@ -228,6 +228,13 @@ In general, the rules for selftests are
* Don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is
unconfigured.
* The output of tests must conform to the TAP standard to ensure high
testing quality and to capture failures/errors with specific details.
The kselftest.h and kselftest_harness.h headers provide wrappers for
outputting test results. These wrappers should be used for pass,
fail, exit, and skip messages. CI systems can easily parse TAP output
messages to detect test results.
