Overview
CI Testing is the principle of automated continuous integration testing to validate builds and functionality across platforms.
Description
This principle covers the continuous integration testing infrastructure that automatically builds and tests llama.cpp across multiple platforms, compilers, and configurations. The CI pipeline ensures that changes do not break existing functionality, that all supported platforms continue to build successfully, and that key functionality tests pass before changes are merged.
Usage
Apply this principle when adding new features or modifying existing code to ensure that the CI pipeline validates the changes, when extending CI coverage to new platforms or configurations, or when debugging CI failures.
Theoretical Basis
Continuous integration testing follows the principle of early and frequent validation. Each code change triggers an automated pipeline that builds the project across supported configurations (different operating systems, compilers, build options, hardware backends) and runs a test suite. The CI script orchestrates the build and test process, handling platform-specific build commands, test execution, and result reporting. This automated validation catches integration issues, platform-specific bugs, and regressions before they reach production, significantly reducing the cost of finding and fixing defects.
