How can I test my changes to the test cases?
I’ve written some changes to some test cases and I want to test them locally, how is that possible?
Run tests against a live target
When using a real piece of hardware you can run the following from
a scotty shell environment
$ devtool simplecore-test-target <image-name> <ip of the target> <ip of your host>
runtime cases only
This method applies only the test cases defined under lib/oeqa/runtime/cases
Grab a coffee
Depending on how many test cases are configured for the chosen image, running the test suite can take a while. So it might be the perfect time to grab a coffee.
Run tests against a qemu target
When using QEMU you can run the following from a scotty shell environment
$ bitbake <image-name> -c testimage
runtime cases only
This method applies only the test cases defined under lib/oeqa/runtime/cases
