Firmware Test Suite - uefirtvariable test

The uefirtvariable test checks the UEFI runtime service GetVariable, GetNextVariableName, SetVariable and QueryVariableInfo interfaces.

GetVariable tests

• tests the UEFI runtime service GetVariable interface by checking data, datasize and different attributes of variable

• stress test for UEFI runtime service interface GetVariable

SetVariable tests

• test SetVariable on two different GUIDs and the same variable name

• test SetVariable on the same and different variable data

• test SetVariable on similar variable name

• test SetVariable on DataSize is 0

• test SetVariable on Attributes is 0

• test SetVariable on Invalid Attributes

• stress tests for UEFI runtime interface SetVariable

  • test SetVariable on setting the variable with the same data

  • test SetVariable on setting the variable with different data

  • test SetVariable on setting the variable with different name

  • test SetVariable on setting the variable with different name and data

GetNextVariableName tests

• the runtime service GetNextVariableName interface function test

• check the GetNextVariableName returned value of VariableNameSize is equal to the length of VariableName

• test GetNextVariableName interface returns unique variables

• the GetNextVariableName interface conformance tests

QueryVariableInfo tests

• test the UEFI runtime service QueryVariableInfo interface

• stress test for UEFI runtime service interface QueryVariableInfo

Examples:

sudo fwts uefirtvariable -

..runs uefirtvariable on your machine and dumps the output to stdout.
