Prerequisites for Test Case Execution

6.1 Prerequisites for Test Case Execution

Activation Manually (As done in release 9.0.1 and before Excluding DSA)

This section provides information about the prerequisites that must be met in the following sequence before running the test cases:

Ensure no hyphen is present in the stack name of NOAM and SOAM while deploying the VDSR stack through VNFM.
Location of the Test Cases
- The Cust-Roaming-Suite directory path is /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Regression/Cust-Roaming-Suite.
- The Cust-Core-DSR directory path is /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Regression/Cust-Core-DSR.
- The New-Features are located in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/New-Features
- The Performance test cases are located in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Performance/Radius_Traffic
- All Cleanup pipeline test cases are located in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Cleanup/Cust-Cleanup-DSR
- All DSA stateless and stateful pipeline test cases are located in the file /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/DSA. The only option for all DSA stateless and stateful pipeline is to run the full suite.
- All vSTP test cases are divided into four different suites:
  /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/vSTP_Regression/behave_test_framework/vSTP-Suite1/
  
  /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/vSTP_Regression/behave_test_framework/Cust-vSTP-Suite2/
  
  /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/vSTP_Regression/behave_test_framework/Cust-vSTP-Suite3/
  
  /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/vSTP_Regression/behave_test_framework/Cust-vSTP-Suite4/

Update SUT Information in ATS

Following are the mandatory steps for Cleanup, New-Features, Performance, Regression, VDSR-HealthCheck suites:

Update /home/cloud-user/Verizon-drop1/dsr-atsV2/dut.yaml with the SUT details. The same will be automatically copied to the required location when the execution starts from Jenkins.

Update the dut.yaml file by referring to the following file:

Update /home/cloud-user/Verizon-drop1/dsr-atsV2/auth.yaml. The same will be automatically copied to the required location when the execution starts from Jenkins. Server credentials, such as username and password, displayed in the following image can be updated if required.
Verify the following command to check if the jenkins is running:
```
ps -eaf | grep jenkins
```
Output:

If not, then run the following command:
```
./jenkins_start.sh
```
The rerun functionality in the Roaming suite can be changed by updating the following values in dut.yaml file:
- RERUN_COUNT: 1
- SDS_ENABLE: N

Following are mandatory tasks for vSTP-Regression suite:

Update /home/cloud-user/Verizon-drop1/vSTP-ats/vstp_signalling_ips.yaml with the SUT details for vSTP test cases. The same will be automatically copied to the required location when the execution starts from Jenkins. Edit the vstp_signalling_ips.yaml file. Update the vstp_signalling_ips.yaml file by referring to the following file:

VSTP_SIGNALLING_IP:
# MP XSI IP on which traffic is to be run
  - name: XSI1
    IP: 121.131.152.209

Update /home/cloud-user/Verizon-drop1/vSTP-ats/passwords/auth.yaml. The same will be automatically copied to the required location when the execution starts from Jenkins. Server credentials, such as username and password, displayed in the following image can be updated if required.
Verify using the command:
```
ps -eaf | grep jenkins
```
Output:

Figure 6-2 Output
If not, then run the command:
```
./jenkins_start.sh
```
Disable firewall from an active SOAM of vSTP from the path shown in below figure.
To access the MPs from the ATS machine, you need to run the VSTP suite run, the following command for all MPs. <stp ip> to be replaced by XMI IP of one MP at a time:
```
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh admusr@<stp ip> "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
```

Enabling the Feature on SUT

Following is a list of the Suites in ATS 9.0.2 onwards and their respective mandatory DSR features that are required to be activated:

Table 6-3 list of the suites in ATS 9.0.2

Suit Name	DSR’s Features Required to be activated
Regression	Custom Roaming RBAR, Mediation Custom- Core FABR, Mediation, RBAR
New -Features	RSA, RBAR
DSA	DCA
Performance	FABR

Activation through automation

Before starting the execution of any test suites, it's essential to activate RBAR, FABR, and Mediation. The activation process for these features should be carried out through the Regression Suite. You can either choose the All option as shown below or, you can choose to run each Feature (RBAR, FABR, and Mediation) individually.

Figure 6-3 Choosing a suite

Figure 6-4 Activation of Applications

Location of all the activation related feature files:

RBAR, FABR and Mediation
- The feature Activation file is in the following directory path /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Regression/Cust-Roaming-Suite/Activation.feature
RSA
- The RSA activation file is the following directory path:
```
 /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/New-Features/Activate_RSA.feature
```
DSA
- File: The DSA activation file is the following directory path: /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/DSA/Activate_DSA.feature

Activating the features

RBAR FABR Mediation:

Log in to ATS Jenkins GUI https://<ATS IP>:8443
To activate ATS Jenkins GUI, click Regression, as shown in the following image:

Figure 6-5 Regression
Click Build with Parameters to build the parameters required for the activation.

Figure 6-6 Build with Parameters
You can either select the All option as shown below or, you can select to run each feature (RBAR, FABR, and Mediation) individually.
Click Build to Activate Applications.

RSA:
1. Log in to ATS’s Jenkins GUI https://<ATS IP>:8443.
2. Select New-Features, and then click Build with Parameters .
Select Activate RSA Application, and click Build.

To configure DSA:
1. Log in to ATS Jenkins GUI https://<ATS IP>:8443.
2. Select DSA, as shown in the following image, and then click Build with Parameters

Figure 6-14 Activate DSA
Following is the result shown in the image:

Figure 6-15 Result
To deactivate, select Deactivate DSA Application, and then click Build.

Figure 6-16 Deactivate DSA application

Things to remember:

Deactivate DSA before Activating RSA, and vice versa.
Activation and Deactivation option for respective suites are available in DSA and New-Features suites, respectively.
For FABR, RBAR, and Mediation, there is no Deactivate option, since they serve as prerequisites for multiple suites.

Note:

Ensure that there are no backup files in the /var/TKLC/db/filemgmt/backup location while executing the database restore test case on SOAM. If there are backup files, then the Mediation feature must be enabled in each backup file. Otherwise, sometimes the Mediation feature might get disabled while execution of this test case.

Ensure that RBAR and FABR are enabled as displayed in the following image:

Figure 6-17 RBAR and FABR Enabled on the DSR GUI

Ensure that Mediation is enabled as displayed in the following image:

Figure 6-18 Mediation Enabled on the DSR GUI
Ensure that DCA is enabled as displayed in the following image:

Figure 6-19 DCA Enabled on the DSR GUI
Configure ComAgent connections on DSR by referring to the Diameter Signaling Router Cloud Installation Guide.

Note:
The DSR BUG 29035530 can cause ATS GUI case failure due to the "Security Violation" error when you perform any common GUI operation. This can be identified in /var/TKLC/appw/logs/Process/AppWorksGui.log by searching for the Security violation by a user keyword.
