[$] The 2019 Automated Testing Summit

This year saw the second edition of the AutomatedTesting Summit (ATS) and the first that was open to all. Last year's ATS was an invitation-onlygathering of around 35 developers (that was described in an LWN article),while this year's event attractedaround 50 attendees; both were held in conjunction with theEmbedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE), in Edinburgh, Scotland for 2018and in Lyon, France this year. The basic problem has not changed-morecollaboration is needed between the different kernel testing systems-butthe starting points have been identified and work is progressing, albeitslowly. Part of the problem, of course, is that all of these testingefforts have their own constituencies and customers, who must be kept upand running, even while any of this collaborative development is going on.
