RPMs have been uploaded to packagecloud

Run the simp-core install_from_rpm test and versify that it passes.   This will pull the packages from packagecloud.io and do an install.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in simp-core run

  • SIMP_BEAKER_OS=oel beaker:suites[install_from_rpm]

  • beaker:suites[install_from_rpm]

  • beaker:suites[install_from_rpm,el6_server]

  • SIMP_BEAKER_OS=oel beaker:suites[install_from_rpm,el6_server]

and then do it all again with BEAKER_fips=yes

Puppet Forge Testing

After modules have been tag with an annotated tag

run the simp-core test install_from_core_module test to test the modules pushed to Puppet Forge

 

 

 

 

 

 

N/A

in simp-core run

  • beaker:suites[install_from_core_module]

  • SIMP_BEAKER_OS=oel beaker:suites[install_from_core_module]

  • beaker:suites[install_from_core_module,el6_server]

Tests - Regression/Integration Testing

The tests in this section are regression tests to ensure unmodified capabilities still function.  These tests should use the packer boxes created in the New/Changed Feature tests, were applicable.

Note that most of these test should eventually be automated by simp-packer, simp-integration_test, or simp-core tests so check there and remove them from these list as they are automated elsewhere.
