Stage: ATS - STIF, TEF, RTEST, MTF and EUnit (also Qt)
=======================================================

ATS testing is the automatic testing of the phone code once it has been compiled and linked to create a ROM image.

Explanation of the process for getting ATS (`STIF`_ and `EUnit`_) tests compiled and executed by Helium, through the use of the :hlm-t:`ats-test` target.

Prerequisites
----------------

* `Harmonized Test Interface (HTI)`_ needs to be compiled and into the image.
* The reader is expected to already have a working ATS setup in which test cases can be executed.  ATS server names, 
  access rights and authentication etc. is supposed to be already taken care of.

Test source components
-------------------------

Test source usually lives in a component's ``tsrc`` directory.  Test source components are created like any other Symbian SW component; 
there is a ``group`` directory with a ``bld.inf`` file for building, ``.mmp`` files for defining the targets, and so on.

The test generation code expects ``.pkg`` file in the ``group`` directory of test component to be compiled, to get the paths of the files 
(can be data, configuration, initialization, etc files) to be installed and where to install on the phone. 


Three STEPS to setup ATS with Helium
--------------------------------------

**Step 1: Configure System Definition Files**
 If the tsrc directory structure meets the criteria defined in the `new API test automation guidelines`_, then test components 
 should be included in the System Definition files.

**System Definition Files supporting layers.sysdef.xml**
 **layers** in ``layers.sysdef.xml`` file and **configuration** in ``build.sysdef.xml`` file (`Structure of System Definition files version 1.4`_).
 
 <#if !(ant?keys?seq_contains("sf"))>
.. _`new API test automation guidelines`: http://s60wiki.nokia.com/S60Wiki/Test_Asset_Guidelines
.. _`Structure of System Definition files version 1.4`: http://delivery.nmp.nokia.com/trac/helium/wiki/SystemDefinitionFiles
</#if>

A template of layer in layers.sysdef.xml for system definition files

.. code-block:: xml

    <layer name="name_test_layer">
        <module name="module_name_one">
            <unit unitID="unit_id1" name="unit_name1" bldFile="path_of_tsrc_folder_to_be_built" mrp="" />
        </module>
        
        <module name="module_name_two">
            <unit unitID="unit_id2" name="unit_name2" bldFile="path_of_tsrc_folder_to_be_built" mrp="" />
        </module>
    </layer> 

* Layer name should end with **_test_layer**
* Two standard names for ATS test layers are being used; ``unit_test_layer`` and ``api_test_layer``. Test components (the``unit`` tags) 
  should be specified under these layers and grouped by ``module`` tag(s).
* In the above, two modules means two drop files will be created; ``module`` may have one or more ``unit``
* By using property ``exclude.test.layers``, complete layers can be excluded and the components inside that layer will not be included in the AtsDrop. This property is a comma (,) separated list

**System Definition Files version 3.0 (SysDefs3)** (new Helium v.10.79)
 The `structure of System Definition files version 3.0`_ is different than previous versions of system definition files. In SysDefs3, package definition files are used for components specification. Instead of layers naming conventions, filters are used to identify test components and test types, for example: "test, unit_test, !api_test" etc.

<#if !(ant?keys?seq_contains("sf"))>
.. _`structure of System Definition files version 3.0`: http://wikis.in.nokia.com/view/SWManageabilityTeamWiki/PkgdefUse
<#else>
.. _`structure of System Definition files version 3.0`: sysdef3.rst
</#if>

An example template for defining test components in a package definition file.

.. code-block:: xml

      <package id="dummytest" name="dummytest" levels="demo">
        <collection id="test_nested" name="test_nested" level="demo">
        
          <component id="tc1" name="tc1" purpose="development" filter="test, unit_test">
              <unit bldFile="test_nested/tc1/group" mrp="" />
          </component>
          
          <component id="tc2" name="tc2" purpose="development" filter="test">
            <meta rel="testbuild">
              <group name="drop_tc2_and_tc3" /> 
            </meta>
            <unit bldFile="test_nested/tc2/group" mrp="" />
          </component>
          
          <component id="tc3" name="tc3" purpose="development" filter="test">
            <meta rel="testbuild">
              <group name="drop_tc2_and_tc3" /> 
            </meta>
            <unit bldFile="test_nested/tc3/group" mrp="" />
          </component>
          
        </collection>
      </package>

* Filter "test" must be specified for every test component. If it is not specified, the component will not be considered as a test component.
* <meta>/<group> are now used to group test components, it work in the same way as <module>...<module> in sysdef v1.4 works. The components having same group name are grouped together. 
  Separate drop files are created for different groups. In the above example, if only 'test' is selected, then two drop files will be created, one with tc1 and the other one with tc2 and tc3. 


**Step 2: Configure ATS properties in build.xml**

**(A)** Username and Password for the ATS should be set in the `.netrc file`_::

    machine ats login ats_user_name password ats_password

Add the above line in the ``.netrc`` file and replace ``ats_user_name`` with your real ATS username and ``ats_password`` with ATS password.
    
**(B)** The following properties are ATS dependent with their edit status

* [must] - must be set by user
* [recommended] - should be set by user but not mandatory
* [allowed] - should **not** be set by user however, it is possible.

    ":hlm-p:`ats.obey.pkgfiles.rule`", "[allowed]", "If the property is set to ``true``, then the only test components which will have PKG files, will be included into the ``test.xml`` as a test-set. Which means, even if there's a test component (executable) but there's no PKG file, it should not be considered as a test component and hence not included into the test.xml as a separate test. By default the property value is ``false``."
    "``reference.ats.flash.images``", "[allowed]", "Fileset for list of flash images (can be .fpsx, .C00, .V01 etc) It is recommended to set the fileset, default filset is given below which can be overwritten. set *dir=""* attribute of the filset to ``${r'$'}{build.output.dir}/variant_images`` if hlm-t:`variant-image-creation` target is being used."

    ":hlm-p:`ats.multiset.enabled`", "[allowed]", "Should be ``true`` so a set is used for each pkg file in a component, this allows tests to run in parallel on several devices."
    ":hlm-p:`ats.diamonds.signal`", "[allowed]", "Should be ``true`` so at end of the build diamonds is checked for test results and Helium fails if tests failed."
    ":hlm-p:`ats.delta.enabled`", "[allowed]", "Should be ``true`` so only ADOs changed during :hlm-t:`do-prep-work-area` are tested by ATS."

An example of setting up properties:

.. code-block:: xml

    <property name="ats.server" value="4fio00105"  />
    <property name="ats.drop.location" location="\\trwsimXX\ATS_TEST_SHARE\" />
    <property name="ats.email.list" value="temp.user@company.com; another.email@company.com" />
    <property name="ats.flashfiles.minlimit" value="2" />
    <property name="ats.product.name" value="PRODUCT" />
    <property name="ats.plan.name" value="plan" />
    <property name="ats.product.hwid" value="" />
    <property name="ats.script.type" value="runx" />
    <property name="ats.target.platform" value="armv5 urel" />
    <property name="ats.test.timeout" value="60" />
    <property name="ats.testrun.name" value="${r'$'}{build.id}_${r'$'}{ats.product.name}_${r'$'}{major.version}.${r'$'}{minor.version}" />
    <property name="ats.trace.enabled" value="false" />
    <property name="ats.ctc.enabled" value="false" />
    <property name="ats.obey.pkgfiles.rule" value="false" />
    <property name="ats.report.location" value="${r'$'}{publish.dir}/${r'$'}{publish.subdir}" />
    <property name="eunit.test.package" value="" />
    <property name="eunitexerunner.flags" value="/E S60AppEnv /R Off" />
    <property name="ats.test.filterset" value="sysdef.filters.tests" />

    <hlm:sysdefFilterSet id="sysdef.filters.tests">
        <filter filter="test, " type="has" />
        <config file="bldvariant.hrh" includes="" />
    </hlm:sysdefFilterSet>
    
        
        ...
        <import file="${r'$'}{helium.dir}/helium.ant.xml" />
        ...
    
    <fileset id="reference.ats.flash.images" dir="${r'$'}{release.images.dir}">
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.core.fpsx"/>
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.rofs2.fpsx"/>
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.rofs3.fpsx"/>
    </fileset>
    

.. Note::
   
   Always declare *Properties* before and *filesets* after importing helium.ant.xml.

**STEP 3: Call target ats-test**

To execute the target, a property should be set(``<property name="ats.enabled" value="true" />``).

Then call :hlm-t:`ats-test`, which will create the ATSDrop.zip (test package).

If property *ats.email.list* is set, an email (test report) will be sent when the tests are ready on ATS.

CTC:
----

CTC code coverage measurements reports can be created as part of Test Automation process.

1. Build the src using ``build_ctc`` configuration, which is in ``build.sysdef.xml`` file, to create ``MON.sym`` files. It means that a property ``sysdef.configurations.list`` should be modified either add or replace current build configuration with ``build_ctc``

2. Set the property, ``ats.ctc.host``, as described above, for sending the ``MON.sym`` files to the network drive. *(Please contact ATS server administrator and ask for the value to set this property)*

3. Enable CTC process by setting up property ``ats.ctc.enabled`` to "true"

4. Test drops are sent to the ATS server, where, after executing tests ``ctcdata.txt`` files are created. ``ctcdata.txt`` and ``MON.sym`` files are then further processed to create code coverage reports.

5. View or download the Code coverage reports by following the link provided in the ATS report email (sent after the tests are executed on ATS)

*NOTE: After receiving the email notification, it may take a few minutes before the code coverage reports are available.*


Qt Tests:
---------

QtTest.lib is supported and the default harness is set to EUnit. If ``QtTest.lib`` is there in ``.mmp`` file, Helium sets the Harness to Eunit and ATS supported Qt steps are added to test.xml file

In ``layers.sysdef.xml`` file, the layer name should end with "_test_layer" e.g. "qt_unit_test_layer".

There are several ``.PKG`` files created after executing ``qmake``, but only one is selected based on which target platform is set. Please read the property (``ats.target.platform``) description above.

.. _`Skip-Sending-AtsDrop-label`:

Skip Sending AtsDrop to ATS
----------------------------

By setting property of ``ats.upload.enabled`` to ``false``, ``ats-test`` target only creates a drop file, and does not send the drop (or package) to ATS server.

Customizing the test.xml in ATS
--------------------------------

The user can customize the generated test.xml with files:

* **preset_custom.xml** goes before first set
* **postset_custom.xml** goes after last set
* **precase_custom.xml** goes before first case 
* **postcase_custom.xml** goes after last case
* **prestep_custom.xml** goes before first step
* **poststep_custom.xml** goes after last step
* **prerun_custom.xml** goes before first run or execute step
* **postrun_custom.xml** goes after last run or execute step
* **prepostaction.xml** goes before first postaction
* **postpostaction.xml** goes after last postaction

The files must be in the directory 'custom' under the 'tsrc' or 'group' folder to be processed. 

The files need to be proper XML snippets that fit to their place. In case of an error an error is logged and a comment inserted to the generated XML file.

A postaction section customization file (prepostaction.xml or postpostaction.xml) could look like this

.. code-block:: xml

  <postAction>
    <type>Pre PostAction from custom file</type> 
    <params>
       <param name="foo2" value="bar2" /> 
    </params>
  </postAction>
  


The ``prestep_custom.xml`` can be used to flash and unstall something custom.

.. code-block:: xml

  <step name="Install measurement tools" harness="STIF" significant="false">
    <!-- Copy SIS-packages to DUT -->
    <command>install</command>
    <params>
        <param src="Nokia_Energy_Profiler_1_1.sisx"/>
        <param dst="c:\data\Nokia_Energy_Profiler_1_1.sisx"/>
    </params>
    ...
  </step>


And then the  ``prerun_custom.xml`` can be used to start measuring.

.. code-block:: xml

  <step name="Start measurement" harness="STIF" significant="false">
      <!-- Start measurement -->
      <command>execute</command>
      <params>
          <param file="neplauncher.exe"/>
          <param parameters="start c:\data\nep.csv"/>
          <param timeout="30"/>
      </params>
  </step>



**Note:** The users is expected to check the generated test.xml manually, as there is no validation. Invalid XML input files will be disregarded and a comment will be inserted to the generated XML file.

Overriding Test xml values
--------------------------

Set the property ``ats.config.file`` to the location of the config file.

Example configuration:

.. code-block:: xml

    <ATSConfigData>  
        <config name="common" abstract="true">
         
            <!-- Properties to add/ modify -->
            <config type="properties">
               <set name="HARNESS" value="STIF" />
               <set name="2" value="3" />
            </config>
            
            <!-- Settings to add/ modify -->
            <config type="settings">
               <set name="HARNESS" value="STIF" />
               <set name="2" value="3" />
            </config>
            
            <!-- Attributes to modify -->
            <config type="attributes">
               <set name="xyz" value="2" />
               <set name="significant" value="true" />
            </config>
        </config>
    </ATSConfigData>

Prerequisites
--------------

* `Harmonized Test Interface (HTI)`_ needs to be compiled and into the image.
* The reader is expected to already have a working ATS setup in which test cases can be executed.  ATS server names, access rights and authentication etc. is supposed to be already taken care of.
* `SW Test Asset`_ location and type of test should be known.

</#if>

Test source components
--------------------------

Unlike STIF, EUnit etc tests, test source components (or ``tsrc`` structure) is not needed for `ASTE`_ tests.

Two STEPS to setup ASTE with Helium
------------------------------------

**STEP 1: Configure ASTE properties in build.xml**

**(A)** Username and Password for the ATS should be set in the `.netrc file`_

.. code-block:: text

    machine ats login ats_user_name password ats_password

Add the above line in the .netrc file and replace *ats_user_name* with your real ats username and "ats_password" with ats password.
    
.. _`.netrc file`: configuring.html?highlight=netrc#passwords


**(B)** The following properties are ASTE dependent with their edit status

* [must] - must be set by user
* [recommended] - should be set by user but not mandatory
* [allowed] - should **not** be set by user however, it is possible.

An example of setting up properties:
    
.. code-block:: xml
    
    <property name="ats.server" value="4fio00105"  />
    <property name="ats.drop.location" value="\\trwsimXX\ATS_TEST_SHARE\" />
    <property name="ats.aste.email.list" value="temp.user@company.com; another.email@company.com" />
    <property name="ats.flashfiles.minlimit" value="2" />
    <property name="ats.product.name" value="PRODUCT" />
    <property name="ats.aste.plan.name" value="plan" />
    <property name="ats.product.hwid" value="" />
    <property name="ats.test.timeout" value="60" />
    <property name="ats.aste.testrun.name" value="${r'$'}{build.id}_${r'$'}{ats.product.name}_${r'$'}{major.version}.${r'$'}{minor.version}" />
    <property name="ats.aste.testasset.location" value="" />
    <property name="ats.aste.software.release" value="SPP 51.32" />
    <property name="ats.aste.test.type" value="smoke" />
    <property name="ats.aste.testasset.caseids" value="100,101,102,104,106," />
    <property name="ats.aste.software.version" value="W810" />
    <property name="ats.aste.language" value="English" />
         
    ...
    <import file="${r'$'}{helium.dir}/helium.ant.xml" />
    ...
    
    <fileset id="reference.ats.flash.images" dir="${r'$'}{release.images.dir}">
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.core.fpsx"/>
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.rofs2.fpsx"/>
        <include name="**/${r'$'}{build.id}*.rofs3.fpsx"/>
    </fileset>
    

*PLEASE NOTE:* Always declare *Properties* before and *filesets* after importing helium.ant.xml.

**STEP 2: Call target ats-aste**

To execute the target, a property should be set(``<property name="enabled.aste" value="true" />``).

Then call :hlm-t:`ats-aste`, which will create the ATSDrop.zip (test package).

If property ``ats.aste.email.list`` is set, an email (test report) will be sent when the tests are ready on ATS/ASTE.

Stage: ATS - Custom Drop
========================

If you need to send a static drop to ATS then you can call the target :hlm-t:`ats-custom-drop` and set a property to your own template.

A example template is in helium/tools/testing/ats/templates/ats4_naviengine_template.xml

.. code-block:: xml

    <property name="ats.custom.template" value="path/to/mytemplate.xml" />
