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.
