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. 

configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ …

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.

  • External apps build (Qt Creator and other applications)

Create your own application, compile it and run.

  • "DLL Swapping" work on an application
  • GUI stress-testing works ok

Try to perform many keystrokes, mouse clicks, etc.

  • Audio/Video w/QtMultimedia works
  • Raster engine works

Run ./qtbase/examples/gui/rasterwindow example.

  • Image formats work
  • GraphicsView works
  • OpenGL works

Run ./qtbase/examples/gui/openglwindow example. This is also checked by most of the other examples.

  • Printing works
  • QML 1 apps work (qmlviewer)

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtQML1 examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QML 2 apps work (qmlscene)

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtQML2 examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QtNetwork works

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtNetwork examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QtSql works

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtSql examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QtSvg works

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtSvg examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QtXml works

{color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtXML examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

  • QtWebEngine works
  • QtWebKit 1 works
  • QtWebkit 2 works
  • Qt Script 2 works

Run ./qtscript/examples/script/qstetrix example. Use Debug option. context2d can be also run. {color:blue}RTA: RTA runs few QtScript examples and verifies that some detailed level Qt functionality can be used. Example ./qtscript/examples/script/qstetrix is included into the testing. They are launched via the command prompt i.e. not from the Qt Creator.

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.

{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&amp;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 "cmake.pro"`; do
 b=`dirname $d`

m=`dirname $b`
 m=`dirname $m`
 m=`dirname $m`
 m=`basename $m`
 if [ x$m != x"qtactiveqt" ]; then
 pushd $b > /dev/null
 rm -rf build
 $QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX/bin/qmake
 make check
 popd > /dev/null
 fi
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
set scriptbase=&amp;#37;cd&amp;amp;#37;
FOR &amp;#37;&amp;#37;? IN (qtactiveqt qtbase qtdeclarative qtmultimedia qtquick1 qtscript qtsensors qtserialport qtsvg qttools qtxmlpatterns) DO (
 cd Srcamp;#37;&amp;#37;?rd /S /Q build
 &amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake
 nmake check
 cd &amp;#37;scriptbase&amp;amp;#37;
)
cd Src\qtwebkit\Source\WebKit\qt\tests\cmake
rd /S /Q build
&amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake
nmake check
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
set scriptbase=&amp;#37;cd&amp;amp;#37;
FOR &amp;#37;&amp;#37;? IN (qtactiveqt qtbase qtdeclarative qtmultimedia qtquick1 qtscript qtsensors qtserialport qtsvg qttools qtxmlpatterns) DO (
 cd Srcamp;#37;&amp;#37;?rd /S /Q build
 &amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake
 mingw32-make check
 cd &amp;#37;scriptbase&amp;amp;#37;
)
cd Src\qtwebkit\Source\WebKit\qt\tests\cmake
rd /S /Q build
&amp;#37;QT_INSTALLATION_PREFIX&amp;amp;#37;/bin/qmake
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.
