This topic describes the Comms-infras Esock test suites. It provides an overview of the test suite, its coverage, how to set up the test environment to execute the test suite, and how to find further information about the test cases offered by this test suite.
Test Suite Overview
The Comms-Infras ESOCK Test Suite consists of several regression test suites that provide tests for RConnection, RSocketServ, RSocket and RSubConnection classes.
All API's that Symbian classify as PublisedAll are tested within these classes.
Note: Any mention of epoc32 is offset by %EPOCROOT%.
Test Approach
The test suite is a means of confidence that the APIs work as expected. Negative testing is performed wherever it is needed, to confirm that correct errors are returned when incorrect parameters are given. The tests are automated and does not require user intervention.
Coverage Omissions
The following RConnection’s publishedAll API’s have been omitted as their corresponding parameters (enumerated values) are PublishedPartner:
The following RSocketServ APIs are not tested as they are only used for debugging purposes:
All the APIs are tested over IP protocols, TCP and UDP. These protocols do not support Connect/Disconnect with datam, so the following RSocket API's are not tested:
The following RSubConnection functions are omitted as they are not currently implemented:

Test Script Build location
When the tests are built, the scripts are built into the following location:
%EPOCROOT%\epoc32\release\<winscw|armv5>\<udeb|urel>\Z\comms-infras\esock.
Note: When the tests are built to be executed on hardware the files are built into the z: drive of the ROM.

Test Data Files Emulator Location
The build process builds the data files to the following location: %EPOCROOT%\epoc32\release\<winscw|armv5>\<udeb|urel>\Z\comms-infras\esock\t_<class name>.
Note: When the tests are built to be executed on hardware the files are built into the z: drive of the ROM.
Test .driver File
The comms-infras.driver file found in …\os\commsfw\commsinfrastructureapitest\commsinfrastructuresvs\suite\testsuites\comms-infras is used by the test driver to construct the test suite tree structure and export all the appropriate files to the correct location in the epoc32 tree and on the device.
When the tests are built, the .driver file can be found in the following location %EPOCROOT%\epoc32\testdriver\testproduct
The .tcs file can be found at the following location:
…\os\commsfw\commsinfrastructureapitest\commsinfrastructuresvs\suite\config\t_comms-infras.tcs
TCS File Build Location
When the tests are built, the scripts are built into the following location:
%EPOCROOT%\epoc32\release\<winscw|armv5>\<udeb|urel>\Z\comms-infras\
Note: When the tests are built to be executed on hardware the files are built into the z: drive of the ROM.
Refer to the Comms-infras Test Technology Document for details regarding the test environment and execution procedure.
Remote side test environment setup
The standard PC environment setup does not support some RConnection tests. This is because these tests change the properties of the PC to device connection. These tests are in the Extracted-COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicApi.script file, and can be run with a special environmental set up. The Extracted-COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI.script describes the environment required to run each test. This script must be run manually.
The following RConnection tests retrieve settings from the Comms DB and verify that their values are correct:
COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0027 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0028 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0029 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0030 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0031 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0032 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0033 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0034 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0035 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0036 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0037 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0038 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0039 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0040 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0041 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0042 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0043 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0046 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0047 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0048 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0049 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0092 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0093 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0094 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0095 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0096 COMINF-ESOCK-RConnection-PublicAPI-0097
Therefore, certain fields must exist in the Comms DB and their values must be as expected. This can be ensured by using the supplied CommDbCommsInfras.xml file to create the Comms DB (see Comms-infras Test Technology) for instructions on how to do this. Alternatively, it needs to be ensured that the following fields (and their values) exist in the Comms DB:
Location\PauseAfterDialout = 0 Location\Mobile = false Location\Name = Office LANService\IfNetworks = ip IAP\id = 6
Exclusion of Packet Switched Data (PSD) Tests
The default connection in the test environment is NTRAS, which is based on Circuit Switch Data (CSD). However, RSubConnection tests and COMINF-ESOCK-RSocket-PublicAPI-0024 test case are based on Packet Switched Data (PSD). Therefore, these tests are valid only on PSD.
These tests are automatically excluded from execution by using the following .tcs files:
COMINF-ESOCK-RSocket-PublicAPI-TCP.tcs
COMINF-ESOCK-RSubConnection-PublicAPI-Other.tcs
COMINF-ESOCK-RSubConnection-PublicAPI-TCP.tcs
COMINF-ESOCK-RSubConnection-PublicAPI-UDP.tcs
See Comms-infras Test Technology for execution details when executing the tests manually.
Note: If the PSD environment is available, then the excluded tests can be included by deleting the test case IDs from the .tcs files.
Support
For support issues relating to this Test Suite description and issues surrounding the running of the tests, test pass rates, and potential defects, contact Symbian or your SDK provider. In most instances, this will be either through the SDK provider forums, or the developer area of the Symbian Web site.
