Introduction

CDRouter is a comprehensive test tool for Cable/DSL/SOHO/Edge and wireless routers and other similar IP devices. The test suite contains several types of tests including functional, conformance, negative, denial of service, and scaling. CDRouter test suite simulates a networking environment by creating LAN clients, providing an ISP connection to the device under test, and exercising different protocol and traffic flows. CDRouter can create IP hosts and services that appear to be operating out in the Internet.

Previously, we utilized the CDRouter UI to trigger CDRouter test executions and review CDRouter execution results. However, after the integration of CDRouter into Automatics, we now have the capability to execute all 1.0 ,3.0 test cases and CDRouter test cases exclusively through Automatics.

<Work In Progress>

Following diagram shows interaction of Orchestration tool with CD Router Automation Engine via CD Router Service.

Advantage: No Jenkins resources are needed for triggering test execution.

CDRouter Rest APIs 

Execution side

APIs available

1. To trigger an execution job in CDRouter, we can use webAPI mentioned in below link.  

           Inputs to be passed are package name, device config and test config

               On success, it will return 200 response code and status of execution will be Pending initially.

1. • https://support.qacafe.com/cdrouter/cdrouter-web-api/jobs#launch-a-job
2. To get the status of job, we can use the below rest endpoint

             We can think of background thread checking for updates of running jobs from cdrouter.

              https://support.qacafe.com/cdrouter/cdrouter-web-api/jobs#get-a-job

      3. To get execution result of job, we can use webAPI mentioned in below link. The input to the rest api result id and in output we overall status count of all test cases.

     "loops": 5, "tests": 2552, "pass": 0, "fail": 1150

• • https://support.qacafe.com/cdrouter/cdrouter-web-api/results#get-a-result

APIs required

1. Requires an endpoint to get details of test cases/test names configured in a pacakage
2. Requires an endpoint to get result status and logs separate for each test case in a package

Test Configuration side

APIs available

1. To get the list of packages configured in CDRouter,  we can use webAPI mentioned in below link

https://support.qacafe.com/cdrouter/cdrouter-web-api/packages#list-packages

       2. To get the list of test scripts/test names in a package,  we can use webAPI mentioned in below link
