This allows to (relatively) quickly (re-)build and install the current or an arbitrary strongSwan source tree within the root image. bindfs is used to bind mount the source directory using the regular user and group (only works if sudo is used to run the script) so that newly created files are not owned by root. As with building the root image in general the guests must not be running while executing this script. The guest images are automatically rebuilt after the root image has been updated so configuration files and other modifications in guests will be lost.

4. Manual testing
1. Building the testing environment
--------------------------------
The testing environment can be built with the "make-testing" script after
adjusting the variables in the testing.conf file. By default everything is
built when executing the script. Setting any of the ENABLE_BUILD_* variables
in the configuration file to "no" will not build those parts.
2. Starting up the testing environment
-----------------------------------
When the strongSwan testing environment has been put into place by running
the "make-testing" script you are ready to start up the KVM instances by
executing the "start-testing" script.
3. Running the automated tests
---------------------------
The script
./do-tests <testnames>
runs the automated tests. If the <testnames> argument is omitted all tests
are executed, otherwise only the tests listed will be run as shown in the
example below:
./do-tests ikev2/net2net-psk ikev2/net2net-cert
Each test is divided into the following phases:
* Load the test-specific guest configuration if any is provided.
* Next the "pretest.dat" script found in each test directory is executed.
Among other commands, strongSwan is started on the IPsec hosts.
* The "evaltest.dat" script evaluates if the test has been successful.
* The "posttest.dat" script terminates the test e.g. by stopping
strongSwan on the IPsec hosts. It is also responsible to cleaning up
things (e.g. firewall rules) set up in "pretest.dat".
* Restore the default configuration on every host (new files have to be
deleted manually in "posttest.dat").
The test results and configuration files for all tests are stored in a
folder labeled with the current date and time in the $TESTRESULTSDIR directory.
The same results are also automatically transferred to the Apache server
running on guest "winnetou" and can be accessed via the URL
http://192.168.0.150/testresults/
4. Manual testing
--------------
Instead of running tests automatically with "do-tests" it is possible to
preload a test scenario with the script:
scripts/load-testconfig <testname>
Individual configuration files can be changed and any command can be executed by
logging into a guest host directly (via SSH or a console window). No password
is required to login as root. The sources for every software built during
"make-testing" are mounted at /root/shared/, which allows you to change and
recompile these components.
After you have finished testing, the default configuration can be restored
with the following command (newly created files have to be deleted manually)
scripts/restore-defaults
