Hi there,

One of the many Oneiric fwts blueprint action items was to create a wiki 
which explained each test and to explain and give context to the test 
failure messages.

I have now competed the documentation of the Firmware Test Suite and 
this include documenting each of the 50+ tests (which was a bit of a 
typing marathon to say the least!).  Each test has a brief description 
of what the test covers, example output from the test, how to run the 
test (possibly with different options) and explanations of test failure 
messages.

For example of the per-test documentation, check out:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/fwts/s3 (suspend/resume test page)
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/fwts/acpitables (ACPI tables 
test page)

and for the top level documentation page, check out:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/fwts

I hope this is useful!  Feel free to edit these pages and add more 
content if you see any omissions.

Colin
