Linaro Validation

Linaro Automated Validation (LAVA) provides automated testing of Linux builds on ARM hardware. It uses a driver to schedule jobs run by dispatchers on target devices. Tests are defined as actions in JSON jobs submitted to the scheduler. The abrek test framework installs and runs tests, storing results in the LAVA dashboard for analysis. LAVA images are deployed to devices from a master image to test builds across a variety of ARM boards in Linaro's lab.

Linaro Evaluation Builds

Ubuntu Desktop Linaro image based on Ubuntu Desktop Nano - small lightweight image for board validation Developer - focused image with console based developer tools. ALIP - (ARM Linux Internet Platorm) minimal X based image for internet access Others Android

Goals

Deploy Linaro images across a variety of supported devices, without user intervention Make no assumptions about whether networking works or not Control the boot process Keep a good, recovery image Recover from hangs and crashes without manual intervention Monitor and retain serial log Execute tests and store results

Test Execution

Abrek

Lightweight, simple test execution framework Modular, extensible Interfaces with the dashboard Test definition tells abrek how to:
Install (with dependencies) Execute Parse results

Abrek Testsuites
Stream LTP Open Posix Test Suite gmpbench gtkperf x11perf glmemperf tiobench qgears es2gears clutter-eglx-es20 renderbench glmark2-es2 Unixbench GCC/Toolchain tests

Currently Supported In Progress Under Investigation

Peacekeeper Canvas Benchmark GUIMark2 Biolab Disaster Monster Bbench v1.0 v8 quake3 coremark sunspider pybench qa-regression-testing LSB Moonbat

Master Image

Basically, just a known-good, stripped down, Linaro image Needs to be able to

Manipulate images on the test partition Talk to the network

Also serves as a recovery partition

Deployment

On the server:

Download hwpack and rootfs Use linaro-media-create to create image Extract tarball of boot and root fs Boot to master image Reformat test partitions wget/untar boot and root tarballs Reboot

On the test system:

Directly interact with uboot to boot into test image

Test Execution

Abrek Simple interface for installing/running tests, and dealing with results Works with launch-control (our dashboard for storing/visualizing results) Other tests and execution frameworks could easily be supported

Using abrek Directly running from the dispatcher

LAVA Components
