University of Waterloo and their work on statistical performance testing

by Jon "maddog" Hall

I went to the Ottawa Linux Symposium and heard several good talks on testing and performance. One of the outstanding ones (to me) was the University of Waterloo and their testing apparatus and harness for doing testing for performance and the application of statistical analysis to the testing, as a one-time test may not show the true results. They have a mechanism, and a lab, that allows people to build code for testing, run the tests with supplied data, and then statistically analyse the data to see. It has a front end that allows you to supply the information necessary to build your project, then distributes it to a number of different machines to run for a selected number of times. Even though you may be running the same data through, they can show that various other factors will vary performance as much as 15% on a given run of the test data. The project URL is here: https://uwaterloo.ca/embedded-software-group/datamill I asked them for a copy of their slides, which I have uploaded to a Google Drive and will make a link available to anyone who wishes to see them. My thoughts on this are that Linaro might want to study what they have done and build this type of analysis into Lava, or perhaps the University of Waterloo would like to incorporate parts of Lava into their back end, or the two groups could work together. I have sent them pointers to Lava web pages from the Linaro site. At a minimum, we might find that making machines attached to a Lava instance available to the University's DataMill program (perhaps through a gateway) would increase the amount of visibility and testing available to Linaro's customer systems. Warmest regard, maddog

Interrupting the boot prompt in LAVA

by Dean Arnold

Hi All, I was wondering if you could help me please? I have been trying to add a new fastmodel variation to LAVA but I am seeing issues when attempting to interrupt the boot prompt. LAVA seems to be expecting to see the "linaro-test" prompt rather than "The default boot selection will start in" which is what I have set for the interrupt_boot_prompt variable. As a result of this UEFI attempts to boot the default selection and my jobs fail, as the defaults aren't valid. I suspect I have misconfigured my new device, so I just wanted to check that, other than setting the interrupt_boot_prompt variable to something sensible in my device config, is there anything else I need to set to force LAVA to interrupt the boot prompt? I have attached the log from my job along with my config files in case I have done something wrong when adding the device.

git clone error in test definition install section

by Senthil Kumaran

Hi Amit, The problem you see in this job https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/159278/log_file#L_251_0 which fails to clone the git repository is due to an error in your test definition. 'git-repos' in the 'install' section of a test definition does not take parameters ie., things like the destination folder. It just takes the git repository URL. Alternatively if you want to pass various options to git, then make use of the 'steps' in 'install' section where you define everything explicitly. I re-worked on this test definition with the above in mind - https://git.linaro.org/people/senthil.kumaran/test-definitions.git/blob/cac… It works fine on my local dev environment. I just triggered a job to showcase this - https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/159707 You can see it in action when the job completes. HTH. Thank You. -- Senthil Kumaran http://www.stylesen.org/ http://www.sasenthilkumaran.com/
