Contributing to KernelCI for Better Testing and Collaboration - Arisu Tachibana, Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd.
Many products and services are dependent on the Linux Kernel. Because of this the Linux Kernel has to be tested on many different hardware to ensure the stability and reliability of these products or services, this is why KernelCI needs more collaboration both from users and companies. The Linux Kernel upstream community has requested more contributions from companies and users, in particular on the testing ecosystem, such as adding and reporting test results. By understanding corporate usage, the community can more easily provide support and collaborate effectively. KernelCI is one of the current main Kernel testing frameworks and is helping ensure the quality, stability and long-term maintenance of the Linux kernel. As a member of the KernelCI Technical Steering Committee (TSC), I will give details on KernelCI developments and directions. I will talk about current KernelCI new projects. I will talk about KCI tool usage and how it is possible to test own patches with the current KernelCI API and running the test privately. This session will provide useful information for people interested in adopting KernelCI and encourage them to contribute to KernelCI.
