Subject: [Libburn-hackers] cheat tests proposal
|
|
|
|
Hi,
|
|
|
|
Here is a cheat list of performance tests I have in my mind for testing the
|
|
whole thing, for instance before release. This list does not depreciate the
|
|
practical use case pattern of a potential user or developer might happen to
|
|
have. The are put together to second-guess he potential testers, and anyone
|
|
can perform them at will (even partially) on a best effort fashion. I won't go
|
|
that deep to assign them artificial weights or priority.
|
|
|
|
1) Various compilation tests, like:
|
|
export CPPFLAGS=-DLibburn_use_sg_dummY; ./configure
|
|
repeat for the adapters of the all target OSes, there should be other
|
|
interesting macros, static check logs can easily reveal them:-)
|
|
This can be scripted of course.
|
|
|
|
2) Inspect the static check logs:
|
|
(revision numbers are well indicated)
|
|
http://people.debian.org/~danchev/xorriso/sclogs/
|
|
|
|
3) Inspect previous versions build daemon logs (various architectures, three
|
|
kernels: linux, kfreebsd, hurd) for interesting compiler warnings or errors:
|
|
http://buildd.debian.org
|
|
I'm sure I've seen FreeBSD public build logs before, but my searching fails so
|
|
far!
|
|
|
|
4) Testing xorriso in dialog mode:
|
|
perhaps this 'proof of concept' toy could be helpful:
|
|
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/danchev/medistimator.git;a=summary
|
|
this requires some specific knowledge of how the tool works (there are
|
|
hopefully very helpful comments in the source), to interpret the results and
|
|
compare them with the previous runs; my logs could be found at:
|
|
http://people.debian.org/~danchev/medistimator/log/
|
|
the aim is to catch speed performace hits, corectness of results, crashes, etc
|
|
when working on various input data trees, like very large BD-sized ones.
|
|
|
|
5) Profiling tests with gprof. We did that once :-)
|
|
|
|
Each of these tests has already caught a flaw or another, so they are stolen
|
|
from the past experience we already had. The list of course if open for adding
|
|
more interesting checks, like real burning ones for instance. I'm sure I
|
|
forgot at least one, since I had 6 in mind... Alois....
|
|
|
|
6) jigdo production.
|
|
|
|
I'll try to simplify a run like that one:
|
|
|
|
xorriso -as mkisofs -r
|
|
-checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1,sha256,sha512
|
|
-V 'Debian testing amd64 1'
|
|
-o /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/sidamd64/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
|
|
-jigdo-jigdo /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/sidamd64/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.jigdo
|
|
-jigdo-template /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/dst/deb-cd/out/sidamd64/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.template
|
|
-jigdo-map Debian=/org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/ftp/debian/
|
|
-jigdo-exclude boot1 -md5-list /org/cdbuilder.debian.org/src/deb-cd/tmp/sidamd64/wheezy/md5-check
|
|
-jigdo-min-file-size 1024

|
-jigdo-exclude 'README*' -jigdo-exclude /doc/
|
|
-jigdo-exclude /md5sum.txt -jigdo-exclude /.disk/
|
|
-jigdo-exclude /pics/
|
|
-jigdo-exclude 'Release*'
|
|
-jigdo-exclude 'Packages*'
|
|
-jigdo-exclude 'Sources*'
|
|
