Setup a KF Testsuite
A KF testsuite can be executed when building a Foundation Library or an Add-On library, and usually extends the tests written for the default library testsuite to verify the behavior of this library when its APIs are exposed by a Kernel.
A KF testsuite is composed of a set of KF tests, each KF test itself is a minimal MicroEJ Multi-Sandbox Firmware composed of a Kernel and zero or more Features.
Enable the Testsuite
In an existing library project:
- Create the
src/test/projects
directory, - Edit the
module.ivy
and insert the following line within the<ea:build>
XML element:
<ea:plugin organisation="com.is2t.easyant.plugins" module="microej-kf-testsuite" revision="+" />
Add a KF Test
A KF test is a structured directory placed in the src/test/projects
directory.
- Create a new directory for the KF test
- Within this directory, create the sub-projects:
- Create a new module project for the Kernel using the
microej-javalib
skeleton, - Create a new module project for the Feature using the
application
skeleton, - Create a new module project for the Firmware using the
firmware-multiapp
skeleton.
- Create a new module project for the Kernel using the
The names of the project directories are free, however MicroEJ suggests the following naming convention, assuming the KF test directory is [TestName]
:
[TestName]-kernel
for the Kernel project,[TestName]-app[1..N]
for Feature projects,[TestName]-firmware
for the Firmware project.
The KF Testsuite structure shall be similar to the following figure:

KF Testsuite Overall Structure
All the projects will be built automatically in the right order based on their dependencies.
KF Testsuite Options
It is possible to configure the same options defined by Testsuite Options for the KF testsuite,
by using the prefix microej.kf.testsuite.properties
instead of microej.testsuite.properties
.
