-# Testing mraa
-
-Mraa has a test suite written in python which can be run by users to check
-their platform is working correctly. 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!
