Chip-Level Test Libraries

Overview

This subtree contains test library code that could aid in the writing of chip-level tests. Test library code consists of two components:

  1. testutils libraries, and
  2. the on-device test framework.

Functions in testutils libraries are designed to wrap several DIF invocations that are commonly used together across many chip-level tests. They are not designed to wrap a single DIF call.

The on-device test framework provides a generic platform for writing chip-level tests.

Style Guide

  • All testutils libraries should be placed in sw/device/lib/testing/*
  • The on-device test framework code will live in: sw/device/lib/testing/test\_framework.
  • testutils libraries will be named: <IP or functionality name>_testutils.<h,c>
  • All testutils function names should take on the following format: <IP or functionality name>_testutils_<function name>(). This corresponds to the format: <filename>_<function name>().
  • All testutils functions should return status_t, if appropriate the kOk return can encapsulate a value such as a bool. testutils functions should never abort, which means that CHECK*() macros shall not be used but its siblings TRY_CHECK*() defined in sw/device/lib/testing/check.h instead.
  • All testutils functions should be marked with OT_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to avoid mistakenly ignoring errors.
  • Try to keep testutils libraries toplevel agnostic (e.g., don’t include hw/top_earlgrey/sw/autogen/top_earlgrey.h if you can avoid it). This means dif_<ip>_init() DIFs should be invoked in chip-level tests, not testutils, and the DIF handles should be passed in as parameters to testutils functions.
  • Pass-through sw/device/lib/dif_base.h types where appropriate. This allows testutils functions to easily mix with DIFs within chip-level tests.
  • Avoid defining testutils that call a single DIF, and use the DIF directly. If a DIF does not exist for your needs, create one by following the DIF development guide.
