Hi all,

Me and Teemu attended the meeting today with RIOT Team.

Here are the notes, I have been gathering. They will also provide a WiKi
link to the meeting results in their github, where everybody would add to
it the points that are missing.

*************************************************************************************************************************************
***Automated Regression Testing***
-> Tests running on regular basis instead of every commit basis
-> Raspberry-pi (Master) with linux talks with CI build system, test whole
range of functionality
-> RF can be used to trigure the CI build system
-> Test feedback regarding test failures from daily build system
-> Automate hardware unit testing. In future, combine for integration
testing
-> Problems related to pull request shall be addressed

***Virtualization/Simulation***
-> Mainly simulations
-> Emulating the digital/discrete electronics
-> RIOT to be compiled on many compilers and many platforms
-> Support diverse building environment using different toolchains
-> Test suite run in docker container to be cross-platform
-> Making test system unified, by removing some bugs in multi-platform
compiling

***Documentation for RIOT APIs***
-> Nice and user friendly documentation for RIOT APIs

***RIOT Native***
-> Implements driver interface
-> Compile applications for riot and run on the native machine CPU
-> Emulate core level system functionality (no hardware/low-level emulation)
-> To make testing really fast and accessible, no flashing, no
hardware/driver/low-level issues
-> Network testing tool (virtual network interfaces, define networks to
debug RIOT netwrok stack API/software)

***Meeting Important Points Recap***
-> Distributed system, one central system (Raspberry-pi) communicating with
slave system (probably boards connected to CI server)
-> Run linux on both of them (Master and Slave), boards attached to slave
system, slave system reports back to master system connected to CI server
-> Testing individual boards can be trigured by commits in github
-> Tests slaves via RF integration into this distributed system and CI
server
-> Tests written in a way to run on any platform (native + actual board)
-> In CI server system, test library would have to decide if the tests can
be run against real hardware or native platform
-> Tests should work regardless of what CI system we use
-> Test executes on a system, system executes as much test as it can on
type of hardware or node it is attached to
-> Gather HW test results from slaves, deciding what hardware it is and
where it is attached to the CI system
-> Utilize codespeed in CI system (analyze the performance of your code)
-> Static code analyzers
   - cppcheck
   - Covertyscan some minor bugs
-> Using valgrind
-> Using only free/open-source software as much as we can
->* RF Tests on native, code quality using dynamic code analyzer. Providing
test coverage on unit tests and integration tests
