Roman Bol'shakov: "CI-friendly testing of kernel code"
CI-friendly testing of kernel code
There's abundance of tools that help userspace developers to test their code locally on a workstation or within a continuous integration environment. Unfortunately, kernel developers often rely on ad-hoc/homegrown methods of testing. There's a lot of test suites, test frameworks for Linux kernel and its subsystems but it's challenging to go from "git clone" straight to "make test". In this talk I'm going to make an overview of existing tools for testing the kernel and present a tool that aims to close the gap.
