AGL uses a combination of tools for its CI tests.

• AGL-JTA (a version of Fuego is the frontend - more information can be found here: AGL-JTA
• Lava as tool to manage the boards remotely.

Both tools can actually work independently, both can execute tests. We combine them to get the best out of both worlds:

• AGL-JTA/Fuego has an extensive predefined set of tests and strong reporting capabilities
• LAVA is capable and excels at managing single boards and board-farms (power-up, deployment of filesystem and so on) and exposes a remote API.

The setup supports multiple operation methods:

• Code-change trigger:
  • Gerrit triggers JTA, which runs the test. Board allocation and bring-up is handled by Lava.
• Scripted trigger:
  • Script triggers JTA, which runs the test. Board allocation and bring-up is handled by Lava.
• Manual trigger:
  • Manual trigger in JTA, which runs the test. Board allocation and bring-up is handled by Lava.
• Direct test:
  • Board allocation, bring-up and test execution through Lava.

A (WIP) documents describes the setup: SETUP.
