Sanity Test

Sanity Test is a part of the releasing cycle. The purpose is to ensure that the Qt SDK is ready for further testing.

{color:blue}RTA work ongoing:
Part of the Sanity test cases are covered by Release test automation (RTA). See more information on the {color:blue}RTA (covered by RTA) and {color:red}RTA (not yet covered by RTA) sections below.

Build checks

Asks about license

{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that license key is asked while running the configure (valid license key, invalid license key). When the installer is run the installing with a license key is verified by RTA.

Compiles with minimal options (eg. -opensource -confirm-license)
Run configure command with the following options
```
 configure -developer-build -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license 
```
{color:blue}RTA Linux, Mac, Windows: covered by RTA

Compiles as static build (where supported)
Run configure command with '-static':
```
 configure -static … 
```
{color:blue}RTA Linux, Mac, Windows: covered by RTA

Compiles in namespace (where supported)
Run configure command with '-qtnamespace <namespace>':
```
 configure -qtnamespace CustomName … 
```
{color:blue}RTA Linux, Mac, Windows: covered by RTA

Compiles with shadow build
Create a new folder. cd to the new folder. Run the configure command from the source directory.
{color:blue}RTA Linux, Mac, Windows: covered by RTA

Compiles cross-compiled
Use -xplatform parameter, e.g.

<br />configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ …<br />

General checks

Text files have the correct EOL
Open a few text files (README, .cpp, .h, .pro, etc.) and check if they look OK.
Files/dirs have sane perm. and timestamps
Tags have been replaced properly
The list of tags: qmake -query (???)
README has valid information
Complete information on how to build Qt from sources should be given.

Installer checks

Right version of Qt Installer Framework is used
Launch the installer with '—version' . For Qt 5.4 -beta it should show 'IFW Version: "1.5.82", Installer base SHA1: "f67db7e",
{color:blue}RTA: Linux, Mac covered by RTA.
{color:red}RTA: Windows: Manual testing required.

Fresh install works correctly
Install Qt SDK on a newly installed OS.

{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that clean installation works ok. Clean means that the installation directory does not contain any other Qt version.
{color:red}RTA: Whole OS is not installed as a fresh installation during the RTA. Study how to do this added into CI's ta

Fresh install to place requiring elevated rights works correctly
Install Qt SDK as a normal user to a place requiring elevated rights. The installer should allow this by asking for elevated rights / the sudo password.

Upgrade install works correctly
Install higher version of Qt having older one, e.g. install Qt 5.3.2 on Qt 5.2.0.

Parallel install works correctly
Install two Qt installation in parallel, e.g. Qt 4.8.6 and 5.3.2. Check that both packages work
Warns when installing over an installation
Run the installer the second time. A warning pop-up windows should be displayed.

Is correctly signed (vendor/certificate, not untrusted)
Check where applicable.

Displays appropriate gfx & strings & version no.
This check is about general look and correct package version number.

Offers the correct license(s)

{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that installation works with the valid license key.
{color:red}RTA: Visual verification of the installer and installing with the invalid license keys needs to be done manually.

Offers sane default install directory (w/version number)
Check of the default folder is similar to ../Qt5.3.2/
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies the default directory.
Correctly installs to default directory
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies installing into the default directory.
Correctly installs to non-default loc.
Change the target folder during installation from ../Qt5.3.2/ to a different name.
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies installing into the non-default directory.
Sanely reports progress and completion
Click on the Details button to see the progress. Wait for successful completion of the installation process.

Installs only selected components
Try to use Deselect All button, and select a few additional components. Component selector should works sanely. After installation is done, only selected components should be in the target folder.
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that only selected components are installed.
Shortcuts from last page of installer works
Select/deselect two check boxes (to run Qt Creator and see notes) on the final screen.
Correctly creates Desktop shortcuts
Correctly creates Start Menu shortcuts
Check if Qt Creator can be found by the OS (start menu, launcher, dash home, etc.). Check the icon.
Sets correct environment variables for shell
Package shows up in Control Panel/Pkg. Manager
Patching of files is done correctly

Cancel button is available
Use cancel button. Check if there are no changes done by the installer when the installation is interrupted.
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that the installation can be cancelled. Note: RTA does not support cancelling the installing after the 'install' button is pressed i.e. while the installing of the components is ongoing.
Cleans up after install failure

Cleanly fails on insufficient disk space

Uninstaller checks

Uninstalls properly
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that uninstalling is done properly.
Removes installed files properly
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that all installed files are removed.
Removes empty directories
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that the installation directory is removed.
Removes registry keys
Reverses any other changes

Both source/binary package checks

License is correct
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that proper license files are found from $QTDIR\Licenses directory.
Assistant works correctly
Run Assistant (e.g. ./5.0.2/gcc_64/bin/assistant). Check the basic functionality, browse through, search for documentation.
{color:blue}RTA: RTA verifies that Assistant can be opened & closed, browsing and searching works.
Designer works correctly
Qt Creator works correctly
Qt Creator can be tested using the following test cases: "Qt Creator Tests:":http://wiki.qt.io/Category:Tools::QtCreator::QualityAssurance
Demos and examples launch without crashing
{color:blue}Each example should be run with no error.
{color:blue}RTA: RTA launches and closes each Qt example (except console examples).
Demos and examples function acceptably

RTA: Sanity level testing; see the QtModule sections below.

Demos and examples can be rebuilt
{color:blue}RTA: RTA compiles the examples and demos from /Src and /bin directories.

Qt Creator Checks

Right Qt Creator version is installed
Check Qt Creator version in About dialog.

{color:blue}RTA: Linux, Mac: Qt Creator version is verified from the About dialog.
{color:red}RTA: Windows: not yet part of RTA (some testing tool issues; work ongoing to solve this). Manual testing required.

"Qt Creator Tests:":http://wiki.qt.io/Category:Tools::QtCreator::QualityAssurance

{color:blue}RTA: Linux, Mac: Qt Creator is opened and closed in RTA tests.
{color:red}RTA: Windows: Qt Creator open & close not yet covered by RTA (some testing tool issues; work ongoing to solve this). In general, other test cases except open&close are not yet part of RTA. Manual testing required.

CMake Checks

Ensure that the binary package was installed with the ‘source components’ checked.

On Linux, install cmake from a repository (at least CMake version 2.8.3) and copy a script like this to your Qt installation and run it:

#!/bin/bash

QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX=$PWD/gcc_64

for d in `find . -name &quot;cmake.pro&amp;quot;`; do<br /> b=`dirname $d`

m=`dirname $b`<br /> m=`dirname $m`<br /> m=`dirname $m`<br /> m=`basename $m`<br /> if [ x$m != x&amp;quot;qtactiveqt&amp;quot; ]; then<br /> pushd $b &gt; /dev/null<br /> rm -rf build<br /> $QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX/bin/qmake<br /> make check<br /> popd &gt; /dev/null<br /> fi<br />done

On Windows with msvc use a bat script instead (download cmake from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html ):

set QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX=&amp;#37;cd:&amp;#37;/msvc2010<br />set scriptbase=&amp;#37;cd&amp;amp;#37;<br />FOR &amp;#37;&amp;#37;? IN (qtactiveqt qtbase qtdeclarative qtmultimedia qtquick1 qtscript qtsensors qtserialport qtsvg qttools qtxmlpatterns) DO (<br /> cd Srcamp;#37;&amp;#37;?rd /S /Q build<br /> &amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake<br /> nmake check<br /> cd &amp;#37;scriptbase&amp;amp;#37;<br />)<br />cd Src\qtwebkit\Source\WebKit\qt\tests\cmake<br />rd /S /Q build<br />&amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake<br />nmake check<br />cd &amp;#37;scriptbase&amp;amp;#37;

If testing with MinGW on Windows, use a script like this;

set QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX=&amp;#37;cd:&amp;#37;/mingw48_32<br />set scriptbase=&amp;#37;cd&amp;amp;#37;<br />FOR &amp;#37;&amp;#37;? IN (qtactiveqt qtbase qtdeclarative qtmultimedia qtquick1 qtscript qtsensors qtserialport qtsvg qttools qtxmlpatterns) DO (<br /> cd Srcamp;#37;&amp;#37;?rd /S /Q build<br /> &amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake<br /> mingw32-make check<br /> cd &amp;#37;scriptbase&amp;amp;#37;<br />)<br />cd Src\qtwebkit\Source\WebKit\qt\tests\cmake<br />rd /S /Q build<br />&amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake<br />mingw32-make check

On all platforms, the result should be output showing the cmake tests running and passing. Please report failures to the releasing mailing list.
