<b><font face="Times New Roman,Times">NSS 3.2.QA Wrapper</font></b></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>The QA wrapper tests the nightly builds of NSS. The actual
|
|
tests are being run are called from the QA script all.sh. I will add documentation
|
|
for the actual QA soon. The main purpose of the wrapper is: find out which
|
|
build (NSS version, date, Build Platform) to test on which machine (OS,
|
|
OS version) and construct a summary report, which is then mailed to the
|
|
nss developers (aka mailing list nss-qa-report@netscape.com). Please see
|
|
also the <a href="#advertisement">feature</a> section.

<p>The QA wrapper consistst mainly of scripts, most located in security/nss/tests

and subdirectories, but run from /u/sonmi/bin
|
|
<p>nssqa and qa_stat, the main scripts both include a common header (<a href="../header">header</a>)

<p>The scripts that are used on a daily basis are located in /u/sonmi/bin

|
|
<p><b><font size=+1>How to use the QA-wrapper</font></b>
|
|
<br>To test a build, first run nssqa on the required QA platforms (some
|
|
buildplatforms require QA to be run on additional platforms - for example
|
|
Solaris 2.6 has to be tested on 2.8 32 and 64bit) If QA has been run on
|
|
multiple or all required platforms it makes sense to run qa_stat on the
|
|
output of nssqa as well.
|
|
<br>Before used on a new system (even if the same platform has been tested
|
|
before) please use completely interactive, to see what the variables are
|
|
being initialized to, and read the warnings. Same is true if being run
|
|
from a different user account than svbld.
|
|
<p>In any case, if you are using it, please let me know the results.

|
|
<br>
|
|
<p>Use qaclean as user "svbld" to get the propper permissions. It is supposed
|
|
to clean up after a "hanging" QA and will also brutally kill, interupt
|
|
and disturb any other nss related test or performance meassurement on the
|
|
named machine. NT and 2000 might require an additional reboot, since the
|
|
ps is not so good about telling us the actual programmname - so we can't
|
|
kill them... Please note that this is a brute force script, it should not
|
|
be used on a regular basis, file a bug whenever you have to use it, since
|
|
hanging QA is nothing that should occur frequently

<ol>

<li>

see if there is a lockfile (/tmp/nssqa.$$ or $TMP/nssqa.$$)</li>

<p>qa_stat is the script that is being started from the svbld cron on kentuckyderby
|
|
every morning at 10:00 and runs some (very primitive) analysis on the qa
|
|
results.
|
|
<br>I'd like to rewrite the whole thing in perl, and in a few weeks I might
|
|
just do this...

<p><a NAME="advertisement"></a><b><u><font size=+1>Why we need the QA wrapper</font></u></b>
|
|
<p>We need the new QA wrapper, because we have to test on so many platforms,
|
|
that running the tests and evaluating the results for the nightly builds
|
|
took about an average workday.
|
|
<p><b><font size=+1>New Features:</font></b>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
runs from <b>cron</b> / rsh or <b>interactive</b> if desired</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
generates <b>summary</b> (no need to look through 60-90 directories)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
sends <b>email</b> about results</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
automatically <b>recognizes common errors</b> and problems and conflicts
|
|
and corrects them</li>
|
|
|
|
<br>(or attempts to correct them :-)
|
|
<li>
|
|
automatically determines <b>which build </b>to test (waits if build in
|
|
progress, exits if no build)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
runs on <b>all required platforms</b> (Windows 98 and before not functional
|
|
yet)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Windows version runs on <b>free Cygnus</b> as well as on MKS</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
debug mode, normal mode and silent mode</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>locking</b> mechanism so it won't run twice</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>cleanup</b> after being killed and most errors (no remaining selfservers,
|
|
tmpfiles, lock files)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The 1st script is started via cron between 5:00 and 8:00 am on different
|
|
systems, and starts QA on the nightly build. At 10:00 the next script is
|
|
started, and sends a QA summary to the nss developers.
|
|
<p><b>Cygnus Advantages</b>:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>free</b></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
better handling of <b>processes</b> (background, processIDs, Signals)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Unix / Linux <b>compatible</b> sh / bash</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<b>Disadvantages</b>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
MKS functionality needs to be preserved (makes <b>8 Windows platforms</b>
|
|
instead of 4 for the QA suites - makes 32 testruns on Windows alone)</li>
|
|
|
|
<br>In certain functionality's <b>slow</b>
|
|
<br><b></b> </ul>
|
|
<b>Porting the windows QA to Uwin as well is also being considered</b>
