Hi,
This is chandru. I have just gone through the web page( http://lava.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) for getting some info about the LAVA framework. And got the following doubts, few of the questions may be very basic please bare with me I am very new to LAVA
- Is it possible to use the LAVA for testing different OS like (QNX ,
custom OS)?
In principle, sure. At a minimum you need a way of pusing a new image onto the device you want to test and a way to run tests...
- What should I do to add support to new OS in LAVA ?
Depends how "unix like" it is I suppose. If it has a root shell that's posix-ish on the serial console, things should work OK...
- Where can i find the information about the LAVA architecture?
http://lava.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ is probably the best starting point. But there is a lot that is not written down anywhere.
- how may days it requires to move to LAVA for testing linux based platfrom?
I don't believe it's possible to answer that question.
- What is the effort to add a support of new OS.
Depends massivly on details.
- Is it possible to use perl/ruby to write a test cases ? (only python is
supported )
Sure, especially if you can use lava-test-shell: http://lava-dispatcher.readthedocs.org/en/latest/lava_test_shell.html
