Individual skill
testing-debugging
Testing and debugging for Zephyr RTOS. Covers the Ztest framework for unit and integration tests, the Twister test runner for automated HIL/SIM validation, and advanced tracing/debugging techniques (SystemView, Thread Analyzer, Stack analysis). Trigger when writing unit tests, setting up CI/CD pipelines, or analyzing system performance and latency.

# Zephyr Testing & Debugging
Ensure code quality and system reliability using Zephyr's comprehensive testing framework and observability tools.
## Core Workflows
### 1. Ztest Framework
Write robust unit and integration tests for native simulation and real hardware.
- **Reference**: **[ztest_framework.md](references/ztest_framework.md)**
- **Key Tools**: `ZTEST_SUITE`, `ZTEST`, `zassert_equal`.
### 2. Twister Test Runner
Automate test execution across multiple platforms and generate professional reports.
- **Reference**: **[twister_testing.md](references/twister_testing.md)**
