QTest is a device emulation testing framework. It can be very useful to test device models; it could also control certain aspects of QEMU (such as virtual clock stepping), with a special purpose “qtest” protocol. Refer to QTest Protocol for more details of the protocol.

QTest cases can be executed with

    make check-qtest

The QTest library is implemented by `tests/qtest/libqtest.c` and the API is defined in `tests/qtest/libqtest.h`.

Consider adding a new QTest case when you are introducing a new virtual hardware, or extending one if you are adding functionalities to an existing virtual device.

On top of libqtest, a higher level library, `libqos`, was created to encapsulate common tasks of device drivers, such as memory management and communicating with system buses or devices. Many virtual device tests use libqos instead of directly calling into libqtest. Libqos also offers the Qgraph API to increase each test coverage and automate QEMU command line arguments and devices setup. Refer to Qtest Driver Framework for Qgraph explanation and API.

Steps to add a new QTest case are:

1. Create a new source file for the test. (More than one file can be added as necessary.) For example, `tests/qtest/foo-test.c`.

2. Write the test code with the glib and libqtest/libqos API. See also existing tests and the library headers for reference.

3. Register the new test in `tests/qtest/meson.build`. Add the test executable name to an appropriate `qtests_*` variable. There is one variable per architecture, plus `qtests_generic` for tests that can be run for all architectures. For example:

       qtests_generic = [
         ...
         'foo-test',
         ...
       ]

4. If the test has more than one source file or needs to be linked with any dependency other than `qemuutil` and `qos`, list them in the `qtests` dictionary. For example a test that needs to use the `QIO` library will have an entry like:

       {
         ...
         'foo-test': [io],
         ...
       }

Debugging a QTest failure is slightly harder than the unit test because the tests look up QEMU program names in the environment variables, such as `QTEST_QEMU_BINARY` and `QTEST_QEMU_IMG`, and also because it is not easy to attach gdb to the QEMU process spawned from the test. But manual invoking and using gdb on the test is still simple to do: find out the actual command from the output of

    make check-qtest V=1

which you can run manually.

## QTest Protocol

Line based protocol, request/response based. Server can send async messages so clients should always handle many async messages before the response comes in.

Extra ASCII space characters in command inputs are permitted and ignored. Lines containing only spaces are permitted and ignored.

### Valid requests

#### Clock management:

The qtest client is completely in charge of the QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL. qtest commands let you adjust the value of the clock (monotonically). All the commands return the current value of the clock in nanoseconds.

If the commands FAIL then time wasn’t advanced which is likely because the machine was in a paused state or no timer events exist in the future. This will cause qtest to abort and the test will need to check its assumptions.

    > clock_step
    < OK VALUE

Advance the clock to the next deadline. Useful when waiting for asynchronous events.

    > clock_step NS
    < OK VALUE

Advance the clock by NS nanoseconds.

    > clock_set NS
    < OK VALUE

Advance the clock to NS nanoseconds (do nothing if it’s already past).

#### PIO and memory access:

    > outb ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > outw ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > outl ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > inb ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > inw ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > inl ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > writeb ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > writew ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > writel ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > writeq ADDR VALUE
    < OK

    > readb ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > readw ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > readl ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > readq ADDR
    < OK VALUE

    > read ADDR SIZE
    < OK DATA

    > write ADDR SIZE DATA
    < OK

    > b64read ADDR SIZE
    < OK B64_DATA

    > b64write ADDR SIZE B64_DATA
    < OK

    > memset ADDR SIZE VALUE
    < OK

ADDR, SIZE, VALUE are all integers parsed with strtoul() with a base of 0. For ‘memset’ a zero size is permitted and does nothing.

DATA is an arbitrarily long hex number prefixed with ‘0x’. If it’s smaller than the expected size, the value will be zero filled at the end of the data sequence.

B64_DATA is an arbitrarily long base64 encoded string. If the sizes do not match, the data will be truncated.

#### IRQ management:

    > irq_intercept_in QOM-PATH
    < OK

    > irq_intercept_out QOM-PATH
    < OK

Attach to the gpio-in (resp. gpio-out) pins exported by the device at QOM-PATH. When the pin is triggered, one of the following async messages will be printed to the qtest stream:

    IRQ raise NUM
    IRQ lower NUM

where NUM is an IRQ number. For the PC, interrupts can be intercepted simply with “irq_intercept_in ioapic” (note that IRQ0 comes out with NUM=0 even though it is remapped to GSI 2).

#### Setting interrupt level:

    > set_irq_in QOM-PATH NAME NUM LEVEL
    < OK

where NAME is the name of the irq/gpio list, NUM is an IRQ number and LEVEL is an signed integer IRQ level.

Forcibly set the given interrupt pin to the given level.
