LinuxCon North America/CloudOpen North America

Linaro’s open source automated validation architecture (LAVA) enables developers to test their software on a broad range of hardware platforms. This presentation will describe to developers how they can utilize LAVA to test and validate kernels on real or emulated hardware. This session will showcase a new lightweight interface for testing kernels efficiently, and displaying test results. The goal being that we as developers can leverage automation to ensure that the Linux kernel is well tested and that each iteration becomes more robust than the last.

The target audience would be kernel developers interested in using automation to improve the quality of the Linux kernel. I believe this presentation is important to the Linux ecosystem as LAVA could empower kernel developers to test their code more efficiently than ever before, thus bringing a better user experience to all that use Linux
