Rx Project Overview:
The RxProject is an effort to take the current DvrExerciser OCAP Xlet and refactor it into a frame work which provides the following:
- A library of functionality which aggregates OCAP API calls into functional building blocks provided by RI Stack & PC Platform.
- A scripting interface which allows automation of testing of these functional building blocks.
- A "Guide" Type OCAP Xlet which is referred to as the RxExerciser which supports functional/application level testing and development through a GUI.
Rx Project Management:
Current Project Status:
Ongoing development of driver library functions. Initial components checked into SVN.
Meeting Agenda & Minutes for Monday, Nov. 14th
1. Steve A/Steve M provide an demonstration of Tune Test functionality via script writing and show working example using RiScriptlet and OcapAppDriver APIs to give group an introduction of framework design -
- Steve M provided a demo which included all functionality of tune test and recording, stub methods for remaining functionality for Phase 0.
2. Discuss question Steve A raised:
I'm at the point where I am thinking about what interface to use for "injecting" scripts into RiScriptlet. Right now, it just runs a script specified in the command line args, but I wanted to have an interface where you could tell RiScriptlet to run a script when RiScriptlet is already running (so you wouldn't have to restart in between each script run).
What interface would users find most convenient? How about from a nightly test and automated test point of view? Telnet?
- We had some discussion around interface. Steve A is lending towards telnet as the initial interface, perhaps socket could be added in future.
3. QA Framework to be used for testing. Scott A said two leading contenders where: TestLink & Fitnese. There is much work to be done in setting up the framework outside the work of the RxProject initial phases. It was suggested that this might be a effort to be addressed in Phase 2.
4. During meeting, ideas and suggestions were raised that go beyond the initial phases of RxProject. It was decided that a Wiki page would be started where these items could be entered and tracked. The following page was added for this purpose: RxProject Follow On Work & Suggestions
Current Project Related Tasks & Assignees
- Steve A - continue with development, implement telnet interface
- Steve M. - continue with OCAP App Driver development
- Steve A - setup of nightly test environment
- Lori A. - after Wednesday, start making progress on RiExerciser
