Testing Linux Kernel
Learn the various tools available to test Linux Kernel
Testing Linux Kernel
Testing is an integral and important part of any software development cycle and Linux kernel is no exception to that.
With several developers continuing to
add new features, and
fixing bugs,
Continuous integration and testing is vital to ensure the kernel continues to work on
existing hardware as new hardware support and features get added
New kernels are always released regularly, but in fact, everyone doesn’t fully understand how the kernel is tested in depth
In this course, we will be looking into various testing tools available for Linux Kernel:
- Linux Test Project (LTP)
- LTP-DDT
- Kselftest
