Testopia:README

Welcome to Testopia!

Testopia is a test case management extension for Bugzilla. It is designed to be a generic tool for tracking test cases, allowing for testing organizations to integrate bug reporting with their test case run results. Though it is designed with software testing in mind, it can be used to track testing on virtually anything in the engineering process.

The following installation instructions assume you are installing the latest version of Testopia, currently version 2.0.

Requirements

• Bugzilla 3.0.x (3.0, 3.0.1+)
• Perl JSON 2.10
• GD-Graph3d 0.63

Testopia is an extension to Bugzilla. This means that if you have one of the supported versions of Bugzilla installed, you are all set to install Testopia. Installation instructions for Bugzilla can be found at http://bugzilla.org

Note: The following assumes you have installed Bugzilla according to the Bugzilla instructions. Installations from Debian .deb or from some RPM packages may place Bugzilla files in separate directories in which case, these will not work.

Please make sure that your language of Bugzilla is the same as language of Testopia to be installed on. If you are not sure, just set language of your Bugzilla to English. You can change it any time later.

Installation on Linux

From the tarball: If you are installing Testopia from the release tarball, simply untar the tarball in your bugzilla top level directory. On Linux this would look something like this:

 $> cp testopia-<version>.tar.gz /path/to/bugzilla
 $> cd /path/to/bugzilla
 $> tar xzvf testopia-<version>.tar.gz

Next you need to patch the Bugzilla files. For Bugzilla 3.0:

 $> patch -p0 -i testopia/patch-3.0

For Bugzilla 3.0.1+:

 $> patch -p0 -i testopia/patch-3.0.x
 

Finally, you need to run checksetup.pl

 $> ./checksetup.pl

If you are missing any dependencies, checksetup.pl will inform you. See "Installing Dependencies".

From CVS: If you want to install the latest code from CVS you will need to do the following:

1. Check out the CVS code in a temporary location

 $> export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
 $> cvs login
 (Logging in to anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org)
 CVS password: anonymous

 $> cvs co Testopia

2. You will now make a tarball of the source. If you like to update your Bugzilla from CVS, be sure to delete the top level CVS direcory first.

 $> cd mozilla/webtools/testopia
 $> rm -rf CVS
 $> tar cvf /tmp/testopia.tar .

Once you have your tarball, follow the instructions above to untar it into your Bugzilla directory The last step is to install the Ext libraries:

 $> cd path/to/bugzilla/testopia/
 $> wget http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-2.0.1.zip
 $> unzip ext-2.0.1.zip
 $> mv ext-2.0.1 extjs

Congratulations, you should be able to see the Testopia links at the bottom of your bugzilla pages.

Installation on Windows

Windows installations are not officially supported. By this we mean don't ask the developers for help as we have never tried to install on Windows and don't have any desire to. However, there have been numerous users that have managed to do so on their own. Here are some pointers:

   1. Add a .txt file extension to your corresponding patch file (\bugzilla\testopia\patch-3.0[.x]). 

   2. Edit the above patch file to remove *nix line feed characters, and putting    
   in classic DOS/Windows carriage returns.
   You can do this manually, or there are numerous utilities that will do this for you, such as unix2dos or tofrodos.

   3. Download GNU Patch and install it in a directory in your path.
      It can be downloaded from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm

   4. Change PERL paths from native *nix, to a Windows Format.    
If you have MySQL Server installed, the Replace utility does a great job at this:
   
      C:\<apache path>\htdocs\bugzilla> <MySQL path>\bin\replace.exe" "#!/usr/bin/perl" "#!C:\perl\bin\perl" -- *.cgi *.pl
      C:\<apache path>\htdocs\bugzilla\Bugzilla> <MySQL path>\bin\replace.exe" "#!/usr/bin/perl" "#!C:\perl\bin\perl" -- *.pm

From here the steps should be fairly identical to those above, meaning patch the files and run checksetup.pl.

If you have problems please post questions to the support-webtools list. Do not email the developers directly.

If you find additional pointers, please post them to the Wiki version of this file at http://wiki.mozilla.org/Testopia:README

Installing Dependencies

Some of the most common dependencies you'll need to install can be easily installed in both Windows and linux:

Install JSON:

    perl -MCPAN -e shell
    install M/MA/MAKAMAKA/JSON-2.10.tar.gz

Install GD-Graph3d:

    perl-MCPAN -e shell
    install W/WA/WADG/GD-Graph3d-0.63.tar.gz

Upgrading

Upgrading on Bugzilla 3.0.x from Testopia 1.3 to 2.0:

   1. Reverse the patch by running the command above with the -R option.
   2. Follow the steps above to untar, reapply the patch, and run checksetup.

However, you will need to patch with the patch-3.0 NOT 3.0.x as described above.

Upgrading from Bugzilla 2.22:

You should first reverse the 2.22 patch with

   $> patch -p2 -R -i testopia/patch-2.22

As Testopia 2.0 is designed to work only with Bugzilla 3.0.x, you must first upgrade Bugzilla. You can follow the instructions from http://bugzilla.org to do this.

From there, follow the installation instructions above.

Upgrading to latest from CVS:

Testopia comes with a script to update to the lates checked in version (trunk or tip). WARNING: This should only be done against the latest released version. The tip is considered unstable.

   $<path to bugzilla>/testopia/contrib> bash cvs_update.sh /path/to/bugzilla

The script can be modified to checkout a tag or version if you know what you are doing.
