Testing a large testing software

LAVA is an automated validation architecture primarily aimed at testing deployments of systems based around the Linux kernel on ARM devices, specifically ARMv7 and later. LAVA is becoming the de facto standard to test software (bootloader, kernel, userspace) on development boards (rpi, juno, beagle, ...). It's used by many projects to build large testing systems like kernelci. Testing a testing system like LAVA is sometimes a tricky task. In order to test LAVA we had to develop some specific tools (meta-lava, DummySYS, lavafed, ...) that I will present during this talk.

KernelCI is a project dedicated to testing the upstream Linux kernel. Originally created by Linaro in 2014, it started a new chapter by becoming a Linux Foundation project in October 2019. Its future looks bright, with plenty of opportunities for new contributors to join.

Overview of SUSE's Linux kernel testing in OpenQA, how we keep track of known issues, explore test results and other features of JDP. The JDP framework is written in Julia, uses Redis as a distributed data cache and Jupyter for interactive reporting. OpenQA is a large application used for testing operating systems and displaying the results.

What benchmark? How many VMs? How big each VM is? Are they all equal or are they different? What's the host OS? What are the guest OSes? I.e., when wanting to do virtualization performance testing, the matrix of test cases tends to explode pretty quickly. This talk will show how we enhanced an existing benchmarking suite, MMTests, in order to be able to deal a little bit better with such complexity. And what our further activities and plans are, for even more and better automation.

OCS stands for Openshift Container storage. It provides container-based storage for OCP(Openshift container platform). It’s easily scalable to bare metal, VMs and cloud platforms. Auto healing is a property of OCS cluster that auto heals a cluster component automatically when passes through an unexpected condition. A component can be a node, a network interface, a service, etc. To make sure auto heals just fine, we introduced negative testing. Negative Testing is defined as, a testing type ...

OpenTAP is a project aimed at automation in the test and measurement space. It is designed for test and measurement of hardware in R&D and manufacturing, but is moving more towards software testing e.g. with usage in cloud infrastructure testing. The project started as an internal product by Keysight Technologies and is used as the core of many products and solutions deployed around the world. As of 2019, we have released OpenTAP under the Mozilla Public License v2 and are working on building a ...
