Welcome to TinyTestFW’s documentation!

We have a lot of test which depends on interact with DUT via communication port. Usually we send command to the port and then check response to see if the test succeed. TinyTestFW is designed for such scenarios. It supports ESP-IDF applications and is able for other applications by writing new bundles.

Test FW features

  1. Test Environment:
    1. DUT: DUT provides methods to interact with DUT
      • read/write through port
      • expect method which supports expect one or multiple string or RegEx
      • tool methods provided by the tool bundle, like start_app, reset
    2. App:
      • provide some specific features to the test application of DUT, for example:
        • SDK path
        • SDK tools
        • application information like partition table, download configs
    3. Environment Configs:
      • support get env configs from config file or auto-detect from current PC
      • provide get_variable method to get variables
  2. allow to customize components (DUT, App) to support different devices
  3. Integrate to CI:
    • provide interfaces for Gitlab-CI
    • provide search case and runner interfaces, able to integrate with other CI

Example

Let’s first check a simple simple:

import re
import os
import sys
test_fw_path = os.getenv("TEST_FW_PATH")
if test_fw_path:
    sys.path.insert(0, test_fw_path)

import TinyFW
from IDF import IDFApp, IDFDUT


@TinyFW.test_method(app=IDFApp.Example, dut=IDFDUT.IDFDUT, env_tag="Example_WIFI",
                    chip="ESP32", module="examples", execution_time=1)
def test_examples_protocol_https_request(env, extra_data):
    """
    steps: |
      1. join AP
      2. connect to www.howsmyssl.com:443
      3. send http request
    """
    dut1 = env.get_dut("https_request", "examples/protocols/https_request")
    dut1.start_app()
    dut1.expect("Connecting to www.howsmyssl.com:443", timeout=30)
    dut1.expect("Performing the SSL/TLS handshake")
    dut1.expect("Certificate verified.", timeout=15)
    dut1.expect_all(re.compile(r"Cipher suite is TLS-ECDHE-RSA-WITH-AES-128-GCM-SHA256"),
                    "Reading HTTP response",
                    timeout=20)
    dut1.expect(re.compile(r"Completed (\d) requests"))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    TinyFW.set_default_config(env_config_file="EnvConfigTemplate.yml")
    test_examples_protocol_https_request()

SOP for adding test cases

1. import test framework:

  • we assume TEST_FW_PATH is pre-defined before running the tests
  • Then we can import python packages and files from TEST_FW_PATH

2. define test case:

  1. define test case test_xxx(env, extra_data)
    • env: instance of test env, see Test Env for details
    • extra_data: extra data passed from test case caller
  2. add decorator for test case
    • add decorator TinyFW.test_method to test method
    • define default case configs and filters in decorator, see TinyFW.test_method

3. execute test cases:

  • define in main section and execute from this file
    1. set preset configs(optional). If the config is not define in case decorator, it will use the preset configs.
    2. call test case method:
      • if you don’t pass any arguments, it will use default values
      • you can pass extra_data to test case by adding extra_data=some_data as kwarg of test case method. default value for extra_data is None.
      • you can overwrite test case config by adding them as kwarg of test case method. It will overwrite preset configs and case default configs.

    Examples:

    test_examples_protocol_https_request(extra_data=["data1", "data2"], dut=SomeOtherDUT, env_tag="OtherEnv")

  • or, use runner to execute. see runner for details

Dependency

Support for both Python2 and Python3 (tested on python 2.7.13 and 3.6.2).

The following 3rd party lib is required:

  • pyserial
  • pyyaml
  • xunitgen
  • netifaces
  • matplotlib (if use Utility.LineChart)

To build document, we need to install Sphinx and sphinx-rtd-theme (you may replace this with your own theme).
