apps/testing README file
========================

  The apps/testing directory is used to build NuttX-specific tests and to
  include external testing frameworks

examples/ostest
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  This is the NuttX 'qualification' suite.  It attempts to exercise
  a broad set of OS functionality.  Its coverage is not very extensive
  as of this writing, but it is used to qualify each NuttX release.

  The behavior of the ostest can be modified with the following
  settings in the configs/<board-name>/defconfig file:

  * CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS
      Build the OS test example as an NSH built-in application.
  * CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST_LOOPS
      Used to control the number of executions of the test.  If
      undefined, the test executes one time.  If defined to be
      zero, the test runs forever.
  * CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST_STACKSIZE
      Used to create the ostest task.  Default is 8192.
  * CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST_NBARRIER_THREADS
      Specifies the number of threads to create in the barrier
      test.  The default is 8 but a smaller number may be needed on
      systems without sufficient memory to start so many threads.
  * CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST_RR_RANGE
      During round-robin scheduling test two threads are created. Each of the threads
      searches for prime numbers in the configurable range, doing that configurable
      number of times.
      This value specifies the end of search range and together with number of runs
      allows to configure the length of this test - it should last at least a few
      tens of seconds. Allowed values [1; 32767], default 10000
  * CONFIG_TESTING_OSTEST_RR_RUNS
      During round-robin scheduling test two threads are created. Each of the threads
      searches for prime numbers in the configurable range, doing that configurable
      number of times.
