Bug ID: 1567
Summary: dts: Replace the helloworld testsuite with a testsuite
which starts testpmd but does nothing
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: DTS
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

This morning during the DTS call we discussed how we were removing the build process method for building example apps (example apps will not be used in new DTS) and remove the helloworld testsuite accordingly.

The question was raised of whether the helloworld testsuite has any actual value and whether it should be replaced or not. One point made was that running the helloworld suite can be a sanity check for a user, showing that they have setup their environment correctly, and are running the testsuite correctly. So, there may be a use case for continuing to provide such a testsuite which essentially does nothing.

Paul proposed that we replace it with a suite which just starts testpmd, does nothing (or something inconsequential) and then stops.
