This page describes how to run smoketests that are intended to be run as part of a new release directly after the installation is finished. There are smoketests available for VE and ZW. The smoketests for VE and ZW should not be run simultaneously because some workflows are mapped to the same FSS. First perform and finish all smoketests VE, followed by all smoketests for ZW, or visa  versa.

Before performing a smoketest the "tester" should make a snapshot of the approved runs to be able to approve these workflows again after the smoketest. 

Smoketest VE

The required files are in the folder BatchRunsForSmoketests/nwm_VE_smoketest. Perform the following steps:

1. Make a snapshot of the approved VE runs.
2. Upload via the Configuration Manager link to config manager (CM) the locationSets.xml (see folder nwm_VE_smoketest); this file is located under RegionConfigFiles; Provide a description, that this location set is used for smoketest (see Figure 1); this location set is just a temporary one for the smoketests.
   
   
   Figure 1: Upload via locationSets.xml via Configuration Manager (CM)
   
   
3. Start Client (OC)
4. Open Starten workflow; push button Voorbereide taak uitvoeren...; go to folder nwm_VE_smoketest and select one .xml file starting by number one (see Figure 2).

   After the all runs of the selected batch run are finished (check Systeembeheer->Draaiende taken, see Figure 3)), continue with the next file-number.

5. The batch-runs contain (REF2015/WS2085) the following runs (see Table 1)

   Table 1: Smoketest batch runs for VE

   Name	Description	Expected  run time
   1_NWM_smoketest_VE_Import.xml	All import workflows for all regions	< 1 min
   2_NWM_smoketest_VE_Hydrodynamic_update.xml	The hydrodynamic update runs for RMM (Sobek)	< 1 h
   3_NWM_smoketest_VE_Hydrodynamic.xml	The hydrodynamic forecast runs for Rijn, Maas  ( all WAQUA) and RMM (Sobek) with reduced forecast time	< 2 h
   4_NWM_smoketest_VE_PPHydrodynamic.xml	The processioning runs for the WAQUA calculations of Rijn, Maas	< 5 min
   5_NWM_smoketest_VE_HydraZoet.xml	The HydraZoet runs for IJVD, Rijn, Maas, RMM for a reduced location set (2 locations Rijn, Maas, RMM) and Markermeer and IJsselmeer (all locations) TODO: Extend smoketest to all scenarios	< 15 min
   6_NWM_smoketest_VE_PPHydraZoet.xml	he postprocessing of the HydraZoet runs for a reduced  location set (2 locations Rijn, Maas, RMM)  and Markermeer and IJsselmeer (all locations)	< 5 min

    

6. After finishing the smoketest re-upload via the Configuration Manager (CM) the locationSets.xml, which is provided in the Configuration under RegionConfigFiles; this file contains the full locations set again for further calculation.
   

The generated data have a expiry time of 7 days. If you want to delete them before, perform following steps (see Figure 4):

1. Open in OC Management Modelruns; go to tab Verlooptijdstip voorspelling
2. Mark the model runs which should be deleted, e.g. gebruiker smoketest_batch
3. Push button Verwijderen
4. Approve the runs in the window management modelruns->actuele voorspelling. You can select multiple workflows (SHIFT+mouseclick) and click approve.

In the next rolling barrel run, the model runs will be deleted from database.

Smoketest ZW

The required files are in the folder BatchRunsForSmoketests/nwm_ZW_smoketest. Perform the following steps:

1. Start Client (OC)
2. Make a snapshot of the approved ZW runs.
3. Open Starten workflow; push button Voorbereide taak uitvoeren...; go to folder nwm_ZW_smoketest and select the .xml file there (see Figure 2 above).

The batch-run contains LHM, LSM Light, NDB and LTM Light workflows (see Table 2 below)

Table 2: Available smoketest batch runs for ZW (the release nr "ZW_smoketest_releaseXXXX" indicates which smoketests are required for the active release)

The generated data have a expiry time of 4 days. If you want to delete them before, perform following steps (see Figure 4 above):

1. Open in OC Management Modelruns; go to tab Verlooptijdstip voorspelling
2. Mark the model runs which should be deleted, e.g. omschrijving "ZW smoketest"
3. Push button Verwijderen
4. Approve the runs in the window management modelruns->actuele voorspelling. You can select multiple workflows (SHIFT+mouseclick) and click approve.
