I mean, in order to run FVT test suite, Kimchi must be installed on one of the supported distro. Test suite may not be on the same target machine where it is suppose to run but it can also be triggered from different machine against the target machine.

Hi Aline,
Thanks for your inputs !!!
The tests we written so far are functional verification test cases which can be ran against the Kimchi which is installed, up and running and can validate REST API calls with the real data.
What do you mean by a "Kimchi installed, up and running"? Is it not assuming a local instance running from local source code?
Exactly, Mock is an object that simulates the behavior of a real object in controlled ways. Mock objects are used in unit testing.
About the current test cases under folder /tests, If I understood correctly they are suppose to do unit testing, hence majority of them uses mocking. I went through test cases like test_authorization.py, test_exception.py, test_host.py, test_plugin.py, test_server.py etc (by the way I excluded mockmodel and model test files) and I saw the import kimchi.mockmodel, which makes me feel that these cases are designed for mock testing. They are not meant for functional verification even though they are REST API calls.
The MockModel is to allow testing functionalities in which we may depend on system configuration.
For example, how test authorization if you don't know which users and groups exists on the system? Even though you know the username, what about the password? How will you test login?
A similar scenario applies to other tests we use MockModel.
Also MockModel also connects to libvirt to do the virtualization work. The difference is it uses the libvirt Test driver instead of the qemu one.
And as the libvirt Test driver has some limitations we needed to overwrite some functions. It is better to understand looking at the code in mockmodel.py.
Could you give me an example of a FVT test you have in mind? Just to confirm we don't already have some of them upstream.
Fine with me !!!
I agree that we could place functional verification test suite under the /tests folder, but not to mix with existing unit test cases. I do recommend below structure inside /tests.
/tests
|
-----/tests-unit
|
-----/tests-fvt
/ui/tests
|
-----/tests-unit
|
-----/tests -selinium
I'd only suggest to remove the second "tests-" as it seems redundant for me =)
/tests/unit/
/tests/fvt
/ui/tests/unit
/ui/tests/selenium
Hope this make sense !!!
Regards
Chandra

We have developed functional verification regression test suite for Kimchi/Ginger in order to verify the REST API's calls currently available on 1.5.
Our proposal is to create the following folder structure in the main stream of Kimchi/Ginger for FVT. From this week we will be submitting the patches.
tests-fvt

-----tests-restapi

-----tests-ui
Please provide feedback if you have any !!!
We already have unit tests to cover the REST APIs. You can check them under /tests
You can add as many tests as you want there. Usually we are on a way to remove test_model and test_mockmodel and separate the tests per components: templates, networks, guests, etc.
About the directory structure, I don't think we need to change it.
For UI tests, we need to wait a little bit to do that according to the new UI.
Samuel will do unit tests and Selenium tests as soon as the new UI components are getting ready.
About the directory structure, we can create a new directory under /ui, for example, ui/tests to handle all the unit tests and ui/tests/selenium to handle the Selenium tests.
Thanks in advance.
Chandra
