##1. Get Started LLFI Test Suite is a regression test suite designed to test the integrity of LLFI. It checks functions of LLFI including: Custom Hardware Fault Injections, Software Failure Injections, Trace Propagation Analysis Tools, etc. New test cases and new programs should be incorporated in future along the development of LLFI. And regression test should be done whenever the source code is changed to make sure original functions are not corrupted.

Current LLFI test suite tests only the command line interface of LLFI. The GUI of LLFI is not included in this suite.

The test suite of LLFI is placed at <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/.

###Fault Injection Test on One Test Case: ####First is a sample example of using the test suite to test a hardware fault injection test case: insttype. Run following commands in your terminal (assume python3 has been installed):

  1. Build test programs:
python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/build_prog.py

This will build LLVM IR code for all the test programs under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/PROGRAMS/.

  1. Deploy testing programs:
python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/deploy_prog.py insttype

This command will copy the test programs' IR code for test case: insttype into injection test directories: <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/HardwareFaults/insttype.

  1. Start Fault Injection and wait until it finishes (may need 1 minute):
python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/inject_prog.py 1 insttype

This command start an fault injection test on test case insttype, under the following directory: <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/HardwareFaults/insttype/, with one thread. This command will initiate LLFI command: instrument, profile and injectfault to inject faults into the program which has been copied to the directory of insttype, with an input.yaml comes along with insttype.

You may encounter errors in the fault injection executable during this stage. These failures are due to the injection itself. Whether the injection is done correctly or not is determined in the next stage.

  1. Check whether the injection is done correctly:
python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/check_injection.py insttype

This command check whether a fault injection experiment is done successfully at <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/HardwareFaults/insttype. It checks llfi/ folder, llfi/llfi_stat_output/ folder, llfi/baseline/ folder, llfi/prog_output/ folder, llfi/std_output/ folder and llfi statistic files under llfi/llfi_stat_output/ directory.

  1. If everything runs correctly, you should see following words in your terminal:
=============== Result ===============
./HardwareFaults/insttype 		 PASS

This means the test case: insttype has been tested and passed the test. If any of the llfi/ folder, llfi/llfi_stat_output/ folder, llfi/baseline/ folder, llfi/prog_output/ folder, llfi/std_output/ folder and llfi statistic files are missing, the check will fail, and the missing content will be shown in this result table.

####To Run Other Test Cases: You can check the NAMES of the folders under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/HardwareFaults, <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SoftwareFaults and <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/BatchMode. These are also the names of fault injection test cases.

By specifying the names of the test cases at the end of commands in step 2)~5), you can select the fault injection test cases to run.

For example, to run test cases: llfiindex (Hardware Fault), funcname (Hardware Fault), BufferOverflow_API (Software Fault), and WrongPointer_Data (Software Fault), run following commands in your terminal:

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/build_prog.py

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/deploy_prog.py llfiindex funcname BufferOverflow_API WrongPointer_Data

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/inject_prog.py 1 llfiindex funcname BufferOverflow_API WrongPointer_Data

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/check_injection.py llfiindex funcname BufferOverflow_API WrongPointer_Data

Note when multiple test cases are selected to be tested, you can assign more than one thread on running the test cases. For example, in the third command, you may use four threads instead of one thread to run the cases in parallel. This may save time cost of running these test cases:

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/inject_prog.py 4 llfiindex funcname BufferOverflow_API WrongPointer_Data

If everything is fine, you should see following words in your terminal:

=============== Result ===============
./SoftwareFaults/BufferOverflow_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongPointer_Data 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/funcname 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/llfiindex 		 PASS

###Run All The Fault Injection Tests: To run all the fault injection tests together, simply append no name of any test cases in the commands above, the suite will test all the injection test cases. For example, run following commands one by one. Note this may take several hours:

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/build_prog.py

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/deploy_prog.py

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/inject_prog.py 1

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/check_injection.py

If everything works fine, you should see a table similar to:

=============== Result ===============
./HardwareFaults/random 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/StalePointer_Res 		 PASS
./BatchMode/SoftwareFailureAutoScan 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/InvalidPointer_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/CPUHog_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongSavedFormat_IO 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/MemoryLeak_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoOpen_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/RaceCondition_Timing 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoAck_MPI 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/InappropriateClose_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongRetrievedAddress_IO 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/BufferOverflowMalloc_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongSource_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/IncorrectOutput_API 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/insttype 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/ThreadKiller_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/LowMemory_Res 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/funcname 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/Deadlock_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoOutput_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/InvalidMessage_MPI 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/llfiindex 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/BufferOverflowMemmove_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/InvalidSender_MPI 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongMode_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/BufferUnderflow_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/BufferOverflow_API 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/multiplebits 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoMessage_MPI 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/MemoryExhaustion_Res 		 PASS
./BatchMode/NoOpen_API_WrongMode_API_BufferUnderflow_API 		 PASS
./HardwareFaults/tracing 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/UnderAccumulator_Res 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongDestination_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongSavedAddress_IO 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongAPI_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/PacketStorm_MPI 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoClose_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongPointer_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/IncorrectOutput_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoOutput_API 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/HighFrequentEvent_Timing 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/WrongRetrievedFormat_IO 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/DataCorruption_Data 		 PASS
./SoftwareFaults/NoDrain_MPI 		 PASS

This result table also listed all the injection test cases included in this test suite. All the injection test cases are grouped into three categories: HardwareFaults, SoftwareFaults and BatchMode and placed under three directories respectively. HardwareFaults/ contains several custom fault injection configurations to simulate hardware faults. SoftwareFaults/ contains tests for all the software failures supported by LLFI. BatchMode/ contains tests for batch mode LLFI commands, which is designed to simulate a list of software failures one by one. All of these three folders are placed under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/.

###Test Trace Propagation Analysis Tools: Trace propagation analysis tools are placed under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/tools/. These tools depend on the tracing information generated during fault injections, so we provide already-generated LLFI injection files to test these tools.

To test tools using test suite, run following commands in your terminal:

python3 <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS/test_trace_tools.py

This command will test tracediff, traceunion, traceontograph and tracetodot command one by one. The test will fail if any of the commands exits abnormally and any intermediate files are not generated successfully. For details of trace analysis tools, please refer to Generate analyse traces

If everything works fine, you should see:

=============== Result ===============
./Traces/BufferOverflow_API 		 PASS
./Traces/BufferOverflowMemmove_Data 		 PASS
./Traces/factorial 		 PASS

##2. Suite Structure The logical structure, or say dependency, of the test suite is defined in a yaml file under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite: test_suite.yaml.

This yaml file declares which program is used for which test cases, what files should be copied for each test program, what input arguments should be append for running a program, how to categorize injection test cases, and what files are required for trace analysis tools.

All the scripts of the test suite (placed under <LLFI_DST_ROOT>/test_suite/SCRIPTS refer to test_suite.yaml to drive the tests.

Here is a simplified test_suite.yaml, with descriptions in comments:
