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.
Requirements
- Bugzilla 2.22 or 2.23
- MySQL
Testopia 1.1 is being tested on PostgreSQL. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356146 for status.
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. Testopia has been tested and is known to work with Bugzilla on Linux running MySQL. To my knowledge there is nothing that would prevent it from working on Windows, but this has not been tested.
Installation
Linux
From the tarball:
If you are installing Testopia from the release tarball, simply expand 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
You then need to run tr_install.pl followed by checksetup.pl, and follow any instructions that they produce.
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 directory 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 and run tr_install and checksetup. The last step is to install the dojo libraries:
$> cd path/to/bugzilla/testopia/ $> svn co http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/trunk/ dojo
Congratulations, you should be able to see the Testopia links at the bottom of your bugzilla pages.
Windows
Good question. For the most part it should work the same as on Linux, substituting the appropriate paths and commands. Unfortunately I don't have a good Windows setup to try it on.
Upgrading from 1.0
NOTE: This should only be done on a Bugzilla 2.22 installation
- Untar the testopia files.
- Remove testopia/tr_patch_successful
- run patch -p2 -i testopia/patch-2.22 (Answer no when it asks to apply -R)
- run tr_install.pl -nopatch
- run checksetup.pl
