*** Kytos End-2-End-Tests***

Overview

WARNING: As previously announced on our communication channels, the Kytos project will enter the "shutdown" phase on May 31, 2021. After this date, only critical patches (security and core bug fixes) will be accepted, and the project will be in "critical-only" mode for another six months (until November 30, 2021). For more information visit the FAQ at <https://kytos.io/faq>. We'll have eternal gratitude to the entire community of developers and users that made the project so far.

The purpose of this repository is to eventually house all the End-to-End code necessary to test the entirety of the Kytos SDN Controller. As of today, the E2E code available analyzes the mef_eline, topology, and maintenance Napps, as well as it ensures the proper start of Kytos without errors. All tests are based on simple Mininet topologies (which are provided in the helpers.py file), and they are executed within a docker container that holds the code for installing all the basic requirements needed to set up an environment capable of executing the tests.

Getting Started

Once you have cloned this project, you need to go into the project repository and run the following command:

$ docker-compose up

This will create and start services as outlined in your docker-compose.yml file, which in this case are to kickstart the installation of the docker images for Kytos and Mininet.

After all installations finish, the docker-compose file will call the kytos-init.sh script which takes care of finishing installing Kytos and all of the required network applications in a quick and efficient way. This script is also responsible for executing all the tests within the projects repository via the commands:

$ python -m pytest --timeout=60 tests/

Which runs all available tests, or run only a specific test:

$ python -m pytest --timeout=60 \
      tests/test_e2e_10_mef_eline.py::TestE2EMefEline::test_on_primary_path_fail_should_migrate_to_backup

The above lines are entirely up to the user to modify, and will allow them to choose in which way they want to use the tests.
