Abstract:
Hand in hand with the design of the new core goes the need for thorough testing, which is highly automated. Tools for hardware/software codesign allow very fast design of the new core and generation of the complete tool-chain. The tool-chain that is used for the programming of the newly developed core and also descriptions of the core in various languages are generated automatically and it is the role of automatic testing to ensure that there is no regression. As the pace of the development is high also the techniques for the testing must be able to cover the testing in very short period of time. In this article, we will introduce the generator of jobs for the continuous integration server Jenkins. Through the job generation we reach the higher level of automation of the whole process of the core development and also speed up the process of testing.
