The aim is to have a full API coverage -using python scripts using unittests. Currently the test suite is far from -complete. - -## Supported platforms - -Intel Galileo v1 was used and is currently the only supported platform. Tests -were conducted on Intel Galileo v2, but because of hardware differences, some -failures may occur. Logic will be added to auto-select board to work on. To -start with boards with an arduino type shield/layout should work - -## How to run these tests - -You need to compile from source with -DBUILDSWIGPYTHON=ON and then tests can be -executed with: -$ make test - -More detail can be seen by running: -$ ctest -VV - -Note tests will not run on platforms which cannot initialise, checking the -amount of 'skipped' tests can be useful - -## What's next? - -At this point tests were made to do a quick sanity check. In the future the -followings will be implemented: - * Create a physical layer that will emulate sensors behavior and generate I/O - signals. This layer will be available to the community and will help replace - the need of specific sensors. The simplest solution will be chosen allowing - anyone to rapidly implement it. - * Implement stress tests over long periods of time. This feature alone is - possible only with the use of a physical layer since it will behave both as - signals generator and interpreter. - * Analyze a tests result collection solution (and after, interpretation). This - is useful since tests mean nothing without a history and possibility to - check on results. - * Any idea welcome! - |
