Unit Tests

We run unit tests using the portage's test FEATURE. For instructions on how to run and add your own unit tests, follow these instructions.

Testing Workflows

Testing Components

Autotest Documentation

Autotest

Autotest User Doc describes the integration of autotest into the build system, along with FAQ and specific descriptions of various tasks.

This has additional info on how to run the smoke test suite on a Virtual Machine.

Before you check in a change, you should also do a trybot run locally, which will run unit tests and smoke tests in the same way that the buildbots do.
