Job results

A test result in a LAVA job is called a test case that include a result. Each test case can optionally include a measurement and a units string. Test cases are aggregated into a test suite. Multiple test suites can be generated for each test job.

Test suite

The name of a test suite is defined in the test job definition. LAVA creates one test suite for each test definition, using its name field. For the definitions action, LAVA prepends a zero-based sequence number to the name to ensure test suite is unique within the job.

Every test job also generates a reserved lava test suite that contains results produced by the job actions.

Test set

Test Set is optional and allows test writers to subdivide individual results within a single Lava test definition using an arbitrary label. This is useful when the same test is run multiple times with different parameters.

See lava-test-set for recording a test set.

Test case

Each test case has a name and a result. Optionally it can have a measurement and units.

See lava-test-case for recording a test result.

Note

  • Whitespace is not allowed in test case name.
  • Supported result types are: pass, fail, skip or unknown.
