The scope of BSP testing is to make sure that the core BSPs have basic functionality, like described below:
*Boot Test: Check if Yocto image is bootable with the bootloader.
*Installation/SW Update Test: Validate the Yocto image installation on hardware platform and software install/removal functions from the end users' perspective. Using zypper/rpm/SMART updater for software updates with hardisk installed image.
*Common system usage Test: shutdown/restart, suspend/resume, init 3/5 boot.
Component Test (aka. Feature Test): Based on sato image features to test. For example:
*Perl
*Rootless X
*Opening 3rd party application
*Code compiling and building binaries on the *-sdk images
*Continuous system updates analysis
(Basic functionality for tested features will be exercised as well as new functionality added in each release.)

Introduction

This article is the overall test plan for version 1.5 of the Yocto Project. It contains an overview of the testing process, such as testing areas, types, cycles and reports, along with a summary and objective for each of the conducted validation activities. Further on, sections may be linked to other articles that contain further details or information related to them. Note that the information provided in this article, or articles linked here, is subject to changes when needed as to reflect the actual activities held for the current version of the Yocto Project.

Objectives

The test process is mainly focused to track and review the quality and performance of the Yocto Project, along with its reference system and internal projects. The plan also includes identifying and tracking areas subject to improvement, regression, validation of enhancements and bugs, development of testing methods with emphasis on automated testing. Documentation and licensing status is not included in the scope of the testing process, unless otherwise noted e.g. as part of the process of verifying new features.

Test Areas

Each internal project, under Yocto Project, is an area subject to a testing process. Areas are grouped by the nature of their functionality, as follows:

Build System

The build engine and the surrounding components, that provide the means to build an image or bake a bit of software. In this area the build-time tests are executed.

BitBake

Functional testing of BitBake, as a build engine, with all its features and components, against various configuration and scenarios.

HOB

Functional and usability testing of HOB as a graphical user interface for BitBake.

Metadata

Testing the core metadata of the Yocto Project is mainly covered in the overall testing process, through other #Test Areas like #BitBake and #HOB mentioned above.

Build Performance

The performance of the build system is tracked, with regards to time spent on passing through a build process, in multiple, commonly used, configurations.

  • ADT installer
  • toolchain tarballs
  • yocto build tree

Eclipse IDE Plugin

Eclipse plugin tests will cover the basic functionalities. This includes installation, configuring Yocto Project ADT settings, Yocto BSP, Bitbake project and project compiling and deployment to the target. Based on the features that will be implemented, new test cases will be added, to support Windows and Mac support. This will be more detailed in the Features section.

  • headless build
  • C/C++ project creation
  • debug/deploy
  • user space tools
  • Bitbake project

Build Appliance

The basic functionality of the Build appliance will be tested. The tests consists on building successfully a build-appliance-image, launch HOB.
