xDevice User Guide

Overview

As an open-source OS, OpenHarmony supports product development in many chip scenarios. To ensure compatibility of the OpenHarmony ecosystem, OpenHarmony provides the compatibility test service. For related products, API tests are required for verification. However, executing a large number of automated test cases requires a scheduling and execution framework that supports capabilities such as generating visual test reports. Therefore, we designed and developed the xDevice test scheduling and execution framework.

Introduction

The xDevice test scheduling and execution framework is a core component of the test infrastructure of OpenHarmony. It provides related services required for scheduling and executing automated test cases, supports scheduling and execution of a large number of automated test cases, as well as supports the generation of visual test reports. The binary package of xDevice will be compiled together with the XTS suite of OpenHarmony. You can obtain the xDevice tool from the XTS archiving path.

Based on the device type, xDevice mainly tests tasks in the following scenarios:

• Perform XTS tests for mini-system devices (such as the Hi3861 development board).
• Perform XTS tests for small-system devices (such as the Hi3516 development board).
• Perform XTS tests for standard-system devices (such as the RK3568 development board).

Implementation Principles

The xDevice tool includes the following functional modules:

• command: enables command-based interactions between users and the test platform. It parses and processes user commands.
• config: sets test framework configurations and provides different configuration options for the serial port connection and USB connection modes.
• driver: functions as a test case executor, which defines main test steps, such as test case distribution, execution, and result collection.
• report: parses test results and generates test reports.
• scheduler: schedules various test case executors in the test framework.
• environment: configures the test framework environment, enabling device discovery and device management.
• testkit: provides test tools to implement JSON parsing, network file mounting, etc.
• log: records task logs and device logs.

In addition to the preceding functional modules, the framework depends on user-defined configuration files, which are classified into two types:

Test Task Configuration File

The test task configuration file provided by the framework is user_config.xml. You can modify the configuration file based on your environment information.

The environment configuration is as follows:

<environment>

 <!-- Large-system device configuration -->
<device type="usb-hdc">  <!-- type: device connection mode. usb-hdc (default) indicates to control devices using the HDC. Currently, the framework supports only one USB device. -->
    <ip></ip>        <!-- ip: remote device IP address. The local device is used if ip and port are empty, and the remote device is used if ip and port are not empty. -->
    <port></port>    <!-- port: remote device port number. -->
    <sn></sn>        <!-- sn: device SN list. SNs are separated using semicolons (;). All local devices are used when the SN is empty. The device with the specified SN will be used if the SN is not empty. -->
</device>

<!-- Mini-system device configuration -->
<device type="com" label="wifiiot">    <!-- type: device connection mode. com indicates the serial port connection mode. label indicates the device type, for example, wifiot. -->
    <serial>                           <!-- serial: serial port definition. -->

        <type>cmd</type>               <!-- type indicates the serial port type. cmd is the command serial port. -->
        <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate>  <!-- baud_rate, data_bits, stop_bits, timeout: serial port parameters. Generally, the default values are used. -->
        <data_bits>8</data_bits>    
        <stop_bits>1</stop_bits>
        <timeout>20</timeout>
    </serial>

</device>
</environment>

Set the test case directory.

<testcases>
  <!-- If both dir and server are configured, only either of them takes effect. -->
  <!-- Specify the test case directory. If this parameter is empty, the testcase directory in the current project will be used. -->
  <dir></dir> 

  <!-- NFS mounting configuration. Set the value to NfsServer. -->
  <server label="NfsServer">
      <ip></ip>             <!-- Mounting environment IP address. -->

      <password></password> <!-- Login user password. -->
      <remote></remote>     <!-- whether the NFS server and the XDevice executor are deployed on different devices. If yes, set this parameter to true. Otherwise, set it to false. -->
  </server>
</testcases>

Set the resource directory.

<resource>
  <!-- Specify the resource directory. If this parameter is empty, the resource directory in the current project will be used. -->
  <dir></dir>
</resource>

Set the log level.

<!-- The default level is INFO. For more detailed information, change the level to DEBUG. -->
<loglevel>INFO</loglevel>

Test Suite Configuration File

The test support suite executed by the device is specified by the test configuration file.

Each test suite has a test configuration file, which mainly specifies the test support suites (kits) that need to be used. In addition, the setup and teardown operations are supported.

The following is a configuration file example:

{
    // Description of the test support suite.
    "description": "Configuration for aceceshi Tests",
    
    // Specify the device for executing the current test support suite.
    "environment": {
        "type": "device", 
        "label": "wifiiot"
    },

    // Specify the driver executed by the device.
    "driver": {
        "type": "OHJSUnitTest", 
        "test-timeout": "700000",
        "bundle-name": "com.open.harmony.acetestfive",
        "package-name": "com.open.harmony.acetestfive",
        "shell-timeout": "700000"
    },
    // The kit is mainly used to support test execution activities, including the setup operation before the test and the teardown operation after the test.
    "kits": [
       {
            "type": "ShellKit",
            "run-command": [
                "remount",
                "mkdir /data/data/resource",
                "chmod -R 777 /data/data/resource",
                "settings put secure adb_install_need_confirm 0"
            ],
            "teardown-command": [
                "remount",
                "rm -rf /data/data/resource"
            ]
        },
    ]
}

Test Commands

Test commands can be classified into three groups: help, list, and run. Among them, run commands are most commonly used in the instruction sequence.

You can run help commands to obtain help information about the test framework commands.

help:
     use help to get information.  
usage:
     run:  Display a list of supported run command.
     list: Display a list of supported device and task record.  
Examples:
     help run
     help list

NOTE

help run: displays the description of run commands.

help list: displays the description of list commands.

You can run list commands to display device information and related task information.

list:
     This command is used to display device list and task record.  
usage:
      list
      list history
      list <id>  
Introduction:
     list:         display device list
     list history: display history record of a serial of tasks
     list <id>:    display history record about task what contains specific id  
Examples:
     list
     list history
     list 6e****90

NOTE

list: displays device information.

list history: displays historical task information.

list *<id>*: displays historical information about tasks with specified IDs.

Run the run commands to execute test tasks.

run:
     This command is used to execute the selected testcases.
     It includes a series of processes such as use case compilation, execution, and result collection.  
usage: run [-l TESTLIST [TESTLIST ...]|-tf TESTFILE
            [TESTFILE ...]] [-tc TESTCASE] [-c CONFIG] [-sn DEVICE_SN]
            [-rp REPORT_PATH [REPORT_PATH ...]]
            [-respath RESOURCE_PATH [RESOURCE_PATH ...]]
            [-tcpath TESTCASES_PATH [TESTCASES_PATH ...]]
            [-ta TESTARGS [TESTARGS ...]] [-pt]
            [-env TEST_ENVIRONMENT [TEST_ENVIRONMENT ...]]
            [-e EXECTYPE] [-t [TESTTYPE [TESTTYPE ...]]]
            [-td TESTDRIVER] [-tl TESTLEVEL] [-bv BUILD_VARIANT]
            [-cov COVERAGE] [--retry RETRY] [--session SESSION]
            [--dryrun] [--reboot-per-module] [--check-device]
            [--repeat REPEAT]
            action task  
Specify tests to run.
  positional arguments:
   action                Specify action
   task                  Specify task name,such as "ssts", "acts", "hits"

The table below describes how to use run commands.

Test Report

After the test framework executes the run commands, the console outputs the corresponding logs, and the execution report is generated. The report is generated in the path specified by the -rp parameter if set. If the parameter is not set, the report will be generated in the default directory.

Structure of the report directory (the default or the specified one)
    ├── result (test case execution results of the module)
    │     ├── *Module name*.xml
    │     ├──  ... ... 
    │      
    ├── log (running logs of devices and tasks)
    │     ├── *Device 1*.log

Mini-System Device XTS Test Guide (wifiiot)

1. Identify the serial port usage and modify the user_config.xml file in the root directory.

The COM port whose type is cmd corresponds to the AT command serial port on the board. The port is used to send commands to the device. In the example, the ChA(COM20) serial port is used.

The COM port whose type is deploy corresponds to the log output serial port on the board. The port is used to burn the image and print logs. In the example, the ChB(COM18) serial port is used.

If the AT command serial port is the same as the log output serial port, the serial ports can be set to the same port. That is, in the user_config file, the COM port whose type is cmd and the COM port whose type is deploy can be set to the same port, for example, COM18.

The following is an example of the modified user_config.xml file:

   <user_config>
       <environment>
           <device type="com" label="wifiiot">
               <serial>
                   <com>com20</com>
                   <type>cmd</type>
                   <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate>
                   <data_bits>8</data_bits>
                   <stop_bits>1</stop_bits>
                   <timeout>20</timeout>
               </serial>
               <serial>
                   <com>com18</com>
                   <type>deploy</type>
                   <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate>
               </serial>
           </device>
       </environment>
       <testcases>
           <dir></dir>
           <server label="NfsServer">
               <ip></ip>
               <port></port>
               <dir></dir>
               <username></username>
               <password></password>
               <remote></remote>
           </server>
       </testcases>
       <resource>
           <dir></dir>
       </resource>
       <loglevel>DEBUG</loglevel>
   </user_config>

1. Create a testcase directory in the root directory of xDevice to store test suite files. XTS test suites are obtained from the daily builds of the system.

Daily builds: http://ci.openharmony.cn/dailys/dailybuilds

The following is an example of the test suite configuration file in JSON format:

   {
   	"description": "Config for ActsAllTest test cases",
   	"environment": [
   		{
   			"type": "device",
   			"label": "wifiiot"
   		}
   	],
   	"kits": [
   		{
   			"type": "DeployKit",
   			"timeout": "20000",
   			"burn_file": "acts/Hi3861_wifiiot_app_allinone.bin"
   		}
   	],
   	"driver": {
   		"type": "CTestLite"
   	}
   }

1. Execute test cases.

Go to the root directory of xDevice, open the xDevice console, and run the following command:

   python -m xdevice

Run the test suite command.

   run -l ActsAllTest

The command output is as follows.

Small-System Device XTS Test Guide (ipcamera)

1. Identify the serial port usage.

The COM port whose type is cmd corresponds to the AT command serial port on the board. The port is used to send commands to the device. In the example, the ChA(COM20) serial port is used.

IP camera devices have two connection modes. One is to connect through the local serial port, and the other is to connect through the IP address of the local area network.

1. Configure the NFS server.

There are two NFS mounting modes. One is to mount through the remote PC, and the other is to mount through the local area network.

To configure the NFS service on the local area network, perform the following steps:

1. Download and install the NFS server. Download address: https://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm

2. Configure output and edit the output table file.

   Add an NFS sharing path, for example, D:\HS\NFS_Share_File -public –alldirs. Note that the FTP IP address 192.168.1.10 is the IP address of the development board.

   

3. Stop the NFS server and restart the NFS server to make the added sharing path take effect.

4. Find the mapped network port of the IP camera device on the PC, and manually set the IP address to 192.168.1.11 on the PC.

5. Modify the user_config.xml file in the root directory. The following is an example:

   <user_config>
       <environment>
           <device type="com" label="ipcamera">     <!--local connection mode-->
               <serial>
                   <com>com20</com>
                   <type>cmd</type>
                   <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate>
                   <data_bits>8</data_bits>
                   <stop_bits>1</stop_bits>
                   <timeout>1</timeout>
               </serial>
           </device>
           <device type="com" label="ipcamera">     <!--local area network connection mode-->
               <ip>10.176.49.47</ip>
               <port>10003</port>
           </device>
       </environment>
       <testcases>
           <dir></dir>
           <server label="NfsServer">               <!--remote mounting mode-->
               <ip>10.176.48.202</ip>
               <port>1022</port>
               <dir>/data/data/local/</dir>
               <username>root</username>
               <password>xxx</password>
               <remote>true</remote>                
           </server>
           <server label="NfsServer">               <!--local area network mounting mode-->
               <ip>192.168.1.11</ip>
               <port>2049</port>
               <dir>D:\test</dir>
               <remote>false</remote>                
           </server>
       </testcases>
       <resource>
           <dir></dir>
       </resource>
       <loglevel>DEBUG</loglevel>
   </user_config>

1. Create a testcase directory in the root directory of xDevice to store test suite files. XTS test suites are obtained from the daily builds of the system.
