Enable code coverage through the library 'python coverage'. In case the environment variable COVERAGE_PROCESS_START is present (one of the requisites for measuring sub-processes; the second one is including some coverage statements into the python sitecustomize.py file) it will be taken into account, otherwise it is exported with value '.coveragerc'. The latter value is a configuration file (also automatically created) with some default settings. Once tests are executed, a coverage report is shown on the log and the coverage output data is stored with name '.coverage.<args>' where '<args>' is the name of the unit tests executed or 'all_tests' when running with --run-all-tests. This output data can be latter used for better reporting using the same tool (coverage). As briefly indicate before, measuring sub-process implies setting the env variable COVERAGE_PROCESS_START (done automatically by the oe-selftest code with this patch if not already set) and creating a sitecustomize.py as explained on [1]. If either one of these is missing, complete coverage will be incomplete. Current measurements for 'oe-selftest --run-all-tests' indicate that current coverage is around 42 % taking into account BBLAYERS, bitbake and scripts folders. More details on [2], indicating the coverage per file/module.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
