Actually, speaking of test suites, the obvious one is the NetBSD test suite, which was one of the original motivations for rump kernels. (Only later did we realize that since we have this entire kernel stack of drivers which run $everywhere, we could also, among other things, run fullblown application of top of it a la unikernels) I wrote a blog post about using rump kernels for testing NetBSD in 2010: http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/revolutionizing_kernel_development_testing_with (yes, it's old, it doesn't even use correct terminology: sometimes uses "rump" as the shorthand for "rump kernel" ... however, it's still reasonably accurate) Chapter 4.5 of the first edition of the book (linked from book.rumpkernel.org) provides some further analysis of the tests and their effectiveness. Now, granted, that test suite does not run _on top_ of a rump kernel. Rather, it runs of top of the full NetBSD OS but _uses_ rump kernels. The implication of the NetBSD project periodically executing the test suite is what allows us to just start using the known-working code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
