 Testing Packages With ptest
 ===========================
 
-A Package Test (ptest) runs tests against packages built by the
-OpenEmbedded build system on the target machine. A ptest contains at
-least two items: the actual test, and a shell script (``run-ptest``)
-that starts the test. The shell script that starts the test must not
-contain the actual test --- the script only starts the test. On the other
-hand, the test can be anything from a simple shell script that runs a
-binary and checks the output to an elaborate system of test binaries and
-data files.
-
-The test generates output in the format used by Automake::
-
-   result: testname
-
-where the result can be ``PASS``, ``FAIL``, or ``SKIP``, and
-the testname can be any identifying string.
-
-For a list of Yocto Project recipes that are already enabled with ptest,
-see the :yocto_wiki:`Ptest </Ptest>` wiki page.
-
-.. note::
-
-   A recipe is "ptest-enabled" if it inherits the :ref:`ref-classes-ptest`
-   class.
-
-Adding ptest to Your Build
---------------------------
-
-To add package testing to your build, add the :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` and
-:term:`EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES` variables to your ``local.conf`` file, which
-is found in the :term:`Build Directory`::
-
-   DISTRO_FEATURES:append = " ptest"
-   EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "ptest-pkgs"
-
-Once your build is complete, the ptest files are installed into the
-``/usr/lib/package/ptest`` directory within the image, where ``package``
-is the name of the package.
-
-Running ptest
--------------
-
-The ``ptest-runner`` package installs a shell script that loops through
-all installed ptest test suites and runs them in sequence. Consequently,
-you might want to add this package to your image.
-
-Getting Your Package Ready
---------------------------
-
-In order to enable a recipe to run installed ptests on target hardware,
-you need to prepare the recipes that build the packages you want to
-test. Here is what you have to do for each recipe:
-
--  *Be sure the recipe inherits the* :ref:`ref-classes-ptest` *class:*
-   Include the following line in each recipe::
-
-      inherit ptest
-
--  *Create run-ptest:* This script starts your test. Locate the
-   script where you will refer to it using
-   :term:`SRC_URI`. Here is an
-   example that starts a test for ``dbus``::
-
-      #!/bin/sh
-      cd test
-      make -k runtest-TESTS
-
--  *Ensure dependencies are met:* If the test adds build or runtime
-   dependencies that normally do not exist for the package (such as
-   requiring "make" to run the test suite), use the
-   :term:`DEPENDS` and
-   :term:`RDEPENDS` variables in
-   your recipe in order for the package to meet the dependencies. Here
-   is an example where the package has a runtime dependency on "make"::
-
-      RDEPENDS:${PN}-ptest += "make"
-
--  *Add a function to build the test suite:* Not many packages support
-   cross-compilation of their test suites. Consequently, you usually
-   need to add a cross-compilation function to the package.
-
-   Many packages based on Automake compile and run the test suite by
-   using a single command such as ``make check``. However, the host
-   ``make check`` builds and runs on the same computer, while
-   cross-compiling requires that the package is built on the host but
-   executed for the target architecture (though often, as in the case
-   for ptest, the execution occurs on the host). The built version of
-   Automake that ships with the Yocto Project includes a patch that
-   separates building and execution. Consequently, packages that use the
-   unaltered, patched version of ``make check`` automatically
-   cross-compiles.
-
-   Regardless, you still must add a ``do_compile_ptest`` function to
-   build the test suite. Add a function similar to the following to your
-   recipe::
-
-      do_compile_ptest() {
-          oe_runmake buildtest-TESTS
-      }
-
--  *Ensure special configurations are set:* If the package requires
-   special configurations prior to compiling the test code, you must
-   insert a ``do_configure_ptest`` function into the recipe.
-
--  *Install the test suite:* The :ref:`ref-classes-ptest` class
-   automatically copies the file ``run-ptest`` to the target and then runs make
-   ``install-ptest`` to run the tests. If this is not enough, you need
-   to create a ``do_install_ptest`` function and make sure it gets
-   called after the "make install-ptest" completes.
