Pyogp Test Harness

This is just a stub for now. To be filled out in the near future.

1. Test framework - unittest, doctest
2. Test data (I put this here, not really as a component of the harness, more as a "i'm not telling you my test account's password and what are we gonna do about it" thing)
3. Determine how to handle test data. I imagine we'll build a template and interface to an implementation of the template, and leave contents up to the developer.

Overview

AWG (in-world discussion group page) and Linden Lab plan to share the effort in writing a test harness which executes tests against implementations of the Open Grid Protocol (OGP). The intent is not to test SL or OpenSim (or gridX) themselves. Rather, the desire is to create a framework where the implementations of the protocols can be tested in any virtual environment implemented per the Open Grid Protocols as documented. We plan to be able to test at the smallest functional level possible, akin to unit testing, and to have the ability to use the framework to sequence steps to enable state specific tests to be run.

Project Status

• June 26, 2008 - Tess and Leyla have written some tests for the OGP protocol. At this point, they are untestable because the framework isn't sound enough.

Project Tasks

1. Get the requirements specification
   • May include use-cases
2. Design the test harness
3. Implement the test harness
   • Distribute the work across the contributors

• Python Client Library - dedicated page to the client library
• Pyogp Test Framework - dedicated page to the test harness
• Pyogp Roadmap - the overall plan for pyogp. Each dedicated page, however, has its own roadmap
• Pyogp Specification - the technical specifications and guidelines to follow when working on the code
• Internal jira tracking Linden Lab's involvement with the work: uh, I'll get back to you.
• Repository - http://svn.secondlife.com/trac/linden/browser/projects/2008/pyogp.
  • Note that the code here has changed. The new code is Tao's base code. The old code, the Linden code, is at pyogp_old.
• License - The Apache V2 License has been selected as the license of choice for pyogp.
