Investigate CI for torokernel about torokernel

[MatiasVara]

This could be a posiblity to add CI at torokernel project by using Travis. See https://github.com/nielsAD/travis-lazarus

This is a very open ticket. I can just enumerate a few benefits of using CI in toro. However, I found this subject very interested. I have to think about how CI can help to toro development. It could be interested to have a test that can run every time toro has changed to validate the behavior of the kernel. So the first question should be How specify a test application for toro?

[MatiasVara]

• A test in toro should:
  • run an application in toro
  • after application finishes qemu VM should be killed
  • output to the serial console
  • qemu should redirect the output to a file
  • the serial output should be analyzed
• Different modules different tests

I created the branch testravisci to try CI in torokernel

[MatiasVara]

The aim of this ticket is to produce several tickets to tackle continuous integration in toro kernel

[MatiasVara]

I think we can do two main testing tasks by using CI:

1. Compile the examples for each push. This will verify that examples are not broken.
2. Compile and run tests. This could be a second step in which, after a push, we verify the behavior of toro kernel

• Regarding point 2, we should ask what we would like to test, e.g., memory leak, exception faults, performance, etc.
