EdgeX testing is focused on ensuring that the functional aspects of EdgeX work correctly. This level of testing includes a number of automated test suites for unit, integration, black-box, API testing and validation. Also, EdgeX has been tested on TAF, which stands for Test Automation Framework. To monitor the stability and efficiency of Edgex, a Jenkins pipeline has been built to automatically trigger daily and weekly jobs. The testing processes are listed below and sorted by order.
PR merge validation
When developers make changes to EdgeX and open PR, they have to go through a different validation process depending on the type of repository.
- Go modules
- Unit test

https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-go EdgeX repository contains the Go implementation of EdgeX Foundry microservices, such as core-data, support-notifications, etc. |
- edgex-compose
- smoke test by TAF
Functional-test
- Purpose: Test each feature of EdgeX by providing the appropriate input and validating the output against the requirements.
- Frequency: Daily scheduled run on edgex-taf-pipeline

Performance-test
- Purpose: Monitor memory usage/ startup time/ CPU usage/ response time/ event exported time of EdgeX
- Frequency: Weekly scheduled run on edgex-taf-pipelines
- Note: When a new version of EdgeX is released, we will run performance tests manually on x86_64 and arm64 machines to update the reports in here.

Smoke-test
- Purpose: Developers will select tests that validate key EdgeX features to run smoke-test.
- Frequency: Only when edgex-compose PR is opened will smoke-test start running.

First, where is smoke-test? Example: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-taf/blob/f7c5ac7bf88c2cca21e5cb485ee655b14a2023d7/TAF/testScenarios/functionalTest/V2-API/core-metadata/deviceprofile/GET-Positive.robot#L15 Second, how to run tests on local? Example: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/edgex-taf-pipelines/blob/5cb7fa71727f8b6c6470626ed0394a449b223b2c/runSmokeTestScripts.groovy#L32-L51 |
