EdgeX testing is focused on ensuring that the functional aspects of EdgeX work correctly. This level of testing includes a number of automated test suites for unit, integration, black-box, API testing and validation. Also, Edgex EdgeX has been tested on TAF, which stands for Test Automation Framework. To monitor the stability and efficiency of EdgexEdgeX, a Jenkins pipeline has been built to automatically trigger daily and weekly jobs automatically. The testing processes are listed below. 

PR merge validation

When developers make changes to Edgex and open a PRPRs on EdgeX, they have to go through a different validation process depending on the type of repository.

  • Go modules
    • Unit test
Info
titleWhere is go module?

https://github.com/edgexfoundry

Type "go-mod" in the search field. All repositories whose titles contain "go-mod" are go-modules.
Once developers open PRs in a go-mod repository, a unit test is triggered to

check if it's fit to use before merging into main branch.

 After merging into the main branch, Service will build images on dockerhub and snap to validate its usage.

  • Go modules
    • Unit test
  • Service
    • Unit test 
    • Image build validation: snap image/ docker image
    • edgex-composesmoke test by TAF

    check if it is available.

    • Service
      • Unit test
      • Image build validation
    Info
    titleWhere is service?

    https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go

    This repository contains the Go implementation of EdgeX Foundry microservices, such as core-data, core-metadata, support-notifications, etc.
    Once developers open PRs in the edgex-go, it will trigger unit test to check if it's fit to use and     build dev images on nexus3.edgexfoundry.org to validate its usage.

    • edgex-compose
      • smoke test by TAF
    Info
    titleWhere is edgex-compose?

    https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-compose

    Smoke-test will be introduced later.
    Once developers open PRs in the edgex-compose, a smoke-test will be triggered to check its availability.


    Functional-test

    • Purpose: Test each feature of Edgex EdgeX by providing the appropriate input and validating the output against the requirements.
    • FrequencyJenkins schedule: Daily scheduled Daily run on edgex-taf-pipeline

    • Purpose: Check data communication among different software modules.

    Performance-test 

    • Purpose: Monitor memory usage/ startup time/ CPU usage/ response time/ event exported time of EdgexEdgeX
    • FrequencyJenkins schedule: Weekly scheduled run on  run on edgex-taf-pipelines
    • Note: When a new version of Edgex EdgeX is released, we will run performance-tests on real hardware and test manually on x86_64 and arm64 machines to update the reports for each release in in here.

    Smoke-test

    • Purpose:  Smoke tests are tests selected by developers. They Developers will select the tests that validate the most important features of EdgeX and run the smoke tests to check if it's good to go.Frequencykey EdgeX features to run smoke-test.
    • Jenkins schedule: Only when edgex-compose PR is opened will smoke-test start running.
  • GitHub - edgexfoundry/edgex-go
    • GitHub - edgexfoundry/edgex-taf

    titleHow to run smoke-test on local?

    First, where is smoke-test?

    Example: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-taf/blob/f7c5ac7bf88c2cca21e5cb485ee655b14a2023d7/TAF/testScenarios/functionalTest/V2-API/core-metadata/deviceprofile/GET-Positive.robot#L15
    In this example, it indicates that only does ProfileGET001 - Query all device profiles have the SmokeTest tag so smoke-test it will run on this testcase only.

    Second, how to run smoke-test on local?

    Example: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-taf-pipelines/blob/5cb7fa71727f8b6c6470626ed0394a449b223b2c/runSmokeTestScripts.groovy#L32-L51
    When running tests locally with docker command, remember to specify --include SmokeTest to point to those testcases with the SmokeTest tag.
