> So far, we only enabled one platform to run automatic testing.
> This platform installed Fedora 20 with Linux 3.18.9 and Intel Niantic NIC.

Thanks for offering this service.

> Currently the patch testing only run unit test and basic function test on this platform.
> It can make sure that new patch doesn't break original code and functions.
> Due to coverage limitation, it can't verify the functionality of new patch.
> If you want to verify your patch's new function, you need to check with tester and perform specific testing on it.
> 
> Since platform limitation, we are not able to verify regression test on other NIC, Linux kernel.
> We plan to add more platforms and support different NIC and kernels in the future.
