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.
Most companies have internal test suites to measure performance of peripheral drivers - mmc data throughput, wlan, usb, etc. Do any of the existing suites do this?
Is there interest in generalising these?
