+# Integration tests
+
+## Running the integration tests with meson + mkosi
+
+To run the integration tests with meson + mkosi, make sure you're running the
+latest version of mkosi. See
+[`docs/HACKING.md`](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/test/README.md)
+for more specific details. Make sure `mkosi` is available in `$PATH` when
+reconfiguring meson to make sure it is picked up properly.
+
+We also need to make sure the required meson options are enabled:
+
+```shell
+$ meson setup --reconfigure build -Dremote=enabled
+```
+
+Next, we can build the integration test image:
+
+```shell
+$ meson compile -C build mkosi
+```
+
+After the image has been built, the integration tests can be run with:
+
+```shell
+$ SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 meson test -C build/ --suite integration-tests --num-processes "$(($(nproc) / 4))"
+```
+
+As usual, specific tests can be run in meson by appending the name of the test
+which is usually the name of the directory e.g.
+
+```shell
+$ SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 meson test -C build/ -v TEST-01-BASIC
+```
+
+See `meson introspect build --tests` for a list of tests.
+
+To interactively debug a failing integration test, the `--interactive` option
+(`-i`) for `meson test` can be used. Note that this requires meson v1.5.0 or
+newer:
+
+```shell
+$ SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 meson test -C build/ -i TEST-01-BASIC
+```
+
+Due to limitations in meson, the integration tests do not yet depend on the
+mkosi target, which means the mkosi target has to be manually rebuilt before
+running the integration tests. To rebuild the image and rerun a test, the
+following command can be used:
+
+```shell
+$ meson compile -C build mkosi && SYSTEMD_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 meson test -C build -v TEST-01-BASIC
+```
+
+The integration tests use the same mkosi configuration that's used when you run
+mkosi in the systemd reposistory, so any local modifications to the mkosi
+configuration (e.g. in `mkosi.local.conf`) are automatically picked up and used
+by the integration tests as well.
+
+## Running the integration tests the old fashioned way
+
The extended testsuite only works with UID=0. It consists of the subdirectories
-named "test/TEST-??-*", each of which contains a description of an OS image and
+named `test/TEST-??-*`, each of which contains a description of an OS image and
a test which consists of systemd units and scripts to execute in this image.
The same image is used for execution under `systemd-nspawn` and `qemu`.
To run the extended testsuite do the following:
+```shell
$ ninja -C build # Avoid building anything as root later
$ sudo test/run-integration-tests.sh
ninja: Entering directory `/home/zbyszek/src/systemd/build'

If one of the tests fails, then $subdir/test.log contains the log file of
the test.

-Specifying the build directory

If the build directory is not detected automatically, it can be specified

+```
or
+```shell
$ sudo make -C test/TEST-01-BASIC BUILD_DIR=../../some-other-build/ ...

An absolute path may also be used in both cases.

In some situations one may want/need to run one of the tests run by Ubuntu CI

the same Ubuntu release as is used by Ubuntu CI (Jammy ATTOW).

-Code coverage
-=============
+## Running Coverity locally
+
+Note: this requires a Coverity license, as the public tool
+[tarball](https://scan.coverity.com/download) doesn't contain cov-analyze and
+friends, so the usefulness of this guide is somewhat limited.
+
+Debugging certain pesky Coverity defects can be painful, especially since the
+OSS Coverity instance has a very strict limit on how many builds we can send it
+per day/week, so if you have an access to a non-OSS Coverity license, knowing
+how to debug defects locally might come in handy.
+
+After installing the necessary tooling we need to populate the emit DB first:
+
+```shell
+$ rm -rf build cov
+$ meson setup build -Dman=false
+$ cov-build --dir=./cov ninja -C build
+```
+
+From there it depends if you're interested in a specific defect or all of them.
+For the latter run:
+
+```shell
+$ cov-analyze --dir=./cov --wait-for-license
+```
+
+If you want to debug a specific defect, telling that to cov-analyze speeds
+things up a bit:
+
+```shell
+$ cov-analyze --dir=./cov --wait-for-license --disable-default --enable ASSERT_SIDE_EFFECT
+```
+
+The final step is getting the actual report which can be generated in multiple
+formats, for example:
+
+```shell
+$ cov-format-errors --dir ./cov --text-output-style multiline
+$ cov-format-errors --dir=./cov --emacs-style
+$ cov-format-errors --dir=./cov --html-output html-out
+```
+
+Which generate a text report, an emacs-compatible text report, and an HTML
+report respectively.
+
+Other useful options for cov-format-error include `--file <file>` to filter out
+defects for a specific file, `--checker-regex DEFECT_TYPE` to filter our only a
+specific defect (if this wasn't done already by cov-analyze), and many others,
