  • Implementation of a Linux Kernel Module to Stress Test Memory Subsystems in X86 Architecture
    Robert Taylor Implementation of a Linux Kernel Module to Stress Test Memory Subsystems in x86 Architecture Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Information Technology 27th February 2011 Abstract Author(s) Robert Taylor Title Implementation of a Linux Kernel Module to Stress Test Memory Subsystems in x86 Architecture Number of Pages 36 pages Date 27 February 2011 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Software Engineering Antti Piironen, Dr (Project Supervisor) Instructors Janne Kilpelainen (Hardware Supervisor, NSN) Antti Virtaniemi (Software Supervisor, NSN) The aim of the project was to implement software which would stress test the memory subsystem of x86 based hardware for Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN). The software was to be used in the validation process of memory components during hardware develop- ment. NSN used a number of software tools during this process. However, none met all their requirements and a custom piece of software was required. NSN produced a detailed requirements specification which formed the basis of the project. The requirements left the implementation method open to the developer. After analysing the requirements document, a feasibility study was undertaken to determine the most fitting method of implementation. The feasibility study involved detailed discussions with senior engineers and architects within both the hardware and software fields at NSN. The study concluded that a Linux kernel module met the criteria best. The software was successfully implemented as a kernel module and met the majority of the requirements set by NSN. The software is currently in use at NSN and is being actively updated and maintained.

  • Design and Development of an Automated Regression Test Suite for UEFI
    Design and development of an automated regression test suite for UEFI Master Thesis Leading to a master’s degree in Automotive Software Engineering Professorship of Computer Engineering Faculty of Computer Science Submitted by: Huzaifa Saadat Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Hardt Mr. Bertram Metz Mr. Robert Fendt Augsburg, October 2014 Declaration of Authorship I, Huzaifa Saadat, assure that the thesis “Design and development of an automated regression test suite for UEFI” is my own work under the guidance of my supervisors. The data collected during the literature review and referred in this document is given due acknowledgement. All the references and helping materials are enlisted in the Bibliography with all sincerity. Signature: _____________________ Date: _________________________ i | P a g e Abstract Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard for implementing the basic firmware in the computers. This standard replaces BIOS. A huge amount of C code has been written for the implementation of UEFI. Yet there has been a very little focus on testing UEFI code. The thesis shows how the industry can perform a meaningful testing of UEFI. Spanning the test coverage with the help of test tools over all UEFI phases is a key objective. Moreover, techniques such as Test Driven Development and source code analysis are explained in terms of UEFI to make sure the bugs are minimized in the first place. The results show that the usage of test and analysis tools point to a large number of issues. Some of these issues can be fixed at a very early stage in the Software Development Life Cycle.
