10Glossary
11================================================================================
12
13- $: command line prompt
14- $HOME: home directory of current user.
15- AC: alternating current, implies device is not powered by battery.
16- DUT: device under test
17- Semi-Automated Test: test that runs with automation but requires manual
18  intervention.
19
20================================================================================
21Test Setup
22================================================================================
23
24- Setup a Linux machine to serve as the Autotest server. The Autotest
25  server requires Python, Wireless access to the DUT and basic Linux
26  shell utilities. The setup has been tested on Ubuntu 9.10 available
27  for download at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download/.
28
29
30- Create an installation directory on the Autotest server for the
31  ChromeOS hardware qualification package. The rest of the
32  instructions assume that you're installing the package in the
33  current user home directory ($HOME/).
34
35
36- Contact your Google technical support person and download the Chrome
37  OS hardware qualification package chromeos-hwqual-TAG.tar.bz2 for
38  your device in $HOME/.
39
40
41- Install the package on the server:
42
43  $ cd $HOME/ && tar xjf chromeos-hwqual-TAG.tar.bz2
44
45
46- Install the ChromeOS test image on the DUT. The USB test image is
47  available in:
48
49  $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/chromeos-hwqual-usb.img
50
51  Here are sample steps to install the test image.
52
53  - Plug a USB storage device into the Autotest server. Note that all
54    data on your USB stick will be destroyed.
55
56  - Unmount any mounts on the USB device.
57
58  - Copy the USB image to a USB storage device by executing:
59
60    $ sudo dd if=$HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/chromeos-hwqual-usb.img \
61              of=/dev/sdX
62
63  - where /dev/sdX is your USB device.
64
65  - Plug the USB device into the DUT and boot from it.
66
67  - Log in to ChromeOS.  Start the ChromeOS shell by pressing Ctrl-Alt-T.
68    Install ChromeOS on the DUT:
69
70    crosh> install
71
72
73- Cold boot the DUT -- turn the DUT off and then back on. This ensures
74  a consistent starting point for the qualification tests and allows
75  the system to collect cold boot performance metrics. Make sure you
76  don't boot from USB.
77
78
79- Connect the DUT to the network and note its IP address <DUT_IP>. The
80  IP address is displayed at the bottom of the network selection
81  menu. Unless specified explicitly, the test setup works correctly
82  through either wireless or wired network connections.
83
84
85- Add the DUT root private key to ssh-agent on the Autotest server:
86
87  $ ssh-add $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/testing_rsa
88
89- If ssh-add fails saying that it cannot connect to your authentication agent,
90  retry the command after running:
91
92  $ eval `ssh-agent -s`
93
94- These commands allow the Autotest server to connect and login as root on the
95  DUT.
96
97
98- Make sure you can ssh as root to the DUT from the Autotest
99  server. The command below should print 0.
100
101  $ ssh root@<DUT_IP> true; echo $?
102
103================================================================================
104Automated and Semi-Automated Test Runs
105================================================================================
106
107- Unless otherwise noted, all tests can be performed on an AC-powered DUT.
108
109- Go to the Autotest server directory and clean up previous test results.
110
111  $ cd $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/autotest/
112  $ rm -rf results.*
113
114
115- Run the fully automated client-side tests:
116
117  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.auto -m <DUT_IP> \
118                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.auto
119
120
121- Plug high-speed high-capacity storage devices in all USB and SD Card
122  slots and run the external storage test:
123
124  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.external_devices -m <DUT_IP> \
125                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.external_drives
126
127
128- Run the system suspend/resume stability test:
129
130  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.suspend_resume -m <DUT_IP> \
131                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.suspend_resume
132
133
134- If the DUT has video out ports, run the Video Out semi-automated
135  test by following the instructions specified in the control file
136  (control.video_out) and then executing:
137
138  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.video_out.${PORT} -m <DUT_IP> \
139                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.video_out
140
141- Where PORT is the name of each video port you are testing.  For
142  example, if the DUT has one HDMI and one VGA out port, run:
143
144  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.video_out.hdmi1 -m <DUT_IP> \
145                -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.video_out
146
147  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.video_out.vga1 -m <DUT_IP> \
148                -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.video_out
149
150
151- Run the graphics tearing test:
152
153  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.teartest -m <DUT_IP> \
154                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.teartest
155
156- Run audio test, with built-in speakers and microphone
157
158  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.audio -m <DUT_IP> \
159                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.audio
160
161- Plug-in headphone and microphone, run audio test again
162
163  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.audio_ext -m <DUT_IP> \
164                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.audio
165
166- Run the Keyboard test :
167  (Wait several seconds after running the test. Then strike the "Search" key,
168   e.g. the key above Left Shift and below Tab)
169
170  $ ./server/autoserv -r result.keyboard -m <DUT_IP> \
171                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.keyboard
172
173- Run the DUT on AC. Probe the AC driver:
174
175  $ ./server/autoserv -r result.probe_ac -m <DUT_IP> \
176                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.probe_ac
177
178- Run the DUT on battery. Probe the battery driver:
179  (If you just unplugged AC, please wait for a second before running
180   the test for kernel updating power status.)
181
182  $ ./server/autoserv -r result.probe_bat -m <DUT_IP> \
183                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.probe_bat
184
185- Run the DUT on AC. Plug a power draw USB dongle in each USB port.
186  Run the max power draw test:
187
188  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.max_power_draw.ac -m <DUT_IP> \
189                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.max_power_draw
190
191- Run the DUT on battery. Plug a power draw USB dongle in each USB
192  port. Run the max power draw test:
193
194  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.max_power_draw.batt -m <DUT_IP> \
195                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.max_power_draw
196
197- Run the DUT on AC. Run the power settings test:
198
199  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.power_x86_setting.ac -m <DUT_IP> \
200                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.power_x86_settings
201
202- Run the DUT on battery. Run the power settings test:
203
204  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.power_x86_setting.batt -m <DUT_IP> \
205                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.power_x86_settings
206
207- Make sure the remaining battery charge is less than 5%. Note that the test
208  will check and fail quickly if the initial battery charge is more than 5%.
209  Run the DUT on AC. Run the battery charge test:
210
211  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.battery_charge_time -m <DUT_IP> \
212                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.battery_charge_time
213
214- Make sure that the battery is fully charged. Note that the test will not
215  check if the battery is fully charged before running. Run the DUT on
216  battery. Run the battery load test by first following the manual
217  instructions specified in the control file (control.battery_load)
218  and then executing:
219
220  $ ./server/autoserv -r results.battery_load -m <DUT_IP> \
221                  -c client/site_tests/suite_HWQual/control.battery_load
222
223================================================================================
224Reviewing Automated and Semi-Automated Test Results
225================================================================================
226
227- Autotest logs progress and performance data in results.* directories
228  specified through the '-r' autoserv option. The easy way to see a summary
229  of your test results is to use the 'generate_test_report'
230  script installed under $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/:
231
232  $ ../generate_test_report results.*
233
234  This will display a table with test status and perfomance data for
235  all result directories.
236
237- If deeper investigation into a failure is required, you can review
238  the debug information stored in results:
239
240  $ ls */*/debug/.
241
242================================================================================
243Manual Test Runs
244================================================================================
245
246- Perform the manual tests specified in
247  $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/manual/testcases.csv.
248
249- Please note that some tests cannot be tested as they rely on
250  features not yet implemented.  They are being included as a preview for
251  manual tests that will be required.  Such tests will have
252  "NotImplemented" in their "LABELS" column.
253
254- Update this spreadsheet with a column of pass/fail results with any notes
255  which may be useful.
256
257================================================================================
258Reporting Results
259================================================================================
260
261- Upon completing automatic, semi-automatic, and manual test runs, you should
262  report your results to a Google technical support contact to verify the
263  tests were run correctly and to help diagnose failures.  Verify you have
264  updated your manual test spreadsheet as described above and copy it into
265  your autotest output directory:
266
267  $ cd $HOME/chromeos-hwqual-TAG/autotest/
268  $ cp ../manual/testcases.csv .
269
270- Package all results into a tar file:
271
272  $ tar cjf chromeos-hwqual-results-TAG-DATE.tar.bz2 results.* testcases.csv
273
274- Send the resulting chromeos-hwqual-results file to your technical support
275  contact.
