CUPS Software Test Plan
This software test plan provides detailed tests that are used to evaluate the stability and compliance of the Common UNIX Printing System ("CUPS") Version 1.2.
Test Procedure
The test software and data files are located in the
test subdirectory of the source distribution. A script
is provided to compile the ipptest program and run
all of the tests that follow, producing a success/fail
report.
The test target of the top-level makefile can be
used to run this script:
make test
or you can run the test script directly:
cd test ./run-stp-tests
A Software Test Report is stored in a HTML file in the test subdirectory at the conclusion of the test.
IPP Compliance Tests
This section describes the tests used to validate the IPP standards compliance of the CUPS server.
Request Tests
These tests verify that the CUPS scheduler only accepts valid
IPP requests that start with the attributes-charset
and attributes-natural-language attributes and also
contain a printer-uri or job-uri
attribute.
It also verifies that the CUPS scheduler always responds with
attributes-charset and
attributes-natural-language attributes, using
default values if they are not provided by the client.
CUPS Printer Operation Tests
These tests verify that the CUPS printer operations are
supported and function properly. Two printers called
Test1 and Test2 are created, one as a
PostScript printer and one as a raster printer.
Job Operation Tests
These test verify that the CUPS scheduler accepts print jobs
for all supported file formats and that the
cancel-job, hold-job, and
resume-job operations work.
Subscription Operation Tests
These test verify that the CUPS scheduler accepts subscriptions with print jobs and that all subscription operations work as required by the IPP notification and mailto specifications.
Command Tests
This section describes the tests used to validate the Berkeley and System V commands included with CUPS.
lpadmin
This test verifies that printers can be added, modified, and
defaulted using the lpadmin command.
lpc
This test verifies that the lpc command can show
the current status of all print queues.
lpq
This test verifies that the lpq command lists
any jobs in the queue.
lpstat
This test verifies that the lpstat command works
with all reports using the "-t" option.
lp
This test verifies that the lp command works with
both the default destination and a specific destination.
lpr
This test verifies that the lpr command works
with both the default destination and a specific destination.
lprm
This test verifies that the lprm command can
properly cancel a job.
cancel
This test verifies that the cancel command can
properly cancel a job or all jobs.
lpinfo
This test verifies that the lpinfo command
returns a list of available printer drivers and devices.
