testpmd is fine, but make test should be preferred as it requires no setup
and it requires no pmd to be configured.
Besides, testpmd is an application, it does not test libraries that it does
not use, while make test is supposed to test all libraries.


There is still the hugepages to configure when running make test so I would
say "make test" should tell you so.
This will avoid wasting 10 minutes to understand why all your tests fail ...

Can anyone help document this / make it more user friendly / easier ?
