+# Integration of the Xen Test Framework (XTF) into OpenEmbedded QA
+#
+# Since not all XTF test cases are appropriate for all test environments,
+# images or machine configurations the selection of XTF test cases to run
+# is determined by variables that can be set in an image recipe.
+#
+# * XTF_TEST_CASES_POPULATE
+# Specifies the list of queries passed to xtf-runner to populate the test list.
+# eg. 'pv64 livepatch-priv-check'
+#
+# Since the space character is meaningful and may be required within a populate clause,
+# the '|' character is used for separating multiple queries.
+# eg. 'pv64 livepatch-priv-check|pv32pae selftest'
+#
+# * XTF_TEST_CASES_SKIP
+# A space-separate list of test cases that should be skipped even if returned
+# from the queries specified in XTF_TEST_CASES_POPULATE.
+# eg. 'test-pv64-livepatch-priv-check'
+#
+# * XTF_TEST_CASES_REQUIRE
+# A space-separate list of test cases that must not be skipped even if missing
+# from the results of the queries specified in XTF_TEST_CASES_POPULATE.
+
+#----------
+# The default single test case here is chosen because it exercises XTF
+# and just Xen itself rather than any specifics of the hardware
+# (virtual or not) that Xen is running on.
+# TODO: this is an x86-specific test - revisit this choice when XTF supports Arm
+DEFAULT_POPULATE = 'pv64 livepatch-priv-check'
