# UniversalisOS Testing & Quality Assurance Guidelines
# UniversalisOS Testing Toolchain Manual
As a safety-critical Type-1 hypervisor implementing PikeOS 5.0 patterns, UniversalisOS requires a rigorous, standards-compliant approach to testing. This document defines the strategies for requirements traceability, test creation, execution, and code coverage to align with high-assurance standards (e.g., DO-178C, ISO 26262).
This document is the official manual for the UniversalisOS testing toolchain. It replaces generic testing guidelines with concrete instructions for the custom-built tools already present in the codebase.
---
## 1. Requirements Engineering & Traceability
## 1. Toolchain Overview
### Current State
- **Tooling**: Doorstop integration exists at `tools/doorstop-integration/` with 5 HLRs (`REQ-001.yml` through `REQ-005.yml`).
- **CI validation**: The `requirements-coverage` GitHub Actions job validates Doorstop requirements and generates traceability matrices.
- **Plane integration**: `plane_bridge.py` provides bidirectional sync between Doorstop and Plane for LLRs.
The UniversalisOS testing ecosystem consists of three integrated components:
### Higher-Level Requirements (HLR)
HLRs describe *what* the system must do from a system integration perspective.
- **Management**: HLRs are managed via **Doorstop** (`tools/doorstop-integration/`).
- **User Interface**: Requirements engineers interact with HLRs via `janela-do-desassossego-web` (tabular UI) or IDE integrations in `aurelio-theia`/`aurelio-vscode`.
- **Traceability**: Every HLR must trace down to LLRs. Test engineers read HLRs, compare them with test framework keywords, and implement in-firmware tests directly targeting the requirements.
### Lower-Level Requirements (LLR)
LLRs describe *how* the HLRs are implemented at the software and architecture level.
- **Management**: LLRs are managed in Plane (`plane.portugalfuturista.org`).
- **Traceability**: Every LLR must trace back to an HLR, and forward to specific in-firmware test cases executing within the CI pipeline.
### Adding New Requirements
```bash
cd tools/doorstop-integration
python3 doorsetup.py --create HLR --id REQ-006 --text "Description of requirement"
python3 plane_bridge.py --sync # Push to Plane for LLR management
```
| Component | Tool | Purpose | Location |
|-----------|------|---------|----------|
| **Test Execution** | `uos-target.py` | Compile tests into kernel payload, run via QEMU, parse UART results | `tools/uos-target/` |
| **Code Coverage** | `uos-cover` suite | C instrumentation, trace parsing, MC/DC/branch/statement coverage | `tools/uos-cover/` |
| **Requirements** | Doorstop + Plane | HLR management (Doorstop) and LLR management (Plane) | `tools/doorstop-integration/` |
---
## 2. Test Framework Architecture
## 2. Test Execution: `uos-target.py`
### Current State
UniversalisOS uses a **dual-layer** testing approach:
### Purpose
`uos-target.py` manages the complete test execution pipeline:
1. Compiles tests directly into the kernel payload/firmware
2. Launches QEMU with the instrumented kernel
3. Parses `pass`, `fail`, and `skip` results directly from UART output
4. Generates JUnit XML reports for CI integration
| Layer | Tool | Status | Purpose |
|-------|------|--------|---------|
| **Host-side tooling** | pytest suites | ✅ Operational | Test the build/coverage/packaging tools |
| **Target firmware** | `uos-check.sh` | ✅ Partial | Build verification + boot smoke tests |
| **Target firmware** | In-kernel test harness | ❌ Not implemented | Structured firmware tests |
| **Code coverage** | `uos-cover` suite | ✅ Operational | Instrumentation + coverage analysis |
| **Test orchestration** | `uos-target` | ⚠️ Misnamed | Currently a target-definition validator, not a test runner |
### Host-Side Testing (Tooling)
The `tools/` directory contains well-tested Python tooling:
| Tool | Test Files | Coverage |
|------|-----------|----------|
| `tools/uos-cover/` | 8 pytest files + 1 C unit test | Instrumentation, trace parsing, justification, export |
| `tools/uos-pkg/` | 3 pytest files | Package build, spec parsing, RPM format |
| `tools/doorstop-integration/` | CI validation | Requirements traceability |
Run host-side tests:
```bash
# All tool tests
python -m pytest tools/uos-cover/test/ tools/uos-pkg/test/ -v
# Specific tool
python -m pytest tools/uos-cover/test/ -v
```
### Target Firmware Testing (Current)
The `kernel/uos-check.sh` script provides build + boot verification:
### Usage
```bash
cd kernel
./uos-check.sh test # Build all architectures + boot smoke tests
./uos-check.sh test-armv7 # Build + boot ARMv7 only
./uos-check.sh test-aarch64 # Build + boot AArch64 only
./uos-check.sh test-riscv # Build + boot RISC-V only
./uos-check.sh lint # Static analysis (if available)
./uos-check.sh build-all # Build all architectures (no boot)
# Run all tests for default target (qemu-arm-virt)
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --run
# Run tests for specific architecture
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --arch armv7 --platform qemu-arm-virt --run
# Run with specific test filter
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --run --filter "scheduler_*"
# Generate JUnit XML for CI
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --run --junit results.xml
# Run with coverage instrumentation enabled
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --run --coverage
```
**What `uos-check.sh test` does:**
1. Compiles the kernel for the target architecture
2. Launches QEMU with the compiled ELF
3. Waits up to 10 seconds for UART output
4. Greps for the "UniversalisOS" banner string
5. Reports PASS/FAIL based on banner detection
### Test Output Format
Tests embedded in the kernel must output results in this exact format:
**Limitations:**
- Only checks for boot banner (no functional test validation)
- No structured pass/fail/skip keyword parsing
- No test result persistence or reporting
- Not integrated into CI (runs locally only)
### Target Firmware Testing (Planned)
A structured in-kernel test harness is needed for DO-178C compliance. See [Section 8: Roadmap](#8-roadmap).
---
## 3. Creating Test Cases
### Host-Side Tool Tests
Host-side tests follow standard pytest conventions:
```python
# tools/uos-cover/test/test_uos_trace.py example
import pytest
from uos_trace import parse_trace_file, generate_matrix
def test_parse_trace_file():
"""Verify trace file parsing handles valid input."""
result = parse_trace_file("fixtures/valid_trace.txt")
assert result is not None
assert len(result.requirements) > 0
def test_generate_matrix():
"""Verify traceability matrix generation."""
matrix = generate_matrix(requirements, test_cases)
assert matrix覆盖率 >= 0.0 # Basic sanity check
```
[UOS-TEST] <test_name>: <pass|fail|skip> [<message>]
```
Run:
```bash
python -m pytest tools/uos-cover/test/test_uos_trace.py -v
Example UART output:
```
[UOS-TEST] scheduler_round_robin: pass
[UOS-TEST] scheduler_preemption: pass
[UOS-TEST] memory_alloc_null: fail [null pointer not caught]
[UOS-TEST] ipc_message_size: skip [not implemented on this platform]
```
### Firmware Test Cases (Current)
Firmware tests are currently **inline smoke tests** embedded in kernel source:
```cpp
// kernel/src/core/kernel.cpp — inline demo test
void partition_lifecycle_test() {
uart_puts("[TEST] partition_lifecycle: starting\n");
// ... test logic ...
uart_puts("[TEST] partition_lifecycle: pass\n");
}
```
**Test output format:**
```
[TEST] <test_name>: pass
[TEST] <test_name>: fail
[TEST] <test_name>: skip
```
### Firmware Test Cases (Planned)
For DO-178C compliance, tests should be structured as:
```cpp
// kernel/src/test/test_scheduler.cpp (planned)
#include "uos_test.h"
UOS_TEST(scheduler_round_robin) {
// Arrange: create 3 partitions with equal priority
// Act: run scheduler for 100 ticks
// Assert: each partition ran approximately 33 ticks
UOS_ASSERT(partition_a_ticks >= 30 && partition_a_ticks <= 36);
UOS_ASSERT(partition_b_ticks >= 30 && partition_b_ticks <= 36);
UOS_ASSERT(partition_c_ticks >= 30 && partition_c_ticks <= 36);
}
UOS_TEST(scheduler_preemption) {
// Arrange: create high-priority and low-priority partitions
// Act: high-priority partition runs
// Assert: low-priority partition is preempted
UOS_ASSERT(preemption_occurred == true);
}
```
### Exhaustive Corner Cases
Tests must cover all corner cases, including:
- Integer overflow/underflow for all data types
- Memory boundary conditions (null pointers, buffer overflows)
- Race conditions in concurrent operations
- Error handling paths (invalid inputs, resource exhaustion)
- Hardware edge cases (device timeout, interrupt storms)
---
## 4. Running the Test Suite
### Host-Side Tests (CI/CD)
Automated via GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`):
### Configuration
`uos-target.py` reads target definitions from `tools/uos-target/targets/`:
```yaml

### Coverage Requirements (DO-178C)
### Coverage Levels (DO-178C / ISO 26262)
| Level | Requirement | Current Status |
|-------|-------------|----------------|
| **Statement Coverage** | 100% of reachable statements | ❌ Not measured for kernel |
| **Branch Coverage** | 100% of all branches | ❌ Not measured for kernel |
| **MC/DC** | 100% for critical modules | ❌ Not measured for kernel |
| Level | Metric | Threshold | Tool |
|-------|--------|-----------|------|

### Justifying Unreachable Code
For code that cannot be exercised (e.g., dead code after `__builtin_unreachable()`):
For code that cannot be exercised (e.g., hardware-failure paths, defensive checks):
```bash
python tools/uos-cover/uos_justify.py \
--file kernel/src/core/scheduler.cpp \
--line 245 \
--reason "Unreachable after watchdog timeout assertion"
--reason "Unreachable: watchdog timeout triggers system reset before this path" \
--category "hardware_failure"
```
Justifications are stored in `.uos_justifications.json` and included in verification reports.
---
## 4. Requirements Traceability
### Higher-Level Requirements (HLR)
HLRs are managed by **Doorstop** at `tools/doorstop-integration/`:
```bash
# Create new HLR
cd tools/doorstop-integration
python doorsetup.py --create HLR --id REQ-006 \
--text "The scheduler shall support round-robin partitioning"
# Validate all requirements
python doors_export.py --validate
# Generate traceability matrix
python doors_export.py --format csv --output trace_matrix.csv
```
HLRs are viewed and edited via:
- **Web**: `janela-do-desassossego-web` (DOORS-like grid at `/doors`)
- **IDE**: `aurelio-theia` sidebar widget (`HLR Requirements` view)
- **VS Code**: `aurelio-vscode` panel (`Aurelio: Open HLR Requirements` command)
### Lower-Level Requirements (LLR)
LLRs are managed in **Plane** (`plane.portugalfuturista.org`) and tied directly to the CI execution pipeline.
### Bidirectional Sync
```bash
# Push HLRs to Plane (create/update LLRs)
python plane_bridge.py --sync
# Pull LLR status from Plane
python plane_bridge.py --pull --format yaml
```

## 7. Test Prioritization
## 6. Quick Reference
### Risk-Based Testing
Tests are prioritized based on risk:
### Running Tests Locally
```bash
# Full test suite with coverage
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --run --coverage
| Priority | Module | Rationale |
|----------|--------|-----------|
| **P0 - Critical** | Scheduler, IPC, Memory Management | System stability; failures cause crashes |
| **P1 - High** | Device drivers, Health Monitoring | Hardware interaction; failures cause data loss |
| **P2 - Medium** | File system, Network stack | Feature failures degrade functionality |
| **P3 - Low** | Debug tools, Diagnostics | Failures affect observability only |
# Specific architecture only
python tools/uos-target/uos-target.py --arch riscv --run
### Test Categories
# Quick smoke test (no coverage)
cd kernel && ./uos-check.sh test
```
| Category | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| **Smoke** | Boot + basic functionality | Banner output, scheduler start |
| **Functional** | Feature-specific behavior | IPC message delivery, memory allocation |
| **Regression** | Prevent reintroduction of fixed bugs | Specific bug fix verification |
| **Performance** | Timing, throughput, latency | Scheduler tick accuracy, IPC latency |
| **Stress** | Under load, resource exhaustion | Memory pressure, task overflow |
| **Security** | Isolation, privilege boundaries | Partition isolation, capability checks |
### Coverage Commands
```bash
# Instrument → Build → Test → Report (full pipeline)
python tools/uos-cover/uos_cover.py --full-pipeline --arch armv7
# Justify unreachable code
python tools/uos-cover/uos_justify.py --file <file> --line <line> --reason "<reason>"
# Export coverage for specific requirement
python tools/uos-cover/uos_covexport.py --input coverage.json --requirement REQ-001 --format html
```
### Requirements Commands
```bash
# View requirements in browser (Doorstop backend must be running)
curl http://192.168.0.9:8100/api/v1/requirements
# Validate
python tools/doorstop-integration/doors_export.py --validate
# Sync with Plane
python tools/doorstop-integration/plane_bridge.py --sync
```

## 8. Roadmap: Building Out Testing Infrastructure
### Phase 1: CI Boot Testing (Immediate)
**Goal:** Run firmware boot tests in CI for all architectures.
**Tasks:**
1. Add `make test` target to `kernel/Makefile`
2. Create `tools/uos-boot-test/` — QEMU orchestrator with UART monitoring
3. Wire `uos-check.sh test` into `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
4. Add test result reporting (JUnit XML)
**Estimated effort:** 2-3 days
### Phase 2: In-Kernel Test Harness (Short-term)
**Goal:** Structured test framework for firmware tests.
**Tasks:**
1. Create `kernel/src/test/` directory
2. Implement `uos_test.h` — test macros (`UOS_TEST`, `UOS_ASSERT`, `UOS_SKIP`)
3. Implement test runner — collects test results, outputs to UART
4. Port inline smoke tests to structured test cases
5. Add test discovery and registration
**Estimated effort:** 1-2 weeks
### Phase 3: Coverage in CI (Medium-term)
**Goal:** Automated code coverage measurement for kernel builds.
**Tasks:**
1. Integrate `uos_cins.py` into build process
2. Run instrumented firmware in QEMU
3. Extract and parse coverage data
4. Generate coverage reports in CI
5. Enforce coverage thresholds (start with 80%, increase to 100%)
**Estimated effort:** 2-3 weeks
### Phase 4: MC/DC for Critical Modules (Long-term)
**Goal:** Achieve DO-178C Level A compliance for critical modules.
**Tasks:**
1. Identify critical modules (scheduler, IPC, memory)
2. Write MC/DC test cases for each decision point
3. Justify unreachable paths formally
4. Generate compliance reports
**Estimated effort:** 1-2 months
### Phase 5: Performance & Stress Testing (Future)
**Goal:** Validate real-time guarantees and stability under load.
**Tasks:**
1. Define performance baselines (tick accuracy, IPC latency)
2. Create stress test scenarios (task overflow, memory exhaustion)
3. Automate performance regression detection
**Estimated effort:** 2-4 weeks
