If a bot testing project has its own page we provide references to their page, otherwise this wiki is used as the home for documenting such efforts. These pages will also document whether or not these bots send out reports, who runs the reports / scripts/ who sends the reports or fixes, and how often. Sometimes projects do not specify these things but its important maintainers and develoeprs are aware of how things were intended to be used.

-These are the semantic tests in place in the kernel under the '''​coccicheck'''​ target of the top level Makefile. ​These tests consists of a series of semantic patches written in Semantic Patch Language (SmPL) and make use of the [[http://​coccinelle.lip6.fr/​|Coccinelle engine]]. They can help you vet for correctness and avoid certain bugs which have been able to be expressed semantically. +These are the semantic tests in place in the kernel under the '''​coccicheck'''​ target of the top level Makefile. ​For more details refer to the [[coccicheck]] page.

-SmPL patches exist for these different types of categories:​ +
- +
-  * api: help vet for correctness when using certain APIs +
-  * free: avoid freeing bugs +
-  * iterator: help vet for correctness when using kernel iterators +
-  * locks: vet for correct locking behaviour and avoid bugs +
-  * misc: things not covered in any of the other categories +
-  * null: avoid null bugs +
-  * tests: certain tests which are known to help with consistent kernel use+

-  * Marvin - runs on the server and one instance exists per test machine. It checks the queue, prepares the test machine and executes tests when the machine is ready. +
-  * Configuration Manager: responsible for reserving machines for exclusive use, managing power, managing serial consoles and deploying distributions automatically.+
