Hi, Is it possible to perform end-to-end testing like voice calls, sms etc with current osmo-gsm-tester version. I do not see any suites for voice call testing in the suites directory.
Thanks Sudhanthiradasan R

end-to-end sms between MS is already working and a test is being run in osmocom's jenkins instance. See [1] and [2].
A first version of a patch adding support to test SMPP (ESME->SMSC->MS) has been submited and waiting for review.
Voice is not there yet but it's definetly in the roadmap and we plan to start working on it soon, probably we will have something there over next weeks.

Hi Pau Espin Pedrol,
Thanks for your quick reply.
1)Just for the confirmation.. for the end-to-end testing with the current version of osmo-gsm-tester we can use only the sms suite?
2)In the suites directory, I can see aoip_debug, aoip_sms, debug, netreg, sms suites. What are all the tests that I can do with these suits? Is there any documentation?
3)If we want to create new suites, is there any document to help us?
Thanks, Sudhanthiradasan R

but using the AoverIP version of OpenBSC which will soon deprecate current OsmoNITB platform.

You can find the latest manual with general documentation in [1].
Feel free to ask if something is not clear or missing. If you want to improve it, the sources of the manual can be found in [2], patches welcome.
* debug: A few minimal tests used during development of osmo-gsm-tester. You may find interesting the "interactive.py" one, which let's you start a test and set-up all the network + modems, then wait in a cmdline prompt waiting for you so you can debug whatever is going on.
* aoip_debug: Same as debug, but using AoIP
* netreg: A pair of minimal tests which check that the modems (ofono_client.py) can automatically/manually register with the network. It's a subset of what sms.py test is doing, but it's nice to have when willing to specifically test the register part.
* sms: Starts the network, starts and registers 2 ofono modems (MS), sends an SMS from one MS to the other and then check's the sms arrived correctly and that the content is correct.
* aoip_sms: Same as sms, but using AoIP.
3)If we want to create new suites, is there any document to help us?
You can have an idea of the current roadmap but checking at the tasks listed in the issue tracker of the project [3]. If you have any specific interest feel free to add tickets there (check similar ones don't exist before doing so). Incoming patches are welcome too.
To know how to write new tests, the best is to check existing tests (sms.py), and you can find the API exported and available for tests in [4]. We extend the API when we implement new features which we see are required for new tests.

We don't have specific documentation for the different suites yet. They aren't structured as clearly as I would like, either, given the still early stage of what osmo-gsm-tester is capable of. The 'sms' and 'aoip_sms' can be considered the production parts tested in our jenkins http://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/view/osmo-gsm-tester/job/osmo-gsm-tester_... where the others are more for our own manual testing and debugging.
Also as Pau pointed out the roadmap is to drop the 'sms' suite completely, since that is using the OsmoNITB, which will "soon" be discontinued for the benefit of a separate OsmoBSC and OsmoMSC.
3)If we want to create new suites, is there any document to help us?
If you create new tests and suites, we would appreciate if you share your efforts with the community: i.e. instead of creating your separate private project containing test suites, rather submit them back to us with the goal of having a complete collection of test suites upstream at git.osmocom.org. There are two points to this: one of course is that we are spending a rather large amount of effort to make this infrastructure available for free, for which we still need to get support and funding. The other point is that any tests we incorporate in our upstream codebase will be maintained by the community and will be considered in new developments, without you having to catch up with us constantly. If you are willing to provide funding to help us push things forward, that is very welcome. But just as welcome is your support in the form of sharing your own test suites and other patches with us.
Same goes for the documentation: the manual can certainly use more/better content, which may also be contributed by anyone.
In turn feel free to also share your questions regarding the tester and Osmocom in general, and we will help you find answers to the best of our abilities. Professional support is also available, e.g. from my employer sysmocom.
Check out the OsmoGSMTester manual, part of the osmo-gsm-manuals: http://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Osmocom_Manuals
Also be aware of numerous issues still open in our tracker, many of which ask for clarification of the structures and extending the features of the tester: http://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-gsm-tester/issues You are welcome to help out with those and/or let us know which of those are of interest to you and/or create new issues.
Any feedback from you in form of patches is highly welcome, using our Gerrit patch management; for instructions, see: http://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Gerrit
Thank you for your interest, and hoping that you will join the Osmocom community!
