Attendees
Please note that this is a closed, invitation-only event.
For this event, Kevin and I decided to keep it to a small focused group. Linaro will be recording the presentations and discussion, and the videos will be made available after the summit. I apologize if you would like to attend but have not been invited. We are hopeful that we can put together a public automated testing event in the future.

Pre-meeting work
Tim and Kevin worked on a glossary and survey, and CI loop diagram for discussion.
See Test Stack Survey for the work in progress.
Eventually, we'd like to fill out the information on: Test Stack Layers

Agenda (brainstorming)
Here is some brainstorming on an agenda...
- board farm survey (lightning talks)
- what are people using?
- what works?
- what's missing?
- board discovery/lab introspection?
- layers and interfaces
- what layers are supported, needed?
- any way to leverage/separate/isolate existing software?
- what tests need to be supported?
- boot-time
- run-time
- package-based (package unit tests)
- driver (hardware specific?)
- requiring specialized hardware external to board (e.g. canbus simulator, hdmi frame-grabber)
- multinode
- how to allocate/schedule multiple pieces of equipment for a test (e.g. 2 or more nodes for a network test)
- results reporting
- centralized server and API to it (kernelCI json?)
- sharing tests
- how to define standards
- de-facto only? (dominant project? (cough, LAVA))
- documents?
- survey of existing projects, and what pieces they focus on (or don't)
