Introduction

This page outlines the tests we do or should run on Windows.

Windows-specific components

OpenVPN-GUI

​OpenVPN-GUI communicates with OpenVPN using the management interface, as do all the more recent GUIs. Thus management interface tests (below) help verify correct operation of OpenVPN-GUI.

All the basic functions of OpenVPN-GUI should be tested, but how would these tests be automated? Would it require an automation API in OpenVPN-GUI itself?

Openvpnserv2

All the basic functionality of ​openvpnserv2 should be tested.

• Ensuring that the service can be enabled / disabled / started / stopped on all platforms
• Restarting a connection that goes down
• Proper behavior with broken configuration files
  • What is "proper behavior" needs to be discussed

Windows-specific command-line tools

netsh

Ensure that the netsh calls that OpenVPN makes have the desired effect.

Windows-specific options

Ensure that various Windows-specific options behave as excepted

ip-win32

TODO

Management interface

Ensure that management interface commands work as expected, with particular focus on the commands and sequences that a GUI typically uses. These tests should automated immediately. Questions:

• How do we automate the tests?
• What are the commands and sequences we should test?

Basic connectivity testing

Extend t_client.sh tests to Windows also.

Infrastructure needed for the tests
