344<div class="section" id="introduction">
345<h1>Introduction</h1>
346<p>The VirtualBox Validation Kit is our new public tool for doing automated
347testing of VirtualBox. We are continually working on adding new features
348and guest operating systems to our battery of tests.</p>
349<p>We warmly welcome contributions, new ideas for good tests and fixes.</p>

351<div class="section" id="directory-layout">
352<h1>Directory Layout</h1>
353<dl class="docutils">
354<dt>./docs/</dt>
355<dd><p class="first">The documentation for the test suite mostly lives here, the exception being
356readme.txt files that are better off living near what they concern.</p>
357<p class="last">For a definition of terms used here, see the Definitions / Glossary section
358of ./docs/AutomaticTestingRevamp.txt / ./docs/AutomaticTestingRevamp.html.</p>
359</dd>
360<dt>./testdriver/</dt>
361<dd><p class="first">Python module implementing the base test drivers and supporting stuff.
362The base test driver implementation is found in ./testdriver/base.py while
363the VBox centric specialization is in ./testdriver/vbox.py. Various VBox
364API wrappers that makes things easier to use and glosses over a lot of API
365version differences that live in ./testdriver/vboxwrappers.py.</p>
366<p>Test VM collections are often managed thru ./testdriver/vboxtestvms.py, but
367doesn't necessarily have to be, it's up to the individual test driver.</p>
368<p>For logging, reporting result, uploading useful files and such we have a
369reporter singleton sub-package, ./testdriver/reporter.py. It implements
370both local (for local testing) and remote (for testboxes + test manager)
371reporting.</p>
372<p class="last">There is also a VBoxTXS client implementation in txsclient.py and a stacked
373test driver for installing VBox (vboxinstaller.py). Most test drivers will
374use the TXS client indirectly thru vbox.py methods. The installer driver
375is a special trick for the testbox+testmanager setup.</p>
376</dd>
377<dt>./tests/</dt>
378<dd>The python scripts driving the tests. These are organized by what they
379test and are all derived from the base classes in ./testdriver (mostly from
380vbox.py of course). Most tests use one or more VMs from a standard set of
381preconfigured VMs defined by ./testdriver/vboxtestvms.py (mentioned above),
382though the installation tests used prepared ISOs and floppy images.</dd>
383<dt>./vms/</dt>
384<dd>Text documents describing the preconfigured test VMs defined by
385./testdrive/vboxtestvms.py. This will also contain description of how to
386prepare installation ISOs when we get around to it (soon).</dd>
387<dt>./utils/</dt>
388<dd><p class="first">Test utilities and lower level test programs, compiled from C, C++ and
389Assembly mostly. Generally available for both host and guest, i.e. in the
390zip and on the VBoxValidationKit.iso respectively.</p>
391<p>The Test eXecution Service (VBoxTXS) found in ./utils/TestExecServ is one
392of the more important utilities. It implements a remote execution service
393for running programs/tests inside VMs and on other test boxes. See
394./utils/TestExecServ/vboxtxs-readme.txt for more details.</p>
395<p class="last">A simple network bandwidth and latency test program can be found in
396./utils/network/NetPerf.cpp.</p>
397</dd>
398<dt>./bootsectors/</dt>
399<dd><p class="first">Boot sector test environment. This allows creating floppy images in
400assembly that tests specific CPU or device behaviour. Most tests can be
401put on a USB stick, floppy or similar and booted up on real hardware for
402comparison. All floppy images can be used for manual testing by developers
403and most will be used by test drivers (./tests/<em>/td</em>.py) sooner or later.</p>
404<p class="last">The boot sector environment is heavily bound to yasm and it's ability to
405link binary images for single assembly input units. There is a &quot;library&quot;
406of standard initialization code and runtime code, which include switch to
407all (well V8086 mode is still missing, but we'll get that done eventually)
408processor modes and paging modes. The image specific code is split into
409init/driver code and test template, the latter can be instantiated for each
410process execution+paging mode.</p>
411</dd>
412<dt>./common/</dt>
413<dd>Python package containing common python code.</dd>
414<dt>./testboxscript/</dt>
415<dd>The testbox script. This is installed on testboxes used for automatic
416testing with the testmanager.</dd>
417<dt>./testmanager/</dt>
418<dd>The VirtualBox Test Manager (server side code). This is written in Python
419and currently uses postgresql as database backend for no particular reason
420other than that it was already installed on the server the test manager was
421going to run on. It's relatively generic, though there are of course
422things in there that are of more use when testing VirtualBox than other
423things. A more detailed account (though perhaps a little dated) of the
424test manager can be found in ./docs/AutomaticTestingRevamp.txt and
425./docs/AutomaticTestingRevamp.html.</dd>
426<dt>./testanalysis/</dt>
427<dd>A start a local test result analysis, comparing network test output. We'll
428probably be picking this up again later.</dd>
429<dt>./snippets/</dt>
430<dd>Various code snippets that may be turned into real tests at some point.</dd>
