Test Flow

General test flow for testing and evaluation on virtualization technologies by the framework

• 1. Software tester writes a test case in Testopia

  2. Software tester builds a test management script in Jenkins by Expect

  3. Software tester builds a test task in Jenkins and associate with one test case in Testopia

  4. Software tester builds environment setting script (by Expect), scenario deployment script (by JMeter) and test script (by Expect and libvirt)

  5. Framework launches test task in Jenkins

  6. Framework retrieves associated test case and script information through Testopia plug-in

  7. Framework launches test management script to control the testing and evaluation life cycle

  8. Framework performs deployment and configuration of test environment by environment setting script

  9. Framework performs deployment and configuration of usage scenario by JMeter

  10. Framework performs specific test actions by test script through libvirt

  11. Framework generates test result in TAP (Test Anything Protocol)

  12. Framework updates test result to associated test case through Testopia plug-in based on TAP
