As a part of Google Summer of Code 2012, I worked on Improved Performance Regression Monitoring for DrizzleDB.. At the bottom, its a Quality Assurance and Automated Testing project.. Drizzle already has *Drizzle Automation* which deals with automating QA processes, code coverage analysis and benchmarking.. However due to the following issues, its not preferred much..
1. Its not in-tree
2. Its more complex
3. Its less user friendly
In order to nullify this, the kewpie tests came into effect. Kewpie is a test-runner for MySQL based databases. Its cleaner, simpler and very much effective. Moreover, its included in-tree.. The project’s intent is to import sysbench tests from drizzle automation to kewpie. SysBench is a benchmark tool. It has benchmarks for various system parameters, which includes an oltp benchmark ( for testing database servers ). Following are the enhancements made into the Drizzle Trunk :
1. Added options for kewpie:
Options for dsn-string and mailing test reports have been included. The dsn-string specified via the –results-db-dsn option is used for connecting with a database. And if the user needs to send the report of a test to a mail id, it can be done easily be specifying the mail id with the –email-report-tgt option. You can have a deeper look over here.
2. Imported sysbench tests:
There are two variants of sysbench tests. One is a *readonly* test which shoots the database with SELECT queries and the other is *readwrite* test which includes INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and DROP queries too.. These tests are imported to kewpie in an ingenious way.. Instead of having the entire test code in each test case, there is a base class *sysbenchTestCase.py* in /tests/lib/util. Both the test cases, readonly and readwrite ( /tests/qp_tests/sysbench ), inherits this base class. Further, these test cases have only the configuration options in them, which is unique for both.. Peep here for more details.
3. Improved documetation:
Documentations for kewpie and sysbench were modified, and documentation for drizzletest commands was included. The latter one is not yet complete, however the api calls can be glanced at, in the documentation.. More information on each will be documented very soon..
