Tests
Important
Integration is in charge of several types of tests:
Use Cases: developed by use case teams, usually complex, demonstrating high value capabilities of ONAP. They may be partially automated and even integrated in CD.
CSIT Tests: functional tests created by the projects, partially hosted in CSIT repository
Automatic Test Cases: these use cases are usually more simple and aim to validate that ONAP is working properly. These tests have been developed to validate ONAP as a software solution. In theory all the main functions shall be covered by such tests in order to have more robust CI/CD and then avoid regressions. These tests are usually developed and maintained by the integration team.
We may also indicate that when the development of the test framework python-onapsdk follows standard development quality rules and imposes the creation of unit/functional/integration tests. As an example python-onapsdk requires a unit test coverage of 98% before merging a new feature, which is far above the project criteria in SonarCloud today.
Use Cases
The use cases of the last release are described in Verified Use cases.
CSIT Tests
The CSIT tests are functional tests executed by the projects on mocked environment to validate their components. Historically it was hosted in a CSIT repository.
Integration team invited the projects to bring back such tests back to home repository for 2 main reasons:
integration cannot be a bottleneck: +2/merge from integration needed for each project
most of the tests are abandoned and not maintained when hosted in a third party repository leading to CI/CD resource waste and misleading test reporting
Automated Tests
These tests are run daily/weekly on each new gate (new patchset in OOM, CLAMP or SO). They can be in any language (bash, go, python,…), leveraging any test framework (robotframework, MTS, python-onapsdk). They are all embedded in xtesting dockers.
Hint
Automatic tests are currently divided in 4 different categories:
infrastructure-healthcheck: tests from OOM checking the ONAP namespace, certificates…
healthcheck: basic tests on components
smoke tests: end to end tests
security tests
A dashboard summarizing the status and providing the links to the test result page or the logs is automatically created at the end of the execution of the tests.

Test dashboard (Guilin version)
All the pages and artifacts are pushed to LF backend:
Daily chains: https://logs.onap.org/onap-integration/daily
Weekly chains: https://logs.onap.org/onap-integration/weekly
Gating chains: the result link is indicated in gerrit
A video has been recorded to help launching some of the automated tests on ONAP Guilin. See Running ONAP tests in Guilin Video
Infrastructure Healthcheck Tests

See Infrastructure Healthcheck README to adapt then run infrastructure healthcheck tests on your own system.
Please note that the onap-k8s is run 2 times in CD chains. It is run just after the installation (onap-k8s) and at the end of the test execution (onap-k8s-teardown) in order to collect the logs of the different components during the test execution.

There are 2 main families of smoke tests:
RobotFramework based tests, usually run from inside the cluster as a k8s job
Pythonsdk based tests. These tests (also known as onaptests) are consuming several SDKs: the Openstack and Kubernetes SDK for the management of the cloud resources and the python ONAP SDK for the interactions with ONAP
To launch the the robot based tests, please see Robot smoke test README Standard Robot html pages are generated. See Robot page.
To launch the pythonsdk based tests, please see Python smoke test README
An html page is generated by the pythonsdk-test tests.

Stability tests
Ensuring the stability of ONAP is one of the missions of the Integration team. CI chains and stability tests are performed to help stabilising the release. See Integration stability tests for details.
