While -the tests cannot be performed in parallel, each one can be automated. To -accelerate board bring-up and ensure quality, the Chrome OS team is in the -process of automating the tests so that partners can run them on site. - -Testing at the partner site has numerous benefits for both partners and Google: - -* Shortens the feedback loop for bugs found with automated testing. -* Enables testing on revisions of boards that Google does not have. -* Identifies hardware defects before mass production begins. -* Detects regressions during Final Shipping Image and AU image - revisions. -* Enables testing of new hardware components (e.g., replace EOL - components or evaluate a new variant of an existing SKU, such as a - touchscreen version). -* Provides a channel for partners to write, run, and add tests to the - Google framework. - -## What is MobLab? - -### Required Hardware - -MobLab is a test system in a box: a customized Chrome OS image loaded onto a -Chromebox. The MobLab tests are the same tests that the Chrome OS team at Google -runs in the Chrome OS lab. A few customizations have been added to help -partners, like extra processes to streamline interactions with the test suite. - -The hardware specs for the supported Moblab platform as of Oct 1, 2015 are -below.

It handles network setup and configuration -tasks, including requesting addresses and configuring services. - -The connection to the corporate network and the Internet enables automatic -updates of the MobLab server image, as well as access to Google Cloud Storage. -The corporate network at the partner site should provide security features -(firewall, VPN, etc.) to protect MobLab and the test subnet from potential -external attacks. - ---- - -## Advantages - -This section describes the advantages of setting up MobLab and running tests at -your site. - -### Easy to set up and manage - -MobLab requires virtually no administrative overhead. Storage, network -communication, and software updates are all managed automatically. The latest -software is used for testing, and versions of the operating system and test -suite are always in sync. - -### Full lab feature support - -Any Autotest suite or individual test case can be run on a single box. This -includes test suites such as build validation tests (BVT), hardware component -qualification tests, and custom automated tests. MobLab can run any test written -using the Autotest framework. - -Depending on the type of component being tested, additional equipment may be -required. For example, a WiFi signal is required for wireless connectivity -tests. - -### Scaleable - -The Autotest framework enables running across multiple machines and scheduling -tests. Simpler tools and test frameworks only support manually launching tests, -or running them on a single machine. With Autotest, you can also define pools of -multiple hosts, to group machines and set scheduling priorities. - -### Common ground - -Moblab provides a common platform for test infrastructure. Using the same -hardware, software, and test builds makes communication between partners and -Google more efficient. When issues are found, having a common platform makes it -much quicker and easier to reproduce them. - -### Open source project - -Community support provides greater security and faster response time for -questions and issues. Source files are available for inspection and -customization, and partner contributions are welcome. The only feature -unavailable to custom builds of MobLab is automatic server updates. - -## Summary - -With MobLab, partners get a robust, low-maintenance test environment where they -can: - -* Run the same tests in a repeatable fashion as in the Chrome OS lab. -* View test results. -* Access build images for projects they are responsible for. -* Run custom local tests that are not a part of the Chromium OS source - tree. |
