hcpdesktop(1Mcert)

hcpdesktop -- HCP desktop tests

Description

The hcpdesktop test and certification suites are run after the SVR5 loadtests(1Mcert) or hcptest(1Mcert) have run successfully, to ensure that the graphics and networking subsystems behave properly on the system being tested.

Usage

Before beginning the hcpdesktop(ES) test make sure that the
the following components are properly installed and are
functional:

1. Video subsystem and monitor
2. A pointing device
3. A Network Interface Card (NIC)
4. The TCP/IP protocol stack

You are now ready to proceed to the "Desktop Test Recipe"
section. Note that there are separate sections for
Openserver and UnixWare.

DESKTOP TEST RECIPE - for OpenServer 5 and OpenServer 3
These recipes are intended to assure a base level of
graphics and networking functionality by exercising
multiscreen(M), X11, and X(X), functionality and creating
network traffic. A graphics display program, ico(X), is
used to verify proper graphics behavior.

Local Testing
1. Boot the system to the multi-user state. On
multiscreen one (MS1), log in as root and create the
user "hcpuser". The default settings are sufficient
for this test. Exit the root logon session. Log in as
hcpuser to test the new logon. Leave hcpuser logged in
on MS1.

2. Switch to multiscreen two (MS2), the default screen for
scologin(X). Again, log in as hcpuser. The X desktop
will display after a few moments. Confirm that the
video subsystem, monitor, and mouse are all interacting
properly with the X server by visually inspecting the
screen for obvious problems (such as multiple images,
etc) and by confirming that the mouse is active and
behaving correctly.

3. Start a scoterm(X) session by double-clicking the left
button on the "UNIX" icon.

4. From the scoterm(X) session enter:

ico -faces &

Position the new window in the upper left-section of
the screen.

5. Select the window displaying the scoterm(X) session and
enter:
ico -faces &
Position the new window in the upper right-hand section
of your display. Verify proper behavior while both
ico(X) sessions are running.

6. Allow both ico(X) sessions to continue executing.
Switch to MS1. Enter the command:
/usr/hcptest/bin/cattermcap
The contents of /etc/termcap will be displayed on the
screen.

7. While /etc/termcap is scrolling on the screen, switch
back to MS2. Confirm that the ico(X) sessions are
displayed correctly.

8. Switch back to MS1. Confirm that the /etc/termcap
contents are still being scrolled to the screen. If
the text is scrambled upon redisplay of MS1 then an
error condition has been discovered.

9. To end these tests press <Del> while in MS1, terminate
the ico(X) sessions in MS2, and terminate the window in
which termcap(S) is scrolling.

Remote Testing
This recipe requires that two systems are configured and
operational on a network. In this recipe they will be
called "sys1" and "sys2".

1. On sys2, login(M) as hcpuser on MS2.

2. In MS2 on sys2, enter the following command from a
scoterm(X) session:
xhost +sys1

3. On sys1, login(M) as hcpuser on MS2.

4. In MS2 on sys1, start a scoterm(X) session and
rlogin(C) into sys2 by entering:
rlogin sys2

5. Start an ico(X) process on sys2 with process output
being displayed on sys1 by entering:
ico -display sys1:0 -faces &

6. The remotely executed ico(X) client should now be
displayed on the sys1 X(X) session just as it was in
the Local Testing recipe.

bulletin and submit to your SCO representative.

DESKTOP TEST RECIPE - for UnixWare
These recipes are intended to assure a base level of
graphics and networking functionality by exercising virtual
terminal, X11, and X(X), functionality and creating network
traffic. A graphics display program, ico(X), is used to
verify proper graphics behavior.

Local Testing
1. Boot the system to the multi-user state. On the
Graphical Screen ("GS"), log into the system
administrator account and create the user "hcpuser".
The default settings are sufficient for this test. Log
out and relog in as hcpuser to test the new login
account.

2. Switch to the console screen ("CS") by typing the
Alt+SysRq key sequence followed by the "h" key. Again,
log in as hcpuser. When prompted for "Display Desktop
(y/n)?", type "n" to remain in character mode. Switch
back to GS by typing the Alt+SysRq key sequence
followed by the "n" key. Confirm that the video
subsystem, monitor, and mouse are all interacting
properly with the X server by visually inspecting the
screen for obvious problems (such as multiple images,
etc) and by confirming that the mouse is active and
behaving correctly.

3. Start an xterm(X) session by double-clicking the left
button on the "Applications" icon, followed by double-
clicking the "Terminal" icon.

4. From the xterm(X) session enter:
ico -faces &
Position the new window in the upper left-section of
the screen.

5. Select the window displaying the xterm(X) session and
enter:
ico -faces &
Position the new window in the upper right-hand section
of your display. Verify proper behavior while both
ico(X) sessions are running.

6. Allow both ico(X) sessions to continue executing.
Switch to CS. Enter the command:
/usr/hcptest/bin/cattermcap
The contents of /etc/termcap will be displayed on the
screen.

7. While /etc/termcap is scrolling on the screen, switch
back to GS. Confirm that the ico(X) sessions are
displayed correctly.

8. Switch back to CS. Confirm that the /etc/termcap
contents are still being scrolled to the screen. If
the text is scrambled upon redisplay of CS, then an
error condition has been discovered.

9. To end these tests press <Del> while in CS, terminate
the ico(X) sessions in GS, and terminate the window in
which termcap(S) is scrolling.

Remote Testing
This recipe requires that two systems are configured and
operational on a network. In this recipe they will be
called "sys1" and "sys2".

1. On sys2, login(M) as hcpuser on GS.

2. In GS on sys2, enter the following command from a
xterm(X) session:
xhost +sys1

3. On sys1, login(M) as hcpuser on GS.

4. In GS on sys1, start a xterm(X) session and rlogin(C)
into sys2 by entering:
rlogin sys2

5. Start an ico(X) process on sys2 with process output
being displayed on sys1 by entering:
ico -display sys1:0 -faces &

6. The remotely executed ico(X) client should now be
displayed on the sys1 X(X) session just as it was in
the Local Testing recipe.
