NAME
PITA::Scheme - PITA Testing Schemes
SYNOPSIS
# Have the scheme load up from the provided config
my $scheme = PITA::Scheme->new(
injector => $injector,
workarea => $workarea,
);
# Prepare to run the tests
$scheme->prepare_all;
# Run the tests
$scheme->execute_all;DESCRIPTION
While most of the PITA system exists outside the guest testing images and tries to have as little interaction with them as possible, there is one part that needs to be run from inside it.
PITA::Scheme objects live inside the image and does three main tasks.
1. Unpack the package and prepare the testing environment
2. Run the sequence of commands to execute the tests and capture the results.
3. Package the results as a PITA::XML::Report and send it to the PITA::Host::ResultServer.
This functionality is implemented in a module structure that is highly subclassable. In this way, PITA can support multiple different testing schemes for multiple different languages and installer types.
Setting up a Testing Image
Each image that will be set up will require a bit of customisation, as the entire point of this type of testing is that every environment is different.
However, by keeping most of the functionality in the PITA::Scheme objects, all you should need to do is to arrange for a simple Perl script to be launched, that feeds some initial configuration to the PITA::Scheme object.
And it should do the rest. Or die... but we'll cover that later.
METHODS
Please excuse the lack of details for now...
