This repository contains an automated runner for a Tribler application tester

Tribler application tester

This repository hosts code for the Tribler application tester, which aims to automatically test Tribler using code injection. To run the Tribler application tester, it requires a path to the Tribler executable, for example:

python3 main.py -p "bash /my/path/to/tribler/tribler/src/tribler.sh"

Upon start, the application tester will automatically verify whether Tribler has been started correctly and then open a TCP connection to the code injection port. After that, it will send random actions to the Tribler GUI, which are specified in the data/action_weights.txt file. Each action contains a weight, indicating the probability that it is selected as next action by the application tester.

You can specify how long Tribler should be tested by specifying a -d (duration) flag, e.g. to run the application tester for two minutes:

python3 main.py -p "bash /my/path/to/tribler/tribler/src/tribler.sh" -d 120

To disable all actions and run Tribler idle, specify the -s (silent) flag:

python3 main.py -p "bash /my/path/to/tribler/tribler/src/tribler.sh" -s

Furthermore, there are several flags to increase resource monitoring. See the output of python3 main.py -h for more details.
