Mentorship Session: KernelCI: Travel Guide 2024
Channel: The Linux Foundation
Date: 2024-03-21

Mentor: Guillaume Tucker, Former KernelCI Chair (2021-2023)


The Linux kernel is complex and so is KernelCI. Its code base is much smaller of course but the scope for testing is just as big as the kernel itself. From individual developers to large product manufacturers and from the original implementation a few years back to the current on-going developments, there is a lot to explore. Things are finally starting to shape up as issues have been more clearly identified, solutions are being designed to address the community's requirements and their implementations are well under way.


Let's take a walk by all the interesting spots to see around KernelCI in 2024. First we'll fast-forward along the history trail of the project to get an idea of what took us there, then we'll stop by some noteworthy monuments such as the extent of the current test coverage and capabilities of the infrastructure. Finally we'll study the blueprints for the new API and web dashboard and take a glimpse at the on-going works in that area.
