+# Alumet integration tests <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+This folder contains all script files and scenarios for testing alumet on bare metal.
+
+The scenarios ( a test suite) are located in scenarios folder. Robot framework is used to perform automatically the tests. Each suite test is a set of tests.
+The test strategy is to write one robot framework file (a test suite) per alumet plugin.
+Each test is tag allowing to exclude tests to during the execution with robot framework.
+
+Before executing the tests, you need to install robot framework.
+After you need to initialize the robot framework environment:
+
+```bash
+ source ~/venv-robot/bin/activate
+(venv-robot) [zychlae@carbon0 integration_tests]$
+```
+
+A script run.sh allows to execute the robot framework tests on a target node.
+
+Then you can execute your test:
+
+```bash

+Plugin-Rapl :: Alumet test plugin rapl

+The robot framework generates a report and log file in html format.

+The test strategy is to write one robot framework file (a test suite) per alumet plugin and/or per features.
+
+The current version contains the following robot framework files:
+- installation.robot: for testing installation of alumet (uninstallation is tested using the Suite Teardown)
+- plugin-perf.robot: for testing perf plugin
+- plugin-rapl.robot: for testing rapl plugin.
+
+The __init__.robot file contains the Suite Setup (Install Alumet) and Teardown (UnInstall Alumet). When this file is present,  robot framework executes at the beginning of the tests the keyword _Install Alumet_ and at the end of test execution the keyword _UnInstall alumet_

 Each test can have one or several tags allowing to exclude tests to during the execution with robot framework.
 
 Before executing the tests, you need to install robot framework.
