Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of service deployment testing, and in particular to an initialization method for a SAI Thrift testing environment. Background Art

[0002] Thrift is a cross-language, cross-platform service deployment framework. It uses an interface definition language to define RPC interfaces and data types. The Thrift compiler then generates code in different languages, which implements the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol and transport layers. RPC is a remote procedure call protocol that enables applications to call remote procedures or services as if they were local methods. It can be applied in many scenarios, including distributed services, distributed computing, and remote service calls.

[0003] SAI Thrift is a SAI functional testing framework based on Thrift technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, it consists of a server (Test Machine) and a device under test (DUT, DeviceUnderTest), where the server is also Figure 1 In the Switch, the server's network interface card is directly connected to the network port of the device under test (DUT). The DUT acts as the SAI Thrift test server, and the server Test Machine acts as the SAI Thrift test client. A SAI ServerContainer, also known as ThriftTestServer, runs on the DUT's Switch. A server with multiple INTF network interfaces is used as the Test Machine, also known as the SAI ThriftTestClient. The server interface is physically connected to the DUT. Test PTF scripts are executed on the SAI ThriftTestClient to test the DUT's functionality and performance. Currently, the test device and test server are interconnected using multiple network ports for functional testing. The Test Machine server first remotely calls the SAI external interface on the DUT to configure the device. The Test Machine server then constructs and assembles a message and sends it to the DUT via the network interface card. The Test Machine server then checks whether the network interface card has received the message from the DUT. If so, it further verifies that the message format meets expectations, thereby testing the DUT's message forwarding functionality.

[0004] During the practical application of SAI Thrift, unexpected protocol packets may sometimes be received. However, the test device still forwards the packets according to the default forwarding behavior. As a result, when the test server verifies the packet forwarding behavior of the tested device through the PTF script, it will receive unexpected packets, resulting in test case execution failure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for initializing a SAI Thrift test environment is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Build the SAI Thrift testing framework;

[0007] Initialize the device under test of the SAI Thrift test framework to ensure that the device under test starts with an empty configuration;

[0008] Set the on / off status of the application port of the SAI Thrift test framework to eliminate the impact of non-test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework;

[0009] Set the VLAN attributes of the application port to eliminate the impact of the default VLAN forwarding behavior of the SAI Thrift test framework on the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework;

[0010] The SAI Thrift test framework server sends two ACL rules to the device under test to ensure that only messages related to the test case are received;

[0011] The server executes the test cases;

[0012] Delete two ACL rules to obtain a clean test environment for the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0013] Furthermore, the device under test of the SAI Thrift test framework is initialized to ensure that the device under test starts with an empty configuration. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0014] Delete the config_db.json configuration file and the copp_cfg.json configuration file of the tested device;

[0015] Restart the device under test.

[0016] Furthermore, the on / off status of the interface of the SAI Thrift test framework is set to eliminate the impact of non-test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework, which includes the following sub-steps:

[0017] Close all application ports in the SAI Thrift test framework;

[0018] Get the list of ports used by the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework;

[0019] Open application ports that match the port list to eliminate the impact of application ports not related to test cases on test cases.

[0020] Furthermore, set the VLAN attributes of the application port to eliminate the impact of the SAI Thrift test framework's default VLAN forwarding behavior on the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0021] Delete the default VLAN 1 configuration on the application port.

[0022] Furthermore, for test cases that do not explicitly apply the VLAN attributes of the port, the Layer 2 configuration attributes of the port are supplemented to clarify the test case.

[0023] Furthermore, the SAI Thrift test framework server sends two ACL rules to the device under test to ensure that only messages related to the test case can be received. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0024] The server sends a first ACL rule to the device under test, which is used to discard packets received by the test port.

[0025] Get the PTF packet format of the test case to match the message format specified by the test case;

[0026] The server sends a second ACL rule to the device under test for receiving packets.

[0027] Furthermore, the priority of the first ACL rule is low.

[0028] Furthermore, the priority of the second ACL rule is high.

[0029] The SAI Thrift test environment initialization method according to the embodiment of the present invention eliminates the influence of the test environment of the SAI Thrift test framework on the execution results of the test cases, and effectively ensures the stable and reliable execution of the test cases.

[0030] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary, and are intended to provide further explanation of the technology as claimed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0038] First, combine Figures 2 to 6 The present invention describes an initialization method for a SAI Thrift test environment according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to eliminate unexpected protocol message forwarding and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for initializing the SAI Thrift test environment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0040] In S1, as Figure 2 As shown, build the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0041] In S2, as Figure 2 As shown, the device under test of the SAI Thrift test framework is initialized to ensure that the device under test starts with an empty configuration.

[0042] Furthermore, the device under test of the SAI Thrift test framework is initialized to ensure that the device under test starts with an empty configuration. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0043] In S21, if Figure 3 As shown in the following figure, delete the config_db.json configuration file and the copp_cfg.json configuration file of the tested device.

[0044] In S22, if Figure 3 As shown, restart the device under test to ensure that the device under test starts with an empty configuration, eliminating the impact of the configuration in the configuration file on the test case.

[0045] In S3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the on / off status of the application port of the SAI Thrift test framework is set to eliminate the influence of non-test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0046] Furthermore, the state of the interface of the SAI Thrift test framework is set to eliminate the impact of non-test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework, which includes the following sub-steps:

[0047] In S31, if Figure 4 As shown, close all application ports in the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0048] In S32, as Figure 4 As shown, get the port list used by the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0049] In S33, as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the application ports that match the port list are opened to exclude the impact of application ports related to non-test cases on the test cases.

[0050] In S4, as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the VLAN attribute of the application port is set to eliminate the impact of the default VLAN forwarding behavior of the SAI Thrift test framework on the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework.

[0051] Furthermore, set the VLAN attributes of the application port to eliminate the impact of the SAI Thrift test framework's default VLAN forwarding behavior on the test cases of the SAI Thrift test framework. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0052] In S41, if Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the default VLAN1 configuration in the application port is deleted, so that all packet forwarding depends on the explicitly delivered configuration.

[0053] Furthermore, for test cases that do not explicitly apply the VLAN attributes of the port, the Layer 2 configuration attributes of the port are supplemented to the test case. It is recommended that a test case for a feature be explicitly declared once, which can effectively eliminate the impact of the default VLAN forwarding behavior on the test case execution.

[0054] In S5, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, the server of the SAI Thrift test framework sends two ACL rules to the device under test to ensure that only messages related to the test case can be received.

[0055] Furthermore, the SAI Thrift test framework server sends two ACL rules to the device under test to receive messages related to the test case. This includes the following sub-steps:

[0056] In S51, if Figure 6 As shown, the service sends a first ACL rule to the device under test, which is used to discard the messages received by the test port.

[0057] Furthermore, the priority of the first ACL rule is low.

[0058] In S52, if Figure 6 As shown, the PTF packet format of the test case is obtained, which is used to match the format of the message specified by the test case and receive the message.

[0059] In S53, as Figure 6 As shown, the service sends a second ACL rule to the device under test for receiving the message specified by the test case, further eliminating the impact of unexpected messages on the test case execution result.

[0060] Furthermore, the priority of the second ACL rule is high.

[0061] In S6, as Figure 2 As shown, the server executes the test case, which is a standard test case used to test the functional correctness of the device under test.

[0062] In S7, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after the test case is executed, the two ACL rules are deleted to obtain a pure test environment of the SAI Thrift test framework, ensuring the normal execution of subsequent test cases.

[0063] This embodiment effectively ensures the cleanliness and reliability of the test environment before executing the test case by eliminating the influence of problems such as configuration files, application ports related to non-test cases, default VLAN settings of application ports, and unexpected protocol messages, thereby further ensuring the stability and reliability of the test case execution.

[0064] Above, refer to Figures 2 to 6 The invention discloses an initialization method for a SAI Thrift test environment, which eliminates the influence of the test environment of the SAI Thrift test framework on the execution results of test cases and effectively ensures the stable and reliable execution of test cases.
