Goal of testing:

Determine and ensure that the functionality of OpenXT has not been compromised by the staggering changes that the product has been subjected to.  Validation of the entire product needs to be determined through the testing of these components.

Regressions will be determined by evaluating the system from previous baselines of stable OpenXT and downstream derivative products.  Every major part of OpenXT has been changed, including:

Changes (growing list):

• Xen has been up-reved to 4.11 with the plan to go to 4.12 to get Argo support (replacing v4v)
• Qemu has been up-reved
• dom0 is a 64 bit OS
• All Haskel and other programs are 64bit - rpc-proxy, xenmgr, updatemgr, hvmloader, seal-system, tpm tools (need to verify everything working), etc
• NDVMs are now HVM guests, not PV
• Addition of OVMF for UEFI guests

Testing areas should include:

• General guest VM installation in both boot modes
• General guest VM configurations in both boot modes
• Installations with UEFI and Legacy guests
• GPU PT with each guest in both boot modes
• UIVM testing, including all menus and options
• Network configuration testing, especially with multiple (Wired and WIFI) devices to a single NDVM
• MLE testing, reseal and forward seal paths on TPM 1.2 and 2.0 in both UEFI and Legacy modes
  • MLE testing will validate DRTM for legacy boot.
  • MLE testing will validate DRTM and SRTM for UEFI boot.
• Upgrade testing (if possible) in UEFI and Legacy modes
  
  • Upgrades are broken in UEFI mode due to stable-8 not having DRTM

Base functionality of installing the system, installing guest VMs, and having a workable UI, as well as testing out command line options, should allow us to get a handle on how broken the system may be.

Performance and Stress tests to be performed:

• Performance tests with GPU PT guests in both boot modes
• Performance testing of the new NDVMs
• Performance testing of normal HVM guests, Linux and windows.  Less care about OXT Tools...
• Guest stress tests
  • Tests run in a variety of times from 72 to 120 hours with a combination of:
    • Testing memory and CPU using HeavyLoad
    • Testing CPU performance utilizing Prime95
    • Running a looping video
• Host stress tests
  • Tests run in a variety of timings up to 120 hours with:
    • Starting guest VMs
    • Stopping guest VMs
• GPU PT stress tests in both boot modes

Stress and performance testing is vital to the stability of the system.  Many problems that normally do not appear in normal testing will crop up relatively quickly in these tests and will help weed out any unseen issues.

Guest VM OSs under Tests:

• Windows 10 1809
• Windows 10 1803
• RHEL 7.6

Additional Analysis:

• Look at guest template options for improvements due to new qemu/xen options (UEFI options)
• Verify in guest that options being set are not drastically different from the downstream products and other stable versions of OpenXT.
• Inspection of qemu args
• Inspect SINIT modules being used and what platforms will be capable of running with OXT.

With the sudden change of so many elements, it is important to look at what changes have occurred for the better and utilize the new technologies that the upgrades have provided the system.

Resource allocation:

The current plan is for two AIS Systems Engineers to test the OpenXT platform, taking two weeks to complete the test execution plan.

Hardware resources:

• Dell XE3 (Coffee Lake)
• Dell 7490
• HP EliteDesk 800g3 mini

Risks:

• Changing to Xen 4.12 may invalidate all of the current testing 
• Time for validating bug fixes found during testing might be minimal after the testing period is complete

Test Matrix

Bugs are being logged against the epic OXT-1568.  Testing has started and the chart is being updated daily, as these tests are the bare minimum and more can be added.

Notes

Adding this area for bugs and other information found during testing that occured but where not easily reproduced.  Bugs may not exist in Jira, but areas that should be noted.

• On the XE3 with a USB PCIe card and a nVidia M2000 GPU, experienced multiple reboots after installation of OpenXT.  It appeared to reboot 3-4 times before the UIVM actually came up, however the first boot after install did show that it properly sealed in the blue screen.  They were full reboots, showing the Dell Bios logo.
• On the Dell 7490, the box appeared to reboot two times.  There is a question as to whether the Seal screen was seen.
• On the XE3, there was a state where the guest would not shutdown from the UIVM.  This was found during the bug issue OXT-1569, so I am assuming that the shutdown command was being issued to the wrong domain id.
• Installing UEFI can be tricky, as it first opts to PXE boot.  You must hit c to go to the command prompt, type exit, then go to the UEFI firmware to continue boot to other devices, such as the qemu emulated CD rom.  This method might cause OXT-1569, as it almost seems to do a soft reset.
• Hot plugging monitors caused issues, but more investigation would need to be done.
• Can install guest tools on Windows 10 (legacy bios) without installing developer.cer.  There will be multiple popups warning of untrusted drivers, but clicking OK on each will allow installation to continue.  Installing developer.cer as per the wiki instructions makes installation smoother.
• Possible ticket: Windows 10, 1809 Latitude 7490.  USB mouse periodically stops tracking.  Right and left click still function, but cursor will not move.  Mouse continues to move in UIVM, and trackpad continues to work.  Happens frequently but can't repo on purpose
• Possible ticket: Windows 10, 1809: Ctrl+number switching stops opening the guest VM.  DomID for guest will be different from that reported when attempting to ctrl switch.
• HP results mostly inconclusive due to
