WISE-Agent Verification Tool

Introduction

AgentTester – a software tool for testing all sorts of functions and modules of the Agent.

Architecture

The architecture of AgentTester is described as follows. The agent includes three different layers: Main, Module and Library.

 

• Main Layer

               The main executable function to load all the modules required to test functions of an agent.

• Module Layer:

               All modules used to test functions of an agent.

• Library Layer:

               All libraries required in modules.

 

Configuration

AgentTester takes an INI file (CheckerSetting.ini) as its configuration to know which modules are required to test an agent according to a user’s requirements. User can modify INI file to load or unload modules for meeting his/her wanted test conditions.

 

•  Modules Section

               This section is used to define how many and which modules required to load. And the required operation time for the module.

• Server Section

               This section describes the server setting, which must be as same as agent_config.xml with your test target.

• Reconnect_Server Section

                The section for ServerRedCK to test server redundancy. The setting consists of the configuration of a slave server to reconnect. (only support the same server as [Server])

• Device Section

                The section defines DeviceID.

• Topics Section

                The section describes a topic to subscribe. (only one topic allowed, use '+' to receive messages as many as possible)

• HandlerList Section

                The section describes a list to test handler list.

• Capability Section

                The section describes a list of handlers has to go through capability test.

• Report-Upload-Get Section

                The section describes a list of handlers has to go through report, upload and get test.

• Set Section

                The section describes a list of handlers has to go through set test.

Modules

This section introduces all modules called Checkers in AgentTest used to test functions of an agent.

 

• ConnetionCK

                The module is used to check connection functions of an agent such as reconnect function.

• GHandlerCapRepCk

                The module checks general handler’s functions including capability and reported data.

• HandlerCapGetSetUploadCK

                The Checker tests handler’s functions including capability, get, set and upload.

• HandlerLSCK

                The Checker checks handler list to know what handler an agent loads.

• ServerRedCK

                The Checker tests ServerRedundancyHandler’s functions including reconnect function and others.

• AServiceCK

                The Checker checks agent service’s status and functions.

• WatchDogCK

                The Checker checks WatchDog’s status and functions such as restarting a killed agent.

• IoTGWCK

                The Checker checks IoTGWHandler’s functions and the sensor hubs under the gateway.

• AProcessCK

                The Checker continuously checks agent process’s status.

All the modules above can be loaded or unloaded according to a user’s requirements or test conditions. By setting a suitable ini configuration, the test result could be simple and easy-to-read, no redundancy report would show.
