Test Specification

Most of the functionality in wifimngr can be tested via its ubus API. Each API can be broken down into an individual test case to show full coverage is achieved.

Sections

Prerequisites

The only prerequisite for the wifimngr test suites is that libwifi has to be built for the TEST platform, a versionprepared to publish dummy data for getter API, and record setter API to a test logfile at /tmp/test.log.

Test Suites

The wifimngr build pipe has three test suites, a functional-api suite, a unit testi suite and functional test suite.

Functional API Tests

The functional API tests consists of four individual test suites, one per object Ubus under test. The functional API tests use the Ubus-API-validation command-line interface tool to invoke a method, programmatically through libubus, and validates it against the objects json-schema.

Unit Tests

The wifimngr unit tests are written in cmocka, invoking the ubus callbacks directly from the source code, which is compiled into a shared library. This means mocking the arguments of a cli or libubus invoke in a struct blob_attr *. The results of the call will be logged to the logfile at /tmp/test.log.

Functional Tests

Serial ID Test Case Name
1 test_api_events

test_api_events

Description

Tests the event registration and receive process. Wifimngr will read the file /etc/wifi.json in order to register to netlink events, in this case the netlink family easysoc and the group notify.

{
	"events" : [
		{
			"type": "wifi-event",
			"name": "cfg09ac03",
			"ifname": "test5",
			"family": "easysoc",
			"group": [
					"notify"
			]
		}
	]
}
Test Steps

As netlink events are not being published in the docker environment, the test will verify that a listener thread is created, registrates a listener and calls the libwifi API for receiving events.

As in practice the listener thread is intended to listen for events for the entire lifetime of the process, there is no break condition for the listener loop. However, in order to get a more accurate memory management report, the event loop, int wifimngr_recv_event(2) is mocked to allow break on the return code -1.

int wifimngr_recv_event(const char *ifname, void *handle)
{
	int err;

	for (;;) {
		err = wifi_recv_event((char *)ifname, handle);
		if (err < 0)
			return -1;
	}

	return 0;
}
Test Expected Results

The expected results are that wifimngr will have attempted to register a listner with the family easysoc, the group notify under the interface test5, and attempted to receive events under the same interface, read from the test log file under the function tags register_event and recv_event.

[2020-02-05 09:38:40] register_event: { "ifname": "test5", "family": "easysoc", "group": "notify" }
[2020-02-05 09:38:40] recv_event: { "ifname": "test5" }

Writing New Tests

On the addition of new APIs to wifimngr and libwifi, additional tests should be written to maintain the coverage and quality of the code.

Libwifi

On a new addition to the libwifi API, the test platform for libwifi has to be extended. The test platform for libwifi consists of two files, test.c and test.h, found under the subdirectory ./libwifi/modules/ under the easy-soc-libs repository.

The following examples assume the existence of a struct test.

struct test {
	unsigned char sta[6];
}

Getter

Assume the addition of the new API, get_client(2), taking an interface, char * as first argument, and a struct test *, filling the struct with the mac address of the first client in the interface.

The first step is to prepare some dummy data in the header file, in this case a dummy client of the type struct test. Two structs with static mac addresses are to be prepared, one for each test interface, holding static data to represent a mac address. Additionally, add a macro pointing to the address of the structs with the dummy data.

/* 5GHz dummy data */
const struct test test5_test_data = {
	.sta = {"\x66\x55\x44\x33\x22\x11"}
};

/* 5GHz "pointer" to dummy data */
#define test5_test	&test5_test_data

/* 2.4GHz dummy data */
const struct test test2_test_data = {
	.sta = {"\x11\x22\x33\x44\x55\x66"}
};

/* 2.4GHz "pointer" to dummy data */
#define test2_test	&test2_test_data

With the dummy data prepared, the function can be implemented. The test platform has a set of macros prepared to use when filling variables with dummy data, ranging from primitive types, buffers, arrays and structs. For this example the helper macro GET_TEST_BUF_TYPE(4) will be used:

#define TESTDATA(band, attr)	test ## band ## _ ## attr

...

#define GET_TEST_BUF_TYPE(o, iface, attr, type)				\
({									\
	if (ifname_to_band(iface) == 5)					\
		memcpy(o, TESTDATA(5, attr), sizeof(type));		\
	else								\
		memcpy(o, TESTDATA(2, attr), sizeof(type));		\
})

The macro will fill the first argument, o, wth the data pointed to by the concatenated variable test, 5, _ and the attr argument, forming test5_test.

Therefore, implementing our dummy getter, test_get_client(2), becomes simple.

int get_client(char *ifname, struct test *t)
{
	GET_TEST_BUF_TYPE(t, name, test, struct test);

	return 0;
}

Lastly, it should be added to the driver, assuming the driver has been updated with a get_client function pointer:

const struct wifi_driver test_driver = {
	.name = "test",
	.get_client = test_get_client,
	...
};

Setter

In the case of an addition of a new setter to the libwifi API. A log function is prepared in the test driver, logging a char * string to a test log file, /tmp/test.log, log_test(2). The first argument to log_test(2) is the char * representing the format, and the second is a va_list; all the arguments of the format. It is important the the format follows the structure

<FUNCTION_IDENTIFIER>: { <RELEVANT_ARGS> }

Assume the addition of a set_client(2) API call, the function should be implemented in the test driver, calling log_test(2) to be able to verify the struct usage and library linkage. Let's assume that the exposed Ubus API takes an argument in the form of a mac address, that would be provded as an argument, sta.

int test_set_client(char *ifname, struct test *t)
{
	log_test("set_client: { \"ifname\": \"%s\", \"sta\": \"%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x%02x\" }",
			ifname, t->sta[0], t->sta[0], t->sta[0],
			t->sta[0], t->sta[0], t->sta[0]);

	return 0;
}

This will log the entry as:

[2020-02-04 13:06:12] set_client: { "ifname": "test5", "sta": "00:11:22:33:44:55" }

Which can then be read by the corresponding test case and verified.

Writing Tests

When extending the test cases themselves, getters should be tested via the Ubus-API-validation tool for in the functional-api-test suite.

Setters without any external dependencies (i.e. other processes) should be included in the unit tests (./test/api_test_wifi_setters.c), and remaining setters in the functional-test suite (./test/function_test_wifi_event.c).

For the setter tests, a utility function has been prepared to parse the logfile for the latest occurrance of a function identifier tag, poll_test_log(2), utility function have been prepared. The function takes a FILE * as first argument, found in the struct test_env, and the function identifier as second argument, returning the json payload found in the log file, if any.
