Allowing us to run tests included with lisa (and other lisa derivations) would certainly be useful.
However, in addition, will it be possible for wa2-lava to generate lisa hacking session jobs as well? The automation used to construct KVM images from lisa repositories is useful for interactive work as well.
To explain a bit more...
One of the key features of lisa is that it can be used to interactively explore the effects of different synthetic workloads on a system (for example whilst seeking to reproduce "bad" behavior observed in a real system). Effectively it can act as a tool to help develop complex test cases, especially those that include energy metering.
At this point of time wa2-lava.git for full automation from end-to-end. The design was focused for automation only.
Download-> Configure -> and Install-tests Then running adb or ssh session to connect target device from KVM. Run The tests on target Collect the results on host parse the results on host Attach to LAVA job.
For interactive way of running test is not in the scope now. I am adding Milosz for getting his thoughts on this subject.
Thanks Daniel pointed out this. The interactive method is important for profiling efficiency due we can do many profilings after boot up once.
I tried to connect KVM from my local laptop, but cannot connect successfully; but I can access KVM from lab.validation.linaro.org. So KVM cannot directly access from LAVA lab's outside.
