Unit test framework training shows how to improve firmware code quality and incorporate unit testing with code reviews included with the CI.
The Unit Test Framework uses the EDK II existing interfaces and libraries to create a test harness for the code under test.
The training will go over CI rules for including unit test code for building & running the unit test host code.The steps to include the Unit Test Framework functions include: Initialize, Create test suites, Add and Run unit tests with its framework. You can learn more in the training.
