Many parts in Kconfig are so cryptic and need refactoring. However, its complexity prevents us from moving forward. There are several naive corner cases where it is difficult to notice breakage. If those are covered by unit tests, we will be able to touch the code with more confidence. Here is a simple test framework based on pytest. The conftest.py provides a fixture useful to run commands such as 'oldaskconfig' etc. and to compare the resulted .config, stdout, stderr with expectations. How to add test cases? ---------------------- For each test case, you should create a subdirectory under scripts/kconfig/tests/ (so test cases are separated from each other). Every test case directory should contain the following files: - __init__.py: describes test functions - Kconfig: the top level Kconfig file for the test To do a useful job, test cases generally need additional data like input .config and information about expected results. How to run tests? ----------------- You need python3 and pytest. Then, run "make testconfig". O= option is supported. If V=1 is given, detailed logs captured during tests are displayed.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
