-Introduction- Oe-selftest is a test framework used for testing the poky build system. Following are some key points in describing oe-selftest: - based on Python Unit Testing - designed to simulate poky external usage patterns - does not cover image run-time testing - implements a new layer that contains generic/specific metadata used only by tests
-How to use-
In order to use oe-selftest, you need the following(in this specific order): - the poky source (1.5 M2 or better) - a sourced build environment - the meta-selftest layer added in conf/bblayers.conf

You should be aware of the following: - oe-selftest uses the settings in conf/local.conf as a base for all test configurations. Any modifications made(like DISTRO) or not made here(like BB_NUMBER_THREADS) will impact all tests if the modifications are not overwritten s specifically by a test - running all tests can take a long time!
