2022-09-12Makefile: Add a pcheck option to run tests in parallelSimon Glass
Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a 'make pcheck' option to access this feature. Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example, the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures. Update the documentation to represent the current state. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

2021-03-12doc: Explain briefly how to write new testsSimon Glass
Add a second on writing tests, covering when to use Python and C, where to put the tests, etc. Add a link to the existing Python test documentation. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

Add a few notes about the sandbox_spl tests, since they are special. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Acked-by: Pratyush Yadav <p.yadav@ti.com>
2021-03-12doc: Explain how to run tests without pytestSimon Glass
Add details about how to run a sandbox test directly, without using pytest. This is more convenient for rapid development, since it is faster and allows easier use of a debugger. Also mention sandbox_flattree as an example of the different sandbox builds available. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
