The Trusted Firmware-A Tests (TF-A-Tests) is a suite of baremetal tests to
exercise the `Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A)`_ features from the Normal World. It
enables strong TF-A functional testing without dependency on a Rich OS. It
mainly interacts with TF-A through its SMC interface.

It provides a basis for TF-A developers to validate their own platform ports and
add their own test cases.

Getting started
---------------

Get the TF-A Tests source code from `trustedfirmware.org`_.

See the `User Guide`_ for instructions on how to install, build and use the TF-A
Tests.

See the `Design Guide`_ for information on how the TF-A Tests internally work.

See the `Porting Guide`_ for information about how to use this software on
another Armv8-A platform.

See the `Contributing Guidelines`_ for information on how to contribute to this
project.
