intel/fMBT

The fMBT (free Model-Based Testing) tool automatically generates and
executes tests. It is suitable for testing anything from individual
C++ classes to GUI applications and distributed systems containing a
range of different devices. fMBT provides a model editor, test
generator, adapters for various purposes and tools for analysing logs.


Building & installing
---------------------

Quick start for Docker users:

    Build an image including commandline and GUI utilities:

    docker build . -t fmbt-gui:latest -f Dockerfile.fmbt-gui

    See Dockerfile.fmbt-gui on running fmbt3-editor from the image.

Quick start for Debian 11 / Ubuntu 22.04 and later users:

    ### Note: use fmbt3-editor instead of fmbt-editor.
    sudo apt install -y autoconf automake build-essential debhelper flex gawk git-core gnuplot graphviz imagemagick libboost-dev libboost-regex-dev libedit-dev libglib2.0-dev libmagickcore-dev libpng16-16 libtool libxml2-dev python2 python2-dev python3-pexpect python3-distutils python3-pyside2.qtcore python3-pyside2.qtgui python3-pyside2.qtwidgets tesseract-ocr
    ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j 4 && sudo make install
    cd utils3 && sudo make install

Quick start for Debian 10 / Ubuntu 20.04 users:

    ### Note: use fmbt3-editor instead of fmbt-editor.
    sudo apt install -y autoconf automake build-essential debhelper flex gawk git-core gnuplot graphviz imagemagick libboost-dev libboost-regex-dev libedit-dev libglib2.0-dev libmagickcore-dev libpng16-16 libtool libxml2-dev python python-dbus python-dev python3-pexpect python3-distutils python3-pyside2.qtcore python3-pyside2.qtgui python3-pyside2.qtwidgets tesseract-ocr
    ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j 4 && sudo make install
    cd utils3 && sudo python3 setup.py install

Quick start for Debian 9 / Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier users:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential libglib2.0-dev libboost-regex-dev libedit-dev libmagickcore-dev python-dev python-pexpect python-dbus python-gobject gawk libtool autoconf automake debhelper libboost-dev flex libpng16-16 libxml2-dev graphviz imagemagick gnuplot python-pyside tesseract-ocr

Quick start for Fedora users:

    yum install  glibc-devel glib2-devel boost-devel libedit-devel gcc-c++ pexpect dbus-python libtool dh-autoreconf flex libpng12 libxml2-devel graphviz ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel gnuplot python-devel python-pyside tesseract

Quick start for Arch users (assuming base and base-devel to be installed):

    pacman -S libedit imagemagick libxml2 boost python2 python gnuplot graphviz gts leptonica tesseract tesseract-data python-pexpect python-dbus boost libtool flex imagemagick python2-pexpect python2-pyside python-pyside-common python2-shiboken

    You will also need X (xorg-server) in order to use fmbt-editor and
    fmbt-scripter.

./autogen.sh # run only if you cloned sources from git
./configure  # add parameter PYTHON=python2 when building on Arch Linux
make
sudo make install

Known issue with Fedora and Arch Linux: By default "make install"
installs Python libraries into directories that are not in the default
PYTHONPATH. Add them to the path:
    export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages

Windows users:

See README-windows.txt for building fMBT for Windows.


Binary downloads
----------------

See artifacts built in gitlab CI/CD pipelines.

Getting started
---------------

1. Create a model and a test configuration:

   fmbt-editor helloworld.aal helloworld.conf

2. Run the first test:

   fmbt -l first.log helloworld.conf

3. See what it executed:

   fmbt-log first.log
