Description

This issue aims to make a exploratory session of current #9913 phase 1 development.

Verifications should be performed on the following issues to check end to end the process from generation of symbols to core/crash dump analysis with them.

These verifications must be performed by a different collaborator than the originally assigned to the issue, and a full detail of procedures, logs and results must be provided.
Evidence of success must be provided as well.

Goals

For every platform, these goals must be achieved:

• Verify that binary and debug symbols packages are correctly generated by following the current documentation (rpm, deb, pkg or msi)
• Verify that binary & debug symbols packages are automatically uploaded to their designated locations.
• Verify that packages perform a successful installation by following the current documentation.
• Verify that the installed agent/manager instance runs succesfully.
• Verify that a core/crash dump is generated on simulated failure.
• Verify that debug symbols are suitable to debug/analyze the core/crash dumps.
• Verify that the documentation used during all the exploratory is adequate, correct and complete.
• Verify that core/crash dump generation can be enabled and disabled just by following the proper documentation.

Plan:

• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & core dump analysis for Manager (RPM)
• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & core dump analysis for Agent (RPM)
• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & core dump analysis for Manager (DEB)
• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & core dump analysis Agent (DEB)
• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & core dump analysis (macOS)
• Exploratory extensive testing to ensure reliability and performance of debug symbols & crash dump analysis (Windows)

DoD

For every platform (RPM, DEB, Windows & macOS):

• Packages for binaries and debug symbols are generated by following documentation.
• Packages are confirmed to be uploaded to their designated location.
• Installation is tested and validated.
• Installed agent or manager behaves as expected.
• A simulation of failure is performed and as a result a core/crash dump is generated.
• Core/crash dump is successfully analyzed by using the corresponding debug symbols.
• No documentation errors are found of left uncorrected.
• Core/crash dump generation is validated to be enabled or disabled just by following the proper documentation.
• Extensive evidence and documentation of the exploratory is provided

Approval
DRI Name: @ncvicchi
Objective: Generate debug symbols

Windows package creation/uploading process is working. Working with @ncvicchi on some modifications the other workflows need for the debug symbols to be uploaded along with the packages.
