Kernel test suites/scripts/etc

[Deepak Saxena]

Hi,

I had a really good meeting with Paul Larson this week to discuss
the automated test framework that Linaro is developing and wanted
to follow up with the team on brainstorming around what we want
to be running on a regular basis to test the kernels. The current testing
includes:

"x11perf",
 "gtkperf",
 "glmemperf",
"posixtestsuite",
 "gmpbench",
 "pybench",
 "stream"

I think the obvious missing one is LTP which Shawn is working on
getting up and running on ARM for the 11.11 cycle. Arnd's flash
testing tool might also be a good fit, but I am not sure of the side
effects it might have to the underlying device after extended use.

I also think that adding board specific tests such as "run i2cdetect
and validate that we see all the devices we expect" is something
useful to do in the long-term to validate that driver changes, DT
updates, etc do not break support for a given board.

I'm interested in hearing ideas that others have on what kinds of
tests we should be running.

Thanks,
