The testimage class supports running automated tests against images. The class handles loading the tests and starting the image.

Note

Currently, there is only support for running these tests under QEMU.

To use the class, you need to perform steps to set up the environment. The tests are commands that run on the target system over ssh. they are written in Python and make use of the unittest module.

For information on how to enable, run, and create new tests, see the "Performing Automated Runtime Testing" section.
