanything.org) as the coupling between test executables and the application as the test driver, e.g. very similar to when writing regular Perl module tests. To implement this, the standard "Test::*" and "TAP::*" families of test modules are used, but with the necessary packaging to provide for the other requirements. Since the interface is 'TAP', any language can be used to write the tests.
The definition of a "test suite" includes a configuration file which allows the test suite to directly define which parts of the directory tree should not be scanned for possible tests, how to map "test executables" to how to execute them, as well as a dependency description mechanism for describing required dependencies between tests.
A test suite is basically very simple: it's a directory. To be minimally useful, it needs to contain a single file named with an extension defined in the default "exec mapping" (see more about defaults in configs execmap section).
So, assuming this:
foo/ -- bar/ -- -- simple_suite/ -- -- -- mytest.pl
Nothing more is necessary. By running "testontap foo/bar/simple_suite", it will find and execute the file as "perl mytest.pl", passing a small number of environment variables with information on, for example, a temporary directory it can use if necessary. If any extra command line args had been given they would also be transmitted to the test for it to use in any way it likes. As long as mytest.pl reports test progress using TAP, all is well. At this point, any number of other scripts can be added, including organizing them in whatever structure makes sense for you.
However, the test suite should preferably as soon as possible be given a config file in the root of the suite.
A test suite is configured by putting the file config.testontap in the root of the suite. It is technically optional, as some important parts can be generated/use defaults, but it must exist, even if it is empty. If it is completely empty, the generated form will be printed for easy inclusion.
However, while this can be useful just to try things out, it makes it impossible to use any persisted results properly, and obviously will make some functionality unavailable, so it quickly becomes desirable to put one in.
The standard module used for reading this file is Config::Std, please consult this module for general information on the format. In particular, some keys allows multi-line and/or multi-part values.
Also, in several places this file can contain queries (e.g. to select tests) using a query format as described in Grep::Query. Notable here is that queries operate on paths inside the suite, so those are defined as simply the relative path of the file from the root of the suite, and always using '/' as a path delimiter on all platforms. Directories will be suffixed with a '/'.
Generally, this file should at a minimum always contain a line of "id = <UUID>" and an execmap. In fact, if either isn't present, a warning will be displayed.
Empty lines are ignored, and comments can be made by starting the line with '#'. Unknown keys/sections will generate warnings but will otherwise be ignored.
The following keys/sections are valid:
This must be set to an UUID.
It will be used to mark results with and thus can be used to distinguish persisted results from different suites. Hence, you should obviously not reuse an id already used for another suite! It is however expected that something processing such results are aware that a suite most likely will change during its lifetime.
Unless you have any other tool to generate an UUID with, a tip is to run the suite once with an empty config file and then cut and paste the generated id.
Example:
id = 61d4c8c3-c827-11e6-a3f8-bea3de08f558
This is optional. The value is a Grep::Query expression, and can be multi-line/part for readability.
If not present, all files/parts of the tree are included/searched for matches given extensions in the "exec mapping" (see below)).
The skip is useful for excluding parts of the suite tree, e.g. parts which are merely data to be used by the tests and that may contain files with extensions that would otherwise be mistaken for active tests.
skip
As the suite is scanned for tests, paths will be tested against the query, and if matching, will be pruned completely from the set of possible tests. In particular, not selecting a directory will prune the entire subtree.
skip = eq(unfinished_test.pl) or regexp{^(.*/)?_data/$}
This would avoid the 'unfinished_test.pl' file and contents of any '_data' directories at any level of the suite.
This is optional, and sets the default ordering strategy for the suite. It may be overridden by the commandline --order flag.
--order
If not given, the default commandline setting applies (none).
none
This is optional. If given, it should describe a simple command line for a command that will be run before tests and this command can influence how to run the tests or their context. It will be run with the suite root set as the current directory. It will be passed the users arguments (if any) and the initial environment, including the special TESTONTAP_* variables (see "PARAMETER PASSING").
At present it supports manipulation of the environment and the arguments that will be passed to the tests. Normally, all tests, for better or worse, will be run with the environment active when TestOnTap was started. However, occasionally a test suite may want for example, to ensure that some variables aren't present or that they only have certain values, or similar. Same goes for the arguments.
If the script runs and wants to set a specific environment/argument list, it must follow a specific protocol by printing the desired values enclosed with begin/end lines.
Here's an example:
# BEGIN ARGV --file /tmp/some dir name/thefile # END ARGV # BEGIN ENV SOMEVARIABLE=somedata # END ENV
Note that this uses ARGV and ENV as the begin/end markers. In both cases it's one variable or argument part per line.
ARGV
ENV
Note that if an override is made, it must comprise all values as it completely overwrites what was used beforehand! For example, given the above, it's likely no other tests would be possible to run, simply because there is no PATH variable in the variables.
Not printing anything at all is permissible - the current environment is not touched. Lines outside BEGIN/END that are not understood are bypassed with a warning, but incorrect variable definitions are fatal errors.
The preprocess value may be in multi-line/part format, which is required if the command contains whitespace in the individual parts. A plain string will be split on space in order to separate the command into parts.
preprocess
This is similar to "preprocess", but output is effectively ignored. A non-zero exit code will cause a test fail however.
It will be started with the suite root as the current directory and the arguments/environment established after preprocess.
This is optional, but necessary if parallelization using the '--jobs' flag is to be effective (a warning will be generated if the user requests a --jobs value greater than one, but no parallelizable rule is present). The value is a Grep::Query expression, and can be multi-line/part for readability.
If not given, it effectively defaults to forcing all tests to run serially, on the theory that a test not written with the understanding that it could be run in parallel with other tests might end up producing weird results. Hence, it forces the test suite developer to think about this and knowingly turn on parallelizability.
As tests are evaluated as being ready to run, the names will also be matched against the query to evaluate for being allowed to run in parallel. Note that at this point, it will always be files, never directories.
Also note that tests may also be subject to dependency rules (see below), which may or may not impact the ability for them to run in parallel with anything else.
Examples:
parallelizable = regexp(.*)
(or perhaps better, use the 'true' primitive).
In one stroke, this will allow all tests to be parallelizable. Obviously, using 'not' in front, will create a query that ends up acting as the default, i.e. tests are never parallelizable (but it will shut up the --jobs warning).
parallelizable = not eq(some/path/lonely_test.pl) or not eq(another/path/singleton.pl)
E.g. all tests are possible to run in parallel except two special ones.
Also see --jobs and parallelgroups.
--jobs
parallelgroups
There can be many sections of this kind, but they are optional. They only apply when parallelization is active. The name is required, but only used to distinguish between groups internally.
Each section defines, through a query, a set of tests that has a limit on how many of them can be concurrent at the same time.
Each section should contain pairs of key/values named match and maxconcurrent, where the match part defines a a Grep::Query expression to match to test names, and the maxconcurrent limits the concurrency of matching tests.
match
maxconcurrent
Setting a max concurrency to 1 is obviously the same as making them non-parallelizable.
This is in principle optional but recommended. The value is a list of execmap section names, and can be multi-line/part for readability.
The list of section names defines the mapping order and they must be found as detailed below.
If not given, a default/internal list will be used.
Every section mentioned in the execmap list above must be present, but a section not listed is ignored.
execmap
The sections together detail how to decide which files are tests and how they should be executed.
The section should contain pairs of key/values named match and cmd, where the match part defines a a Grep::Query expression to match to test names, and the cmd part defines the command line to use for matching tests.
cmd
NOTE: the cmd value may be empty for tests compiled to native directly executable files, i.e. 'binaries'. On Windows typically '.exe.' files, on Unix/Linux, generally without extension. A recommended strategy is to rename such tests to use the extension '.tbin' and match on that - see the default exec mappings below.
The cmd value may be in multi-line/part format, which is required if the command contains whitespace in the individual parts. A plain string will be split on space in order to separate the command into parts.
execmap = plfiles jarfiles [EXECMAP plfiles] match = regexp/\.(t|pl)$/ cmd = perl [EXECMAP jarfiles] match = regexp(\.jar$) cmd = java = -jar # in this case, could also have been written simpler as 'cmd = java -jar'
This means that any files found with the extensions 'pl' or 't' will be run by 'perl <file>' and that any 'jar' files will be run by 'java -jar <file>'. Any other files will be ignored.
If no "execmap" list is present, an internal one with corresponding sections will be used, equivalent to this (for this release, may change):
execmap = perl python java groovy shell autoit3 batch binary [EXECMAP perl] # well, a no-brainer...:-) # match = regexp[\.(t|pl)$] cmd = perl [EXECMAP python] # if python is preferred... # match = regexp[\.py$] cmd = python [EXECMAP java] # quite possible and important for java shops # (couple with some nice junit and other helpers) # match = regexp[\.jar$] cmd = java -jar [EXECMAP groovy] # common variants for groovy scripts, I understand... # match = regexp[\.(groovy|gsh|gvy|gy)$] cmd = groovy [EXECMAP shell] # shell scripting is powerful, so why not # match = regexp[\.sh$] cmd = sh [EXECMAP autoit3] # For using AutoIt scripts (https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/) # match = regexp[\.au3$] cmd = autoit3 [EXECMAP batch] # possible, but perhaps not likely # (Windows only) # match = regexp[\.(bat|cmd)$] cmd = cmd.exe /c [EXECMAP binary] # for directly executable binaries, no actual 'cmd' is needed # On Windows: rename 'xyz.exe' => 'xyz.tbin' # On Unix: rename 'xyz' => 'xyz.tbin' # match = regexp[\.tbin$]
While useful in the early stages for quickly getting started, good form is to ensure the execmap is explicitly defined in the configuration, avoiding surprises if other extensions are added to the default, and also to use the "skip" key to ensure only expected files are selected as tests.
Sections like these are optional. There can be many with different names (the names have no internal meaning beyond helping when reporting problems with dependencies).
Each section describes dependencies between one or more tests on one or more other tests; it will ensure that any dependencies are executed first. This can be utilized for example by having a test that ensures a database is set up in a specific manner before proceeding.
Note that any given test can be selected by multiple dependency sections, in either match/dependson, and this will ultimately create a dependency graph. However, it must result in a "DAG", no cycles are allowed.
A dependency section has two required key/value pairs:
This is required. The value is a Grep::Query expression, and can be multi-line/part for readability.
It must select one or more tests that will be dependent on tests selected by the "dependson" key.
It must select one or more tests that must be run before the tests selected by the "match" key.
[DEPENDENCY All depends on init] match = not eq(init.pl) dependson = eq(init.pl) [DEPENDENCY File handling] match = regexp(^filehandl/) dependson = eq(basic_file_handling_setup.pl) [DEPENDENCY Picture processing] match = regexp(^picproc/) dependson = eq(basic_picture_processing_setup.pl)
The three separate rules will together create a dependency tree between tests. The first is basically simple: all tests are dependent on the 'init.pl' test (except itself, obviously). The effect is that init.pl will run to completion first before any other test may start. This will be true regardless of if parallelization is in effect or not.
Further, the next two rules ensure that the two different 'basic_...' tests run after that. They are independent, so they can run in parallel. As they complete, all tests under 'filehandl/' and 'picproc/' are released for running, and again, all of them are independent and can run in parallel.
Again, beyond obeying the dependencies, exactly which test(s) will run in what order are ultimately dependent on many other factors such as the 'parallelizability' of a given test, how many job slots are available, exactly how the TAP harness implementation handles parallelization and how capable it is etc.
Most test suites will need some kind of outside input when running. There are two main sources:
Examples of this is simply to allow the tests to be flexible. The most obvious example is that they need information on where/how to access the SUT or similar. While it could be hardcoded into the suite in some manner, it may make sense to make this information into something that is passed by the user when starting the suite, thus allowing the user to point to several different SUT's using the same test suite and evaluate the behavior of each.
To accomplish this, the recommended way is to simply pass this information along on the command line, for example:
testontap --jobs 3 some/path/to/fancysuite SUT=xyz VERSION=BETA2 "my sample test run"
The parameters after the suite path is not processed by testontap in any way but will all be passed as command line arguments to each test.
As the tests can interpret the args on the command line in any manner they choose, for more advanced requirements consider using a suitable file format to pass in your humongous and/or complex set of params and just pass the file name.
As the driver controls the tests, it also controls various disk locations which the tests are expected to use for temporary needs as well as some data it wants to persist. By following these pointers, the driver may package the data cleanly and finally clean up after completion.
The driver communicates this type of information using environment variables (prefixed by 'TESTONTAP_'):
TESTONTAP_SUITE_DIR
The path to the root directory of the suite. It may assist tests in navigating the suite.
TESTONTAP_TMP_DIR
This variable holds an existing directory path, and is free for the tests to use for whatever reason. Note that it will be the same for all tests in the suite and empty when the first test runs, but will not be touched until all tests have finished - hence, it can be used to pass information between tests in the suite (however, consider parallelization issues if this is used).
When all tests are concluded, it will be removed; no data in it will be persisted.
TESTONTAP_SAVE_DIR
This variable holds an existing directory path, and is free for the tests to use for whatever reason similar to the above temporary directory. The difference is that files/directories in here will be persisted along with the general results.
When all tests are concluded, data in it will be persisted before it is removed.
The results can be persisted as either a plain directory tree or a zip archive. The naming will consist of the test suite name, the timestamp when the test was run and a 'run id' (an UUID, generated for each test run). If it's an archive file it will be suffixed with '.zip'. See command line options and arguments for details on how to control this using '--archive' and '--savedirectory'.
The saved results are actually a part of the 'work directory', the place where all files are managed until they're saved. This includes, among other things, the temporary directory used for "TESTONTAP_TMP_DIR" and may therefore sometimes be useful in debugging. It is normally a temporary location and automatically cleaned away, but by using the '--workdirectory' option, it will remain after completion so you may examine it.
testontap some/path/to/fancysuite
This will only run the suite, but will not persist any results.
testontap --archive some/path/to/fancysuite
This will persist the test results as the file fancysuite.20161227T103707Z.6a00a78d-cc20-11e6-bceb-fc7c2814a673.zip in the current directory.
testontap --archive --savedirectory /tmp some/path/to/fancysuite
This will persist the test results as the file fancysuite.20161227T103707Z.6a00a78d-cc20-11e6-bceb-fc7c2814a673.zip in the /tmp directory.
testontap --savedirectory /tmp some/path/to/fancysuite
This will persist the test results as the directory fancysuite.20161227T103707Z.6a00a78d-cc20-11e6-bceb-fc7c2814a673 in the /tmp directory.
Note that for the zip file, it will internally contain a root directory with the same name.
Assuming a test suite looking like below, and also assume this suite will generate a suite specific persistable 'ioperf.xml':
fancysuite/ -- config.testontap -- init.pl -- basic_file_handling_setup.pl -- basic_picture_processing_setup.pl -- filehandl/ -- -- fh1.pl -- -- fh2.pl -- picproc/ -- -- pp1.pl -- -- pp2.pl
Running the suite using:
testontap --savedirectory /tmp fancysuite
The test suite result tree in /tmp will look like this:
fancysuite.20161227T103707Z.6a00a78d-cc20-11e6-bceb-fc7c2814a673 -- suite/ -- -- ioperf.xml -- testontap/ -- -- env.json -- -- meta.json -- -- summary.json -- -- testinfo.json -- -- preprocess.txt -- -- postprocess.txt -- -- result/ -- -- -- init.pl.json -- -- -- basic_file_handling_setup.pl.json -- -- -- basic_picture_processing_setup.pl.json -- -- -- filehandl/ -- -- -- -- fh1.pl.json -- -- -- -- fh2.pl.json -- -- -- picproc/ -- -- -- -- pp1.pl.json -- -- -- -- pp2.pl.json -- -- tap/ -- -- -- init.pl.tap -- -- -- basic_file_handling_setup.pl.tap -- -- -- basic_picture_processing_setup.pl.tap -- -- -- filehandl/ -- -- -- -- fh1.pl.tap -- -- -- -- fh2.pl.tap -- -- -- picproc/ -- -- -- -- pp1.pl.tap -- -- -- -- pp2.pl.tap

Review the 'extras' directory in the distribution for some examples, specifically Java code to help generate TAP streams, either directly or together with JUnit.
