INTRODUCTION & DESIGN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  - Ocft is a testing tool for resource agents. Instead of the policy of HA,
    it mainly concerns whether resource agents run correct locally. It can 
    design types of complicated environments to test the reliability of 
    resource agents. Precisely, it is to display whether resource agents can 
    return to correct or expected value. The advantage of the tool provides 
    us with competence to design conditions which can be recorded or reproduced. 
    Hence it is useful to debuggers.

* Components
    ** Test case generator (/usr/sbin/ocft)
      - Turning configuration files of test case to executable scripts.

    ** Configuration file  (/usr/share/resource-agents/ocft/configs/)
      - Every configuration file directs only one resource agent and share the same 
        name with resource agent but contains more test cases.

    ** The testing script  (/var/lib/resource-agents/ocft/cases/)
      - After the generator reads configuration files and generates many testing 
        scripts and the script is underway, the test begins.

* How to customize the environment of testing
  - Ocft designs the running conditions through two ways, one is changing the 
    environment variables of resource agents (it is the interface left by OCF itself), 
    the other is modifying the OS environment of resource agents, such as altering 
    the permission of some key file or IP address of the machine.

* How to test
  - Firstly, you need to sketch the all complex and uncommon environments against 
    a certain resource agent and keep in mind what consequences may be caused by 
    these uncommon environments. 
    Secondly, write the designed conditions and foreknown consequences into 
    configuration files, and then run the generator to translate the test case to 
    executable scripts. 
    Finally, you need running these scripts to observe the output and learn 
    the running status of each test case, which will compares the predicated result 
    with the actual one. If they differ, you will be able to find the bugs of the 
    resource agent.


HOW TO WRITE CONFIGURATION FILE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  - There are only 4 top level options that are all spelled by capital letters and "-". 
    Every top level option contains sub-options that they are initials.

* 'CONFIG' (top level option)
  - Grammar: CONFIG
  - The design in this option is global and influences every test case.

    ** 'AgentRoot' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: AgentRoot /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/xxx
      - A few agents will go to "linbit" or "pacemaker" directory, if you define this option,
        ocft will use it to replace the default directory "heartbeat".

    ** 'InstallPackage' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: InstallPackage package [package2 [...]]
      - It will test whether the system have installed the service of the resource agent. 
        If not, it will download from Internet and have it installed automatically.

    ** 'HangTimeout' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: HangTimeout secs
      - If you alter some key options, some resource agents will get puzzled and stop, 
        which will influence the running of the following test case.  Hence timeout setting is 
        needed, if the resource agent stops timeout, the scripts will kill this resource agent.

* 'SETUP-AGENT' (top level option)
  - Grammar: 
      SETUP-AGENT
          bash scripts...
	  ...
  - Some of Agents may need to be initialized before testing, you can do it here with bash
    script. The initialization will only be executed once, if you want to reinitialize it,
    you can manually delete the flag file at /tmp/.[AGENT_NAME]_set.

* 'CASE' & 'CASE-BLOCK' (top level option)
  - Grammar: CASE "description" & CASE-BLOCK macro_name
  - Usually, the conditions you designed are more than one and a few 'CASE "..."' will 
    appear in configuration file. It is worth noting that the following sub-options 
    have 2 spellings:
    One is general, where shell affects the local environment; the other is special, 
    where each options added "@ipaddr". It can remotely execute shell codes. In other words,
    it is to execute the shell codes from a remote host, which is meaningful when a resource
    agent needs 2 hosts. This remote shell is not a remote execution only through "ssh", but
    running a remote shell in the background while the test case is running. The remote shell
    runs in the background till the end and saves the results during the process. That is to
    say, you can alternatively carry out local and remote shell code segments. 
    The "CASE-BLOCK" option is a macro definer, the statements in "CASE-BLOCK" will be inserted 
    into "CASE" if you "Include" the "macro_name".

    ** 'Var' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: Var VARIABLE=value
      - It is to set up an environment variable of the resource agent. They usually appear to 
        be OCF_RESKEY_xxx. One point is to be noted is there is no blank by both sides of "=".

    ** 'Unvar' (sub-option)
      - Grammer: Unvar VARIABLE [VARIABLE2 [...]]
      - Remove the environment variable.

    ** 'Include' (sub-option)
      - Garmmer: Include macro_name
      - It will be replaced by statements in 'macro_name', of course, you should define the 
        content of 'macro_name' with 'CASE-BLOCK' first.

    ** 'Bash' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: Bash bash_codes
      - This option is to set up the environment of OS, where you can insert BASH code to 
        customize the system randomly. Note, do not cause unrecoverable consequences to the 
        system.

    ** 'BashAtExit' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: BashAtExit bash_codes
      - This option is to recover the OS environment in order to run another test case 
        correctly. Of cause you can use 'Bash' option to recover it. However, if mistakes occur 
        in the process, the script will quit directly instead of running your recovery codes. 
        If it happens, you ought to use BashAtExit which can restore the system environment 
        before you quit.

    ** 'RunAgent' (sub-option)
      - Grammar: RunAgent cmd [ret_value]
      - This option is to run resource agent. "cmd" is the parameter of the resource agent, 
        such as "start, status, stop ...". The second parameter is optional. It will compare the 
        actual returned value with the expected value when the script has run recourse agent. 
        If differs, bugs will be found.
