The RQG is used to test various Optimizer features. See the Optimizer Quality article for more information.

Aria Engine Recovery

The page contains a plan on how to test it.

Upgrade and Installer Testing

• Upgrades using .deb and RPM packages are tested using very simple tests in BuildBot by the various bld_kvm* builders.

TODO:

• More complex tests around .deb, RPM and tarballs;

• Decide on specific upgrade/downgrade paths (e.g. MySQL 5.5 to MariaDB 2.2?) and methods (mysqldump, mysql_upgrade) that we support and test each individually;

• Test the Windows installer and service NSIS allows for scripted unattended installs by providing an /SD argument to functions such as MessageBox.

Linking Testing

The purpose of those tests is to check that various applications that uselibmysql can be compiled, linked and run with MariaDB. They are run by thecompile-connectors builder in BuildBot

• Perl DBD::mysql

  • We configure and compile the Perl DBI MySQL driver. Then we run the test suite provided with it.

• PHP

  • We configure and compile both the mysql

TODO:

• Perl and PHP with the embedded library

Connectors Testing

The purpose of those tests is to check that the libraries that implement the MySQL protocol can work with MariaDB.

• The libmysql library/connector is tested both by the MTR test suite (since mysqltest links with it)

TODO:

• PHP with the mysql-nd driver

• Connector C++

• JDBC

Replication Testing
