TestON Scripting General Guidelines:

Due to the many components required for system tests, it is possible that one tester's environment can be drastically different from another's.  In ONLAB, we have a production test environment to run the current published test suites. In time, we expect the community to contribute to improving the test suites, or creating new test suites that will also be run on this env. We set up a set of test development guidelines to achieve the following objectives:

1. Portability: 

• testers should be able to clone the tests; set up system environment variables accordingly; and run the tests without test script modifications;

• contributors should be able to commit changes and new test suites to be run on ONLAB production testbed without test script modifications.

2. Stability:

• robustness - i.e. minimize script-causing test failures.

3. Clarity:

• tests should produce useful onos failure information for further debug;

• reports should provide a glance of onos health from each suite;

• Standardize driver & tests documentation.

Note: Due to the high fluidity of current onos features and APIs, OnosSystemTest version will track with onos version.
