The test_importer script helps to show information about the test in the web interface. The test listing you are referring to is what is set on the NAME variable of the sample control file. Example: AUTHOR = 'Martin Bligh <mbl...@google.com>' DOC = ''' description rt test utils URL http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/rt-tests.git ''' NAME = 'cyclic_test' TIME = 'MEDIUM' ## ? EXPERIMENTAL = 'True' TEST_CLASS = 'kernel' TEST_CATEGORY = 'Functional' TEST_TYPE = 'client' job.run_test('cyclictest') NAME='Signal Test' AUTHOR='Michal Piotrowski <michal.k.k.piotrow...@gmail.com>' TIME='SHORT' TEST_TYPE='client' TEST_CLASS='Kernel' TEST_CATEGORY='Functional' DOC='''\ Test signal passing to processes ''' job.run_test('signaltest') I agree that we can standardize the naming, however this NAME is not used on the cli -t value. The actual value is used from the name of the directory under client/tests. So bottom line, focus on the directory names, rather than the NAME variable. This variable is more a human readable name to help people browsing through the web interface. That said, we are happily accepting patches that make all NAME variables on all control files uniform.
