===============
Power Autotests
===============

This is the test plan for the Intel® DPDK Power library.

Description
===========

This section explains how to run the unit tests for Power features. The test 
can be launched independently using the command line interface. 
This test is implemented as a linuxapp environment application.

The complete test suite is launched automatically using a python-expect
script (launched using ``make test``) that sends commands to
the application and checks the results. A test report is displayed on
stdout.

The steps to run the unit test manually are as follow::


  # make -C ./app/test/
  # ./app/test/test -n 1 -c ffff
  RTE>> power_autotest
  
  
The final output of the test has to be "Test OK"
