Database schema

The primary goal when designing the database schema was versatility. The desire was to have the ability to store test data from yet-to-be-created tests in addition to meeting the needs of 'other activities' that may become relevant in the future.

Testrun Table

The Testrun table corresponds with a single execution of a test. This table only stores the most common information, common to all current and future tests.

TestrunData Table

Any data not covered by attributes in Testrun (such as tested package/update, architecture, etc) will be stored in the TestrunData table as key-value pairs. The potential and expected keys for these key-value pairs will be defined by test metadata. It is possible to include information about 'always present' and 'sometimes present' keys ^[1].

TestrunPhase Table

Testruns can be divided into phases (e.g. Setup phase of the test, downloading packages from koji) which are stored in the TestrunPhase table. If the test developer splits the test into multiple phases, each phase has its own result in addition to the global result stored in the Testrun table. Once tests are split up into phases, it will be possible to use test metadata to determine the severity of failures (e.g. a failure during the setup phase is not as severe as a failure during the test phase).

Job Table

For the immediate future, there are no plans to utilize the Job table in ResultsDB. That table is in the schema to allow for the ability to group several testruns (e.g. rpmguard and conflicts for a specific package). At the time of this writing, this type of grouping is not compatibly with current scheduling methods but the grouping can be easily taken care of with various frontend implementations.

Default key-values for basic test classes

Installation tests

release_name
compose_date
arch

Repository tests

repo_name
compose_date
arch

Package tests

pkg_name
envr
arch

Recommended:

koji_tag

Specific keyval examples - tests using Bodhi hook:

bodhi_tag/request -- to mark in which state in Bodhi the package was

Specific keyval examples - comparative tests:

counterpart_name
counterpart_envr
counterpart_koji_tag
counterpart_bodhi_tag/request, ...

Next Steps

Package Update Acceptance Test Plan Frontend

Create wiki metadata for testplan & testcases describing it
- Repo sanity
- Upgrade path

Create simple frontend like: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Package_acceptance_dashboard.png
- where do i get recent builds?
- progress bar:
  - how many tests there are for the testplan? - testplan wiki page
  - what is the progress? - resultsdb - how to get 'the right' results? is 'take the latests tests for envra' way ok? Jobs in autoqa?
- detailed info - detailed state of the testcases (passed/failed/running, detailed phases [if described on the wiki page])

-Testrun is the representation of the whole test result. The test this testrun represents may implement more phases (one testrun may contain 0..* phases) - All we worry about in test phase is it's name and result).

-If one needs to encapsulate more testruns into one (merely imaginary) unit, it's possible to aggregate those testruns using Job (one job may contain 0..* Testruns).

-Each test may return additional data (in key-value format) which it needs to store (e.g. compose date, envra,...) - TestrunData is the place to store these.
