Re: [Xen-devel] Does Xen project have test suites for testing xc/xl/hypercall and so on?

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jinjian,

validating changes made by contributors before submitting their patches
to xen-devel, is exactly the reason why I introduced "raise test" in
raisin. However the number of tests available is still very limited and
the functionality pretty immature.

Of course I would be happy to take patches to improve it :-)

Cheers,

Stefano
