Testing

Goals:

1) Identify and define missing tests
2) Define some level of automation

Requirements:

kexec test - implement a multi-call kexec test to validate kexec doesn't have memory corruption problems: TODO
NEON test methods - develop simple NEON enabled tests to validate compiler generated correct NEON enabled code: TODO
Thumb/ARM tests - develop a find/simple test to validate Thumb/ARM binary: TODO
Security test investigation: TODO
Security test implementation: TODO
DDR Memory tests: TODO
Use test cases available in the kernel source tree like dma_test.c, mmc_test.c, suspend_test.c, usb_test.c, rtc_test.c etc
These test cases may be adjusted a little bit to run automatically in LTP, add consistent return values for pass and fail.
Ask vendors for LTP test suite: TODO
Determine suitability of all these tests for inclusion (and include) into LTP: TODO

Investigate the checkbox test system as a method to implement manual/automated validation on specific platform: TODO
Determine re-use of already developed tests within Canonical's QA: TODO
USB tests: TODO
Keyboard: TODO
Mouse: TODO
Audio: TODO
Display: TODO

Identify steps from current tests that can be automated: TODO
Integrate tests into an automated system (checkbox ?): TODO
Integrate automated tests into a nightly run or a build completion mechanism: TODO
Output results from automated tests into dashboard: TODO

Identify platforms that can be consolidated to a common test location: TODO
Implement a reset mechanism for each identified platform (power cycle or openocd): TODO
Investigate implementation of testing normally manual tests (framebuffer, USB, etc.): TODO
Start consolidation of platforms to common test location: TODO
