Continuous Integration (CI)
|
|
|
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuous integration (CI) requires the builds of the entire application and
|
|
|
|
|
the execution of a comprehensive set of automated tests every time there is a
|
|
|
|
|
need to commit any set of changes [1]_. The automated tests are composed
|
|
|
|
|
of unit, functional and other tests.

Most of QEMU's CI is run on GitLab's infrastructure although a number
|
|
|
|
|
of other CI services are used for specialised purposes. The most up to
|
|
|
|
|
date information about them and their status can be found on the
|
|
|
|
|
`project wiki testing page <https://wiki.qemu.org/Testing/CI>`_.

These tests are also used as gating tests before merging pull requests.
|
|
|
|
|
A gating test restricts the move of code from one stage to another on a
|
|
|
|
|
test/deployment pipeline. The step move is granted with approval. The approval
|
|
|
|
|
can be a manual intervention or a set of tests succeeding [2]_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On QEMU, the gating process happens during the pull request. The approval is
|
|
|
|
|
done by the project leader running its own set of tests. The pull request gets
|
|
|
|
|
merged when the tests succeed.
