Hi all, As part of the feature development work for 1.5, we've recently added the ability to easily define runtime tests written in python, replacing the old shell-based imagetest.bbclass. However, for 1.5 this is limited to running the tests within a QEMU environment; the obvious and desirable next step is to be able to have these run on real hardware. Clearly this presents some challenges, such as how to manage access to the hardware if you have multiple builders potentially wanting to use the same board at around the same time.
Automated testing on real hardware is something that a lot of us do already, but the likelihood is that we've all been coming up with our own solutions for this, so it would be really great if we could have a single working solution to cover the generally applicable use cases. As a start though it would be interesting to hear from people who have existing test setups or who are generally interested in this area. I'd like to hear feedback on the following: * What hardware setup do you use for automated testing? * Do you use any software to manage the hardware? Does this include any existing open source tools? * What would you like to see in a common framework to enable this kind of testing? For reference, some discussion on this started in another thread [1], but I'd like to throw this out to a more general audience.
