--- 1) Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the years as the Asterisk code base has expanded, the need for more tools
to control the quality of the code has increased. Luckily some of these tools
have been implemented and the return on that investment has paid dividends
immediately.
There are four parts to code testing:
1) Testing with our eyes
2) Bottom-Up testing using unit tests within Asterisk
3) Top-Down testing using an external test suite
4) Tests running constantly using a continuous integration framework
With the introduction of Gerrit (https://gerrit.asterisk.org) code is
now peer reviewed to a greater extent prior to being merged and the number of
pre-commit bugs being found is tremendous. Gerrit satisfies the first
part: Testing with our eyes.
But where peer reviewing fails is in the ability to verify that regressions are
not being introduced into the code. Whenever you solve a complex issue, the
chances that a regression is introduced somewhere else is elevated. A way of
minimizing those regressions is through automated testing.
Automated testing improves the quality of code at any part of the development
cycle and reduces the number of regressions being introduced. Whenever a part
of the system is being worked on and bugs are being resolved, developers are
encouraged to write tests in order to verify that the same issue does not creep
back into the code, and that changes in other locations do not disrupt the
expected results in that area.
The next two directions satisfy the bottom-up testing and top-down testing
methods:
Automated testing for Asterisk is approached from two directions. The first is
bottom-up unit testing. Those tests are implemented within Asterisk in the C
programming language, using the Asterisk C APIs. These tests are enabled by
turning on the TEST_FRAMEWORK compile time option in menuselect. The CLI
commands related to the test framework all begin with "test".
The second approach is top down using tests developed outside of Asterisk.
This test suite is the collection of top-down functionality tests. The test
suite is made up as a collection of scripts that test some portion of Asterisk
functionality given a set of preconditions, and then provide a pass/fail result
via a predefined method of doing so.
The fourth part ties parts two and three together by making sure that whenever
something is introduced that breaks one of the tests, that it gets resolved
immediately and not at some point in the future through bug reporting. This is
done with Bamboo. You can see the history and current status of the tests
being run by visiting http://bamboo.asterisk.org.
This document will focus on how you can setup the Asterisk Test Suite in order
to run the same automated external tests on your own development system. You
are also encouraged to write your own automated tests to verify parts of your
own system remain in working order, and to contribute those tests back to the
Asterisk project so they may be run in the automated testing framework.

--- 2) Test Suite System Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Required:
- python >= 2.6.5
- python-yaml
- git-core
You can execute the contrib/scripts/install_prereq script to install
the needed libraries and python modules for the testsuite.
Note: Many commands below will install files into system directories;
if you are executing these commands as an unprivileged user, you might
need to use 'sudo' or similar.
Optional (needed by specific tests):
- bash
- SIPp
- Download the latest unstable release
- http://sipp.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
- Compile the version with pcap and OpenSSL support using:
$ make pcapplay_ossl
- Install sipp into a directory in the execution path:
$ cp sipp /usr/local/bin
- asttest
- include with the test suite
- Install from the asttest directory
$ cd asttest
$ make
$ make install
- Python modules
- starpy
- Install starpy from the addons directory
$ cd addons
$ make update
$ make install
- python-twisted
- python-lxml
- pjsua
- Download and build pjproject 1.x from source
- http://www.pjsip.org/download.htm
- On an x86-32 machine, run the configure script as follows:
$ ./configure
- On an x86-64 machine, run the configure script as follows:
$ ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIC
- There are tests in the testsuite that require IPv6
support in pjsua, so create a pjlib/include/pj/config_site.h
file and add the line
#define PJ_HAS_IPV6 1
- Build
$ make dep && make
- On an x86-32 machine, copy the
'pjsua-x86-unknown-linux-gnu' executable found in the
pjsip-apps/bin/ directory to a directory located in the
execution path, and name it 'pjsua'.
$ cp pjsip-apps/bin/pjsua-x86-unknown-linux-gnu /usr/local/bin/pjsua
- On an x86-64 machine, copy the
'pjsua-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' executable found in the
pjsip-apps/bin/ directory to a directory located in the
execution path, and name it 'pjsua'.
$ cp pjsip-apps/bin/pjsua-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu /usr/local/bin/pjsua
- pjsua python bindings
- Go to pjsip-apps/src/python directory
- Run 'sudo python ./setup.py install' or just 'sudo make install'
- libpcap and yappcap
- Install the libpcap development library package for your system
(libpcap-dev for Debian-based distros, pcap-devel for Red Hat)
- Install cython
- Download yappcap from:
https://github.com/otherwiseguy/yappcap/tarball/master
- tar -xvzf otherwiseguy-yappcap*.tar.gz
- cd otherwiseguy-yappcap*
- make && sudo make install
- Note that if you install these packages, you'll need to
execute tests in the testsuite using an account with
privileges to do raw packet captures ('root', of course,
but other accounts may work on your system).

--- 3) Running the Test Suite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the Asterisk source tree you want to test:
$ git clone https://gerrit.asterisk.org/asterisk
$ cd asterisk
Build and install it.
$ ./configure && make
$ make install
Check out the test suite:
$ git clone http://gerrit.asterisk.org/testsuite
$ cd testsuite
List the tests:
$ ./runtests.py -l
******************************************
*** Listing the tests will also tell ***
*** you which dependencies are missing ***
******************************************
Run the tests:
$ ./runtests.py
Run multiple iterations:
$ ./runtests.py --number 5
Run a specific test:
$ ./runtests.py -t tests/pbx/dialplan
For more syntax information:
$ ./runtests.py --help
As an alternative to the above, you can use run-local:
Get the Asterisk source tree you want to test:
$ git clone https://gerrit.asterisk.org/asterisk
$ cd asterisk
Optionally configure and make it:
$ ./configure && make
Check out the test suite:
$ git clone http://gerrit.asterisk.org/testsuite
$ cd testsuite
Setup the test environment:
$ ./run-local setup
Run tests:
$ ./run-local run # Add here any of runtests.py's parameters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 4) External control of the Test Suite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Test Suite can be controlled externally using the SIGUSR1 and SIGTERM
signals.
- SIGUSR1 will instruct the Test Suite to stop running any further tests
after the current running test completes. Any tests not executed will be
marked as skipped.
- SIGTERM will attempt to immediately stop execution of the current test,
marking it as failed. The Test Suite will stop running any further tests,
marking any test not executed as skipped.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 5) Test Anatomy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) File layout
Adding a test to the test suite is very easy to do. Every test lives
within its own directory within the tests directory. Within that directory,
there must be an executable called "run-test". The test directory may contain
anything else that the test needs to do its job. A test configuration file may
also exist that includes parameters that will be read by the top level test
script.
/tests
/mynewtest
-> run-test
-> test-config.yaml
...
/configs
-> asterisk.options.conf.inc
-> logger.conf
-> logger.general.conf.inc
...
To have a test included in the test suite, it must be added to the
"tests.yaml" file that lives in the tests directory. This configuration file
determines the order that the tests are considered for execution by the top
level test suite application.
The purpose of the 'configs' directory is to define global settings for
Asterisk. Tests will inherit these settings every time the testsuite creates
sandbox instances of Asterisk. Additionally, tests have the ability to override
these setting, however it is NOT recommended they do so. If you wanted to add a
setting to logger.conf [logfiles], you could create a 'logger.logfiles.conf.inc'
file for your test and the global Asterisk logger.conf will automatically
include it. The filename convention is ..conf.inc.
Again, settings in 'asterisk.options.conf.inc' would be included in
asterisk.conf [options] category. Config files may contain replaceable
parameters that map to the entries in the [directories] section of the
asterisk.conf file. Use the "<>" syntax to have the token
replaced with the actual value of that entry. For instance:
priv_key_file = <>/privkey1.pem
might become
priv_key_file = /tmp/asterisk-testsuite/ad41368488ddbac785d54e5689db3b8e/run_5/ast1/etc/asterisk/privkey1.pem
b) Preconditions
When the "run-test" application is executed, it can assume that the
system has a fresh install of Asterisk with files installed into their default
locations. This includes a fresh set of sample configuration files in the
/etc/asterisk directory.
For increased portability the shebang (#!) for "run-test" MUST begin
with "#!/usr/bin/env". For exmaple: a test written in Python would have
"#!/usr/bin/env python" for the shebang.
c) Test configuration files
All configuration files will now be stored in the 'configs/ast%d'
directory, depending on how many Asterisk instances your test uses, you create
additional 'ast%d' sub folders. If you only use 1 Asterisk instance, all files
will be copied to 'configs/ast1'.
For example, we can see the 'basic-call' test below will use 2 Asterisk
instances. However, assume both instances have the same extensions.conf file,
instead duplicating data by copying it into 'ast1' and 'ast2', shared
configuration files SHOULD be copied into the root 'configs' directory.
basic-call/
configs/
ast1/
sip.conf
...
ast2/
sip.conf
...
extensions.conf
run-test
Since each Asterisk instance required difference SIP settings, each 'ast%d'
folder will have a different sip.conf file.
You can also copy arbitrary files like sound, key and certificate files into
any of the entries in the asterisk.conf "directories" category using its
entry name name. All intermediate directories will be created if they
don't already exist.
For example, to have a certificate and keys copied to an Asterisk instance's
'/var/lib/asterisk/keys' directory, you'd place it in...
basic-call/
files/
common/
astvarlibdir/
keys/
ca.crt
ast1/
astvarlibdir/
keys/
instance1-key.pem
...
ast2/
astvarlibdir/
keys/
instance2-key.pem
Since 'astvarlibdir' is defined in asterisk.conf as '/var/lib/asterisk',
this would copy 'ca.crt' to both instance's '/var/lib/asterisk/keys/' directory,
'instance1-key.pem' to instance 1's '/var/lib/asterisk/keys/' directory and
'instance2-key.pem' to instance 2's '/var/lib/asterisk/keys/' directory.
If you have files that can be shared among multiple tests, you can create a
directory following the same structure as above in some parent directory and
direct each test to include it with the 'base-files-path' parameter in
its test-config.yaml file. See sample-yaml/test-config.yaml.sample for
more info.
d) Test Execution
The "run-test" executable will be run by a top level application in the
test suite called "runtests.py". When "run-test" is executed, it will be
provided a standard set of arguments which are defined here:
-v # Will always be provided
e) Logging, Pass/Fail Reporting
All test output, including failure details, should be send to STDOUT.
If the test has failed, the "run-test" executable should exit with a non-zero
return code. A return code of zero is considered a success.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 6) Test Configuration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test configuration lives in a file called "test-config.yaml". The
format for the configuration file is YAML. More information on YAML can be
found at http://www.yaml.org/.
#
# Example test configuration file - test-config.yaml
#
# All elements are required unless explicitly noted as OPTIONAL. If marked
# GLOBAL, those elements are only processed if they exist in the top level
# test-config.yaml file, which applies global options across the test.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 7) Tests in Python
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some python modules included in lib/python/ which are intended
to help with writing tests in python. Python code in the testsuite should be
formatted according to PEP8: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 8) Tests in Lua
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The asttest framework included in the asttest directory provides a lot
of functionality to make it easy to write Asterisk tests in Lua. Take a look at
the asttest README as well as some of the existing Lua tests for more
information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 9) Custom Tests
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The testsuite supports automatic use of custom tests. This feature is
activated by creating tests/custom/tests.yaml to list your tests and/or folders
of tests. Any files created in tests/custom will be ignored by the Asterisk
testsuite repository. This folder is designed to be used for tests that are
not appropriate for inclusion in the common testsuite. This can include tests
specific for your business, clients or Asterisk based product.
