Testing

Please, don't hesitate to write tests ;)

Unit tests

Files: /tests/unit/*

The goal of unit tests is to ensure that internal parts of the code work properly. All internal methods should be fully covered by unit tests with a reasonable mocks usage.

About Rally unit tests:

• All unit tests are located inside /tests/unit/*
• Tests are written on top of: testtools, fixtures and mock libs
• Tox is used to run unit tests

To run unit tests locally:

$ pip install tox
$ tox

To run py26, py27 or pep8 only:

$ tox -e <name>

#NOTE: <name> is one of py26, py27 or pep8

To run py26, py27 against mysql or psql

$ export RALLY_UNITTEST_DB_URL="mysql://user:secret@localhost/rally" $ tox -epy27

To get test coverage:

$ tox -e cover

#NOTE: Results will be in /cover/index.html

To generate docs:

$ tox -e docs

#NOTE: Documentation will be in doc/source/_build/html/index.html

Functional tests

Files: /tests/functional/*

The goal of functional tests is to check that everything works well together. Fuctional tests use Rally API only and check responses without touching internal parts.

To run functional tests locally:

$ source openrc
$ rally deployment create --fromenv --name testing
$ tox -e cli

#NOTE: openrc file with OpenStack admin credentials

Output of every Rally execution will be collected under some reports root in directiry structure like: reports_root/ClassName/MethodName_suffix.extension This functionality implemented in tests.functional.utils.Rally.__call__ method. Use 'gen_report_path' method of 'Rally' class to get automaticaly generated file path and name if you need. You can use it to publish html reports, generated during tests. Reports root can be passed throw environment variable 'REPORTS_ROOT'. Default is 'rally-cli-output-files'.
