## More information on KUnit
There is a bunch of documentation near the end of this patch set that describes how to use KUnit and best practices for writing unit tests. For convenience I am hosting the compiled docs here: https://google.github.io/kunit-docs/third_party/kernel/docs/
Nice! I've been using mocking techniques in kernel code for the libnvdimm test infrastructure in tools/testing/nvdimm/. It's part unit test infrastructure, part emulation, and I've always had the feeling it's all a bit too adhoc. I'm going to take a look and see what can be converted to kunit. Please include linux-nvdimm@lists.01.org on future postings.
Great to hear!
Interesting, is this kind of like the nfsim stuff?
I'll shamelessly plug my lwn article about unit testing https://lwn.net/Articles/654071/ because it's always good to find fellow co-travelers to compare notes and advocate for more test oriented kernel development.
Most definitely! I will take a look, and be in touch.
Cheers!
