Storing tests and results

After building a test, the resulting binaries and the data files are collected in a repository. The path to the repository is defined when configuring the TestDriver, for details, see Configuring the TestDriver. The repository structure also represents the test hierarchy.

The test structure of the repository would be in this form:

${repositoryRoot}/${buildNumber}/${platform}/${build}/${xmlTree} where:

• REPOSITORY_ROOT_FOLDER is the location of the repository specified by the command testdriver config –-repos

• BUILD_NUMBER is calculated depending on your epocroot specified by the command testdriver config –e

• PLATFORM is the platform specified in any command using the option -p (ARM4/WINS/WINSCW/THUMB)

• BUILD is the build specified anywhere using the option -b (UDEB/ UREL)

• XML Tree is the tree structure of your Driver file organised by tasks.

The figure below is an example of a repository constructed as a result of building plattest.st_security winscw urel.

After the execution of the test, the output file is copied to the repository following the standard hierarchy of files: ${repository_dir}\${build_number}\${suite_name}\${test_name}.test.log.

While a test is being executed, the log file, is temporarily stored in a location which is determined in the following order:

1. extra optional parameter in the run command using the option -l

2. optional parameter in TestDriver preferences in the configuration file ("Log")

3. c:\test.log

The -l switch is used to specify the location to save the RTests and the RDebug logs. Specifiy the comm port to be connected to the RDebug port on the machine, the RDebug or the RTest output are routed through this port. For example, testdriver run -l comm1 where, comm1 is the RDebug or RTests port.

Specify the complete location either in the command line or in the (configuration file) preferences, for example, "c:\directory" is interpreted as a file directory in C:\.

The test results are generated based on the XML Schema defined.
