## Introduction<a name="section465982318513"></a>

The X test suite \(XTS\) subsystem contains a set of OpenHarmony certification test suites, including the currently supported application compatibility test suite \(ACTS\) and the device compatibility test suite \(DCTS\) that will be supported in the future.

This subsystem contains the ACTS and  **tools**  software package.

-   The  **acts**  directory stores the source code and configuration files of ACTS test cases. The ACTS helps device vendors detect the software incompatibility as early as possible and ensures that the software is compatible to OpenHarmony during the entire development process.
-   The  **tools**  software package stores the test case development framework related to  **acts**.

## Devices<a name="section125090457443"></a>

OpenHarmony supports the following device types:

-   **Mini-System Devices \(reference memory ≥ 128 KB\)**

    Such devices are equipped with MCU processors such as ARM Cortex-M and 32-bit RISC-V. They provide rich short-distance connection and peripheral bus access capabilities. Typical products include LinkIoT module devices and sensors in the smart home field. The LinkIoT module is usually used for smart Internet of Things \(IoT\) devices as the hardware module that implements connectivity functions. In the smart home field, the LinkIoT module is integrated into devices by vendors. For example, a LinkIoT module provides WLAN/Bluetooth access and data connection, and it usually communicates with the chip of smart home devices via a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter \(UART\) or general-purpose input/output \(GPIO\) interface.

-   **Small-System Devices \(reference memory ≥ 1 MB\)**

    Such devices are equipped with application processors such as ARM Cortex-A. They provide higher security capabilities, standard graphics framework, and multimedia capabilities for video encoding and decoding. Typical products include IP cameras, electronic cat eyes, and routers in the smart home field, as well as event data recorders \(EDRs\) in the smart travel field.


-   **Standard-System Devices \(reference memory ≥ 128 MB\)**

    Such devices are equipped with application processors such as ARM Cortex-A. They provide a complete application framework supporting enhanced interaction, 3D GPU, hardware composer, diverse components, and rich animations. Typical products include high-end refrigerator displays.

-   **Large-System Devices \(reference memory ≥ 1 GB\)**

    Such devices are equipped with application processors such as ARM Cortex-A and provide a complete compatible application framework. Typical products include smart TVs and smart watches.

### C-based Test Case Development and Compilation \(for Mini-System Devices\)<a name="section1551164914237"></a>

**Developing test cases for mini-system devices**

The HCTest framework is used to support test cases developed with the C language. HCTest is enhanced and adapted based on the open-source test framework Unity.

1.  Access the  **test/xts/acts**  repository where the test cases will be stored.

    ```
    ├── acts
    │ └──subsystem_lite
    │ │ └── module_hal
    │ │ │ └── BUILD.gn
    │ │ │ └── src
    │ └──build_lite
    │ │ └── BUILD.gn
    ```

2.  Write the test case in the  **src**  directory.

    1 Import the test framework header file.

    ```
    #include "hctest.h"
    ```

    2. Use the  **LITE\_TEST\_SUIT**  macro to define names of the subsystem, module, and test suite.

    ```
    /**  
    * @brief  Registers a test suite named IntTestSuite.
    * @param  test Subsystem name
    * @param  example Module name
    * @param  IntTestSuite Test suite name
    */
    LITE_TEST_SUIT(test, example, IntTestSuite);
    ```

    3. Define Setup and TearDown.

    Format: Test suite name+Setup, Test suite name+TearDown.

    The Setup and TearDown functions must exist, but function bodies can be empty.

    4. Use the  **LITE\_TEST\_CASE**  macro to write the test case.

    Three parameters are involved: test suite name, test case name, and test case properties \(including type, granularity, and level\).

    ```
    LITE_TEST_CASE(IntTestSuite, TestCase001, Function | MediumTest | Level1) 
    {  
      // Do something 
    };
    ```

    5. Use the  **RUN\_TEST\_SUITE**  macro to register the test suite.

    ```
    RUN_TEST_SUITE(IntTestSuite);
    ```

3.  Create the configuration file \(**BUILD.gn**\) of the test module.

    Create a  **BUILD.gn**  \(example\) compilation file in each test module directory. Specify the name of the compiled static library and its dependent header file and library in the compilation file. The format is as follows:

    ```
    import("//test/xts/tools/lite/build/suite_lite.gni")
    hctest_suite("ActsDemoTest") {
        suite_name = "acts"
        sources = [
            "src/test_demo.c",
        ]
        include_dirs = [ ]
        cflags = [ "-Wno-error" ]
    }
    ```

4.  Add compilation options to the  **BUILD.gn**  file in the  **acts**  directory.

    You need to add the test module to the  **test/xts/acts/build\_lite/BUILD.gn**  script in the  **acts**  directory.

    ```
    lite_component("acts") {  
        ...
        if(board_name == "liteos_m") {
            features += [    
                ...
                "//xts/acts/subsystem_lite/module_hal:ActsDemoTest"
            ]    
        }
    }
    ```

5.  Run compilation commands.

    Test suites are compiled along with version compilation. The ACTS is compiled together with the debug version.

    >![](figures/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
    >The ACTS compiles middleware as a static library, which will be linked to the image.


### C-based Test Case Execution \(for Mini-System Devices\)<a name="section10100701294"></a>

**Executing test cases for mini-system devices**

Burn the image into the development board.

**Executing the test**

1.  Use a serial port tool to log in to the development board and save information about the serial port.
2.  Restart the device and view serial port logs.

**Analyzing the test result**

View the serial port logs, whose format is as follows:

The log for each test suite starts with  **Start to run test suite:**  and ends with  **xx Tests xx Failures xx Ignored**.

### C++-based Test Case Development and Compilation \(for Small-, Standard-, and Large-System Devices\)<a name="section5714177113113"></a>

**Developing test cases for small-system devices**

The HCPPTest framework is enhanced and adapted based on the open-source framework Googletest.

1.  Access the  **test/xts/acts**  repository where the test cases will be stored.

    ```
    ├── acts
    │ └──subsystem_lite
    │ │ └── module_posix
    │ │ │ └── BUILD.gn
    │ │ │ └── src
    │ └──build_lite
    │ │ └── BUILD.gn
    ```

2.  Write the test case in the  **src**  directory.

    1. Import the test framework header file.

    The following statement includes  **gtest.h**.

    ```
    #include "gtest/gtest.h"
    ```

    2. Define Setup and TearDown.

    ```
    using namespace std;
    using namespace testing::ext;
    class TestSuite: public testing::Test {
    protected:
    // Preset action of the test suite, which is executed before the first test case
    static void SetUpTestCase(void){
    }
    // Test suite cleanup action, which is executed after the last test case
    static void TearDownTestCase(void){
    }
    // Preset action of the test case
    virtual void SetUp()
    {
    }
    // Cleanup action of the test case
    virtual void TearDown()
    {
    }
    };
    ```

    3. Use the  **HWTEST**  or  **HWTEST\_F**  macro to write the test case.

    **HWTEST**: definition of common test cases, including the test suite name, test case name, and case annotation.

    **HWTEST\_F**: definition of SetUp and TearDown test cases, including the test suite name, test case name, and case annotation.

    Three parameters are involved: test suite name, test case name, and test case properties \(including type, granularity, and level\).

    ```
    HWTEST_F(TestSuite, TestCase_0001, Function | MediumTest | Level1) {
    // Do something
    }
    ```

3.  Create a configuration file \(**BUILD.gn**\) of the test module.

    Create a  **BUILD.gn**  compilation file in each test module directory. Specify the name of the compiled static library and its dependent header file and library in the compilation file. Each test module is independently compiled into a  **.bin**  executable file, which can be directly mounted to the development board for testing.

    Example:

    ```
    import("//test/xts/tools/lite/build/suite_lite.gni")
    hcpptest_suite("ActsDemoTest") {
        suite_name = "acts"
        sources = [
            "src/TestDemo.cpp"
        ]
    
        include_dirs = [
            "src",
            ...
        ]
        deps = [
            ...
        ]
        cflags = [ "-Wno-error" ]
    }
    
    ```

4.  Add compilation options to the  **BUILD.gn**  file in the  **acts**  directory.

    Add the test module to the  **test/xts/acts/build\_lite/BUILD.gn**  script in the  **acts**  directory.

    ```
     lite_component("acts") {  
    ...
    else if(board_name == "liteos_a") {
            features += [
                ...
                "//xts/acts/subsystem_lite/module_posix:ActsDemoTest"
            ]
        }
    }
    ```

5.  Run compilation commands.

    Test suites are compiled along with the version compilation. The ACTS is compiled together with the debug version.

    >![](figures/icon-note.gif) **NOTE:** 
    >The ACTS for a small system device is independently compiled to an executable file \(.bin\) and archived in the  **suites\\acts**  directory of the compilation result.


### C++-based Test Case Execution \(for Small-, Standard-, and Large-System Devices\)<a name="section42281924184"></a>

**Executing test cases for small-system devices**

Currently, test cases are shared by the NFS and mounted to the development board for execution.

**Setting up the environment**

1.  Use a network cable or wireless network to connect the development board to your PC.
2.  Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the development board. Ensure that the development board and the PC are in the same network segment.
3.  Install and register the NFS server on the PC and start the NFS service.
4.  Run the  **mount**  command for the development board to ensure that the development board can access NFS shared files on the PC.

    Format:  **mount** _NFS server IP address_**:/**_NFS shared directory_ **/**_development board directory_ **nfs**

    Example:

    ```
    mount 192.168.1.10:/nfs /nfs nfs
    ```


**Executing test cases**

Execute  **ActsDemoTest.bin**  to trigger test case execution, and analyze serial port logs generated after the execution is complete.
