Puts each test (named a 'job') into a yaml file

lkp is a command line tool for executing a test

some command line options are:

• lkp install <test_package>
  • ls $LKP_SRC/jobs to see available jobs
• lkp split-job <test_package>
• lkp run
• lkp result <testname>

Here's what a test looks like:

From the file tbench.yaml

suite: tbench
testcase: tbench
category: benchmark

# upto 40% CPU cycles may be used by latency stats
disable_latency_stats: 1

nr_threads: 100%

cluster: cs-localhost

if role server:
  tbench-server:

if role client:
  tbench:

Avacado [edit section]

• https://avocado-framework.github.io/ - main site
• Presentation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdEg07BfdBw
  • every job has a sha1
  • every job can output in multiple formats
    • including standalone HTML output
    • also xunit, others
  • is basically a test runner, with an API
    • simple test has pass or fail (0 or 1 result)
    • more complicated test can use testing API
      • can add a monitor (like perf)
  • has a test multiplexer (YAML-based) to create test matrix
  • full persistence of every test executed
  • very easy configuration of programs to run and files to save (eg. from /proc) for every test executed.
  • demo was in python (is API only in python?)
  • creates something similar to a shell script.
    • you can run it individually from the build directory using 'check'
  • big question about test naming (as of presentation, avocado names tests by number)
  • can run a test on a remote system
  • has plugins for different features and functionality of the system
    • including basic functionality, like list tests or list systems
  • ability to stop system with gdb and do some interaction.
  • avacado server
    • exposes results with HTTP REST API
  • avacado integration with Jenkins
    • run the avacado command as a build in a freestyle job
    • put output in xxunit
    • get results from xunit
  • working on isolating variable that caused the problem
    • diff 2 systems and all the files, messages, versions, etc, and identify the thing that has resulted in the error
    • used for bisection?
