Checkbox began as a script called hwtest and was written by people at Canonical. As the initial script grew into a more functional test harness, it was renamed "Checkbox" and has been the testing tool used for Ubuntu certification for many years. The upstream checkbox project is fully open sourced as is the OCP branch of Checkbox. Anyone can contribute code to the tool at any time. | Checkbox began as a script called hwtest and was written by people at Canonical.

At this time, the upstream checkbox code is in maintenance only mode and no new enhancements or features will be added to the code base. Upstream, the background code for the test tools is being replaced with a new tool referred to as Plainbox. Plainbox provides a cleaner interface and several improvements over the older Checkbox code. Work is actively under way to port OCP test tools to the new Plainbox back end. | |||
opencompute-certification is a new package that is responsible for providing the test launcher and whitelists and certification specific job files and scripts that are not already a part of the plainbox toolset from Canonical. This next generation test harness is a complete, ground-up replacement for the old Checkbox, designed from the ground up to be modular, extensible, useful, and adaptable. It is under very active development and because of the new process for maintaining packaging for OCP Certification, testers should always have the latest bug fixes made available. | opencompute-certification is a new package that is responsible for providing the test launcher and whitelists and certification specific job files and scripts that are not already a part of the plainbox toolset from Canonical.
