This chapter explains how to use the DDTT to test a DASD Device Driver by executing disk/diskette-oriented test scripts.

Overview

DASD functional verification tests exercise the Application Program Interfaces (APIs) - mainly DosDevIOCtl variations - that interface with DASD device drivers. The test environment is defined by the Device Driver Test Tool (DDTT) and each test is written as a DDTT script using Global and DASD grammars. See Device Driver Test Tool (DDTT) for a description of the DDTT. The tests described herein give the user a repeatable set of scripts for verifying disk and diskette functions. They may also be used as examples for creating additional specialized test cases. As the DDTT parses and executes each test script, it simultaneously creates a disk log file that timestamps the activity and logs each script command. If the command initiates an API call, then the result of the command is logged, be it failure with a return code or success with possible returned data. If the script fails to complete, the log, up to the point of failure, is available for diagnosis. These tests can be used to verify correct interaction between the DASD device and the following OS/2 components:

  • DOSDevIOCtl API interface
  • FAT and HPFS file systems
  • OS2DASD.DMD, OS2SCSI.DMD and OS2ASPI.DMD device managers
  • SCSI Adapter device drivers
  • Non-SCSI Adapter device drivers

Installation

This CD-ROM contains the executables, libraries, grammars, and test cases necessary to run DASD test suites.

The following procedure describes installation for running test cases: 1. Copy the component files from the Device Driver Kit for OS/2 CD-ROM to the hard drive. All files should reside in a common directory, such as \TDASDIO. If the target directory is C:\TDASDIO and the E: drive contains the information from the Device Driver Kit for OS/2, then use the following commands to copy the DASD test suite:

[C:\]md tdasdio
[C:\]cd tdasdio
[C:\tdasdio]copy e:\ddk\testcert\storage\function\dasd\*
[C:\tdasdio]copy e:\ddk\testcert\general\ddtt\*

2. Add C:\TDASDIO to the LIBPATH and PATH in the CONFIG.SYS file.

3. Reboot your machine so the new LIBPATH entry takes effect.

The following DDTT files are required for execution of CD-ROM scripts:

  • DDTT.EXE
  • DDTT.DLL
  • GLOBAL.DLL
  • GLOBAL.GRA
  • DDTDASD.DLL
  • DASD.GRA

Test-Case Execution

Test case scripts are driven by the DDTT. The DDTT can be initiated via an OS/2 command line or from a batch file or REXX statement:

  [C:\TDASDIO]DDTT DASDSTD1.SCR

The DDTT creates a Presentation Manager thread window that consists of:

  • a multi-line, scrolled output field for logging script progress
  • a single-line entry field for operator input
  • a single-line text output field for script-initiated prompts and messages

The DDTT DASD tests must be executed on a directly-attached DASD device. These tests will not work when executed against a DASD device accessed by way of a network connection.

CHECKRETURN

Check Return Code Diagnostic Function This function verifies that the return code from a previous function is equal to a given value. The function is used for error testing to verify expected return codes. It is assumed that a previous function has set the DDRC parameter. $RC is set by the script author to the expected value.

Message stating the result of the comparison -- either failure or success.

CHECKVALUE

Check Parameter Value Diagnostic Function This function verifies that a parameter returned by a previous DASD function is equal to a given numeric value. $PARM must be explicitly equated to the parameter being tested and $EXPECT set to the expected value .

Description of Test Cases

Each of the DASD test cases can be executed by invoking the DDTT from either a command line, a batch file, or a REXX file. Test scripts are described below. The user is free to create additional tests or construct multi-threaded test cases after becoming familiar with the DDTT and the DASD grammar files. Test scripts generally start by opening to the physical or logical disk and closing at completion. File operations do not require Open or Close operations as they do this internally. All test scripts log information to a log file of the same file name, but with a file name extension of .LOG. When lock status or device parameters are queried, the data is written to the DDTT's scroll output window and to the log file. Log files can be examined with a text editor after the test case has completed. Disk sectors are addressed by cylinder, head, and sector. The maximum values for these parameters can be found with either GET_LOGICAL_PARAMS or GET_PHYSICAL_PARAMS. DASDSTD1.SCR This script exercises all DASD physical API commands. It should be directed to a fixed disk not currently booted. DASDSTD2.SCR This script exercises all DASD logical API commands. It should be directed to a logical drive on a fixed disk, preferably not the boot partition. DASDERR1.SCR This script exercises the device driver's ability to detect errors related to invalid data and invalid command sequences for a physical disk. It requires a fixed disk target. DASDERR2.SCR This script exercises the device driver's ability to detect errors related to invalid data and invalid command sequences for a logical disk. It requires a fixed disk target. FLOPSTD.SCR This script exercises all DASD logical API commands for a removable media device. It should be directed to a floppy drive. This test script should be copied to the floppy media where it will serve as the test file. FLOPFILE.SCR This script exercises file-oriented API commands for a removable media device. It should be directed to a floppy drive. This test script should be copied to the floppy media where it will serve as the test file. FLOPERR.SCR This script exercises the device driver's ability to detect errors related to invalid handle and device-not-ready conditions. It requires a removable media target drive. FLOPERR2.SCR This script exercises the device driver's ability to detect errors related to invalid data conditions. It requires a removable media target drive. FLOPZIP.SCR This script exercises all DASD logical API commands for a removable media device. It should be directed to drives that use media larger than a standard floppy diskette.

Evaluation of Test Case Results

Standard (non-error) test cases are expected to succeed and there should be no ERROR statements in the logs. However, the Lock command may fail if the system has already locked the logical or physical drive. For this reason, it is suggested that if possible the target drive (logical or physical) be one that is defined but inactive. Error test cases will have many ERROR statements but should have no failure statements. Failure statements indicate that an expected error code was not received. Test case logs need to be examined to verify that data is returned as expected. Not all returned data is automatically checked. Script comments will note what data is expected.
