Hi, we are pleased to announce an alpha version of our network application testsuite and we invite you to participate. We are especially interested in tests for specific packages that contain client and/or server software that are not included yet.
We are currently testing a small set of packages for behavior in various network configurations with regard to IPv6 deployment issues. The test driver starts client and server software in a controlled environment based on ptrace and network namespaces, collects data about their behavior and evaluates it. If you maintain a package that communicates over network we would like to ask you for help. For packages that are not yet covered, we need to write two simple scripts. First should start the server side process and wait for connection. The second script will start the client process which should connect to the server. The source code is on github including installation and running instructions. Installation on Fedora and EPEL7 using a COPR repository are included in the README file that can be found using the following link. https://github.com/pavlix/network-testing It is mostly based on our previous work on defining client and server software networking issues and test scenarios. Those are described in the Fedora Wiki and are based on testing environment descriptions also described there. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Networking/Client_software https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Networking/Test_environment Anyone willing to help please contact either of us directly or contribute via GitHub.
