About Megatest

\end_layout

\begin_layout Section




Megatest design philosophy
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Megatest is intended to provide the minimum needed resources to make writing
 a suite of tests for software, design engineering or process control (via
 owlfs for example) without being specialized for any specific problem space.
 Megatest in of itself does not know what constitutes a PASS or FAIL of
 a test.
 In most cases megatest is best used in conjunction with logpro or a similar
 tool to parse, analyze and decide on the test outcome.
 A call to megatest can then be made to record the result.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Megatest architecture
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All data to specify the tests and configure the system is stored in plain
 text files.
 All system state is stored in an sqlite3 database.

Introduction

\begin_layout Subsection
Megatest design philosophy
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Megatest is intended to provide the minimum needed resources to make writing
 a suite of tests for software, design engineering or process control (via
 owlfs for example) without being specialized for any specific problem space.
 Megatest in of itself does not know what constitutes a PASS or FAIL of
 a test.
 In most cases megatest is best used in conjunction with logpro or a similar
 tool to parse, analyze and decide on the test outcome.
 A call to megatest can then be made to record the result.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Megatest architecture
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All data to specify the tests and configure the system is stored in plain
 text files.
 All system state is stored in an sqlite3 database.

Simple Test with Multiple Steps 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To run multiple steps simply add them to the main.csh file.
 Here we add a step to test “cpu2”.








 The second step that tests cpu2 will only run after the step that tested








 “cpu1” completes.

Simple Test with Multiple Steps, Some in Parallel

\begin_layout Subsection
The Makefile
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A good way to run steps in parallel within a single test, especially when
 there are following steps, is to use the Unix Make utility.
 Writing Makefiles is beyond the scope of this document but here is a minimal
 example that will run 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

runsim cpu1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

runsim cpu2
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in parallel.
 For more information on make try 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

info make
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 at the Linux command prompt.

Tests with Inter-test dependencies
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes a test depends on the output from a previous test or it may not
 make sense to run a test is another test does not complete with status




 “PASS”.




 In either of these scenarios you can use the “waiton” keyword in your testconfi







g file to indicate that this test must wait on one or more tests to complete
 before being launched.
 In this example there is no point in running the “system” test if the “cpu”























 and “mem” tests either do not complete or complete but with status “FAIL”.

Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Megatest design philosophy
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Megatest is intended to provide the minimum needed resources to make writing
 a suite of tests for software, design engineering or process control (via
 owlfs for example) without being specialized for any specific problem space.
 Megatest in of itself does not know what constitutes a PASS or FAIL of
 a test.
 In most cases megatest is best used in conjunction with logpro or a similar
 tool to parse, analyze and decide on the test outcome.
 A call to megatest can then be made to record the result.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Megatest architecture
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All data to specify the tests and configure the system is stored in plain
 text files.
 All system state is stored in an sqlite3 database.
 Tests are launched using the launching system available for the distributed
 compute platform in use.
 A template script is provided which can launch jobs on local and remote
 Linux hosts.
 Currently megatest uses the network filesystem to

 to your master sqlite3 database.

Dependencies
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Chicken scheme and a number of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 are required for building megatest.
 See the file utils/installall.sh for an automated way to install the dependencie
s on Linux.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Build and Install
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Run “make test” to create the megatest executable.
 You may wish to copy the executable to a centrally accessible location.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Setup
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Create megatest.config
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Create the file megatest.config using the megatest.config template from the
 tests directory.
 At a minimum you need the following:

Create the main.csh script
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note: Using csh is NOT recommended.
 Use bash, perl, ruby, zsh or anything other than csh.
 We use csh here because it is popular in the EDA industry for which Megatest
 was originally created.

You can now run megatest and the created test directory will contain the
 new files “run_simulation.html” and “run_simulation.log”.
 If you are using the dashboard you can click on the run and then push the
 “View log” button to view the log file in firefox.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Simple Test with Multiple Steps 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To run multiple steps simply add them to the main.csh file.
 Here we add a step to test “cpu2”.
 The second step that tests cpu2 will only run after the step that tested
 “cpu1” completes.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The Makefile
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A good way to run steps in parallel within a single test, especially when
 there are following steps, is to use the Unix Make utility.
 Writing Makefiles is beyond the scope of this document but here is a minimal
 example that will run “runsim cpu1” and “runsim cpu2” in parallel.
 For more information on make try “info make” at the Linux command prompt.

\begin_layout Subsection
Tests with Inter-test dependencies
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes a test depends on the output from a previous test or it may not
 make sense to run a test is another test does not complete with status
 “PASS”.
 In either of these scenarios you can use the “waiton” keyword in your testconfi
g file to indicate that this test must wait on one or more tests to complete
 before being launched.
 In this example there is no point in running the “system” test if the “cpu”
 and “mem” tests either do not complete or complete but with status “FAIL”.
