NFD

I have documented the steps to test using traffic generator, ndn-cpp-dev, and ndnd-tlv on one machine. Moving to more complex system (two or more machines, or more apps).

ndn-traffic-generator is tested to run correctly on two VMs connected by ethernet. Jerald is implementing verification feature on client side to allow the application to verify correctness of the content.

Currently I have two VMs connected by Ethernet. The integrating test script runs NFD on both VMs and then run ndn-traffic-generator to test connectivity. One test takes one minute. After the test, the script will present the report about percentage data and interest loss, data correctness, etc.

Doing experiment on test bed on copying code coverage report from slave to master node for display.

Looks like the cobertura plugin does not fully support multi-configuration jobs (not shown as fancy as for free-style jobs). I tried to copy the coverage.xml file from slave to master using "copy to slave" plugin but it does not work. The steps to view the code coverage report for multi-configuration jobs are:

1. Click on the build link that jenkins posted on gerrit so you can go to the jenkins page for the build.

2. Click on the slave that does code coverage check for that build (Under "configuration").

3. Click on "Cobertura Coverage Report" to view the detailed report.

This is undesirable but acceptable.

Please deploy the feature on main Jenkins, and update CodeCoverage on how to access the reports.

The integrating test consists of the following parts:

1. NRD
   Run application with environment variable NFD=1 and NRD=1. The FIB should be updated. Since currently there is no way to look into FIB, try to use the application and see if it works. If the application does not work, there must be something wrong. If it does work, there might be something wrong. This part will become easier when the status server works.

2. TCP and UDP Faces
   I think this is the task #1362 created by Junxiao

3. Local face
   Similar to part 2, but with only one node and TCP face only.

4. Multicast
   A, B, and C are connect to the same Ethernet (Junxiao said A, B, and C are connect to one L2 hub if all three nodes are VMs in virtualbox). Use multicast on A and observe the application output on B and C.

5. /localhop and /localhost
   There should be three nodes A, B, and C and two links A-B, B-C. For /localhost, only application running on A but not B and C can see the interest. For /localhop, only applications running on A and B but not C can see the interest.

Each scenario should have its own Task similar to #1362, so that progress can be tracked.

Again, this task only refers to ONE TEST SCENARIO. It should be closed when this specific scenario is working.

I'm unable to clone NFD/integration-tests repository.

shijunxiao@m0213:~$ git clone ssh://sunny@gerrit.named-data.net:29418/NFD/integration-tests
Cloning into 'integration-tests'...

Please investigate.

This is something to do with gerrit. It needs initial commit approved for the command to succeed. Right now master branch doesn't exist, so there is nothing to clone (actually, to checkout).

With the following you can fetch Jerald's commit:

git clone ssh://sunny@gerrit.named-data.net:29418/NFD/integration-tests -n
cd integration-tests
git fetch ssh://sunny@gerrit.named-data.net:29418/NFD/integration-tests refs/changes/87/587/5 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD -b some-branch
