[LTP] LTP Test Case mapping based on Changelog

[LTP] LTP Test Case mapping based on Changelog

[Mahesh Kumar G via ltp]

Hi!
Greetings!!

We want to check the changelog of a particular Linux build and identify the files, which are modified and test only those modified areas using our LTP suite.

The pain point here is, after identifying the changed files from the changelog/commit details that went into the build, how do we map it to a particular LTP test case or test suite.

Do you know how to achieve this?

P.S – We are aware of the kpet project and wanted to know if there’s something similar for LTP testcases.

Thanks,
Mahesh Kumar G

My two cents:

The simple method is to identify the change code belonging
to which subcomponent, e.g. mm, you can use the LTP/mm
to cover the Linux build.

In LTP runtest/ directory, there are many task file mapping Linux
kernel relates module, but it doesn't 100% precise, for example,
ltp/runtest/syscalls include kinds of syscall's tests, it is hard to say
which kernel subcomponents it covers, but fortunately, LTP supports
creating a customized taskfile, which means people can reorder
them in a new specified file to cover some kernel-module changes
they wanted.

These highly depend on how people do the testing triage work.
