Vocabulary

Passed version The latest branch and version on which the test is known to pass
Broken version The latest branch and version on which the test is known to fail. n/a when older than passed version.
ID A unqiue ID to refer to a test. The unique numbers are maintained in this file. Note that the same test can be run on different hardware/interface. Each combination yields a unique id.
Test case An atomic entity that describes the operations needed to test a feature or only a part of it. The test case should:
  • be uniquely identifiable
  • define the complete prerequisites of the test (eg: the target, the interface, the initial state of the system)
  • define the input to be applied to the system in order to execute the test
  • define the expected output
  • contain the output resulted by running the test case
  • contain the result of the test (pass/fail)
Test suite A (completable) collection of test cases
Testing Testing refers to running the test suite for a specific revision of the software, for one or many targets, using one or many JTAG interfaces. Testing should be be stored along with all the other records for that specific revision. For releases, the results can be stored along with the binaries
Target = ANY Any target can be used for this test
Interface = ANY Any interface can be used for this test
Target = "reset_config srst_and_trst" Any target which supports the reset_config above
