Individual tools are tested separated while compiling and major feature of QDSP6 processor tools chain is also tested on TRACE32 simulator.
Role & Contribution:
Involve in process planning.
Ownership for testing of Linker, Debugger and Simulator.
Involve in testing of other binutils.
Test Planning, Test case preparation and Testing.
Responsible for creating testing infrastructure and handling regression test suit.
Implement test cases for QDSP6 tools chain such as Assembler, Linker, Debugger, Simulator, and Profiler.
Responsible to test QDSP6 debugger specific feature using TCL.
Tested QDSP6 RTOS feature for debugger support.
Responsible for setting TCL framework for nightly regression/QA automation for tool chain.
Implement makefile infrastructure to test TRACE32 debugger with QDSP6 processor tool chain.
Provide support for nightly build and release of tool chain.
