+===========
+Meson tests
+===========
+
+Description
+===========
+This test plan describes how to run unit tests with meson.
+Test tests have been classified into five different groups.
+
+- Fast tests.
+- Performance tests.
+- Driver tests.
+- Extra tests.
+- Debug tests.
+
+For more details, please refer to `Running DPDK Unit Tests with Meson <http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/meson_ut.html>`_.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Required Libraries
+------------------
+* crypto relative cases require dependencies `libIPSec_MB` and `libcrypto`::
+
+     cryptodev_aesni_mb_autotest
+     cryptodev_aesni_gcm_autotest
+     cryptodev_null_autotest
+     cryptodev_openssl_autotest
+     cryptodev_openssl_asym_autotest
+     cryptodev_qat_autotest
+     cryptodev_sw_kasumi_autotest
+     cryptodev_sw_snow3g_autotest
+     cryptodev_sw_zuc_autotest
+     cryptodev_scheduler_autotest
+
+  .. note::
+
+     For more details, please refer to `Crypto Device Drivers <http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/cryptodevs/index.html>`_
+
+* The following cases require dependencies `libpcap`::
+
+   bpf_convert_autotest
+   eal_flags_mem_autotest
+   flow_classify_autotest
+   efd_autotest
+   efd_perf_autotest
+
+General set up
+--------------
+
+* Compile DPDK::
+
+    # CC=gcc meson --werror -Denable_kmods=True -Dlibdir=lib --default-library=static <dpdk build dir>
+    # ninja -C <dpdk build dir> -j 110
+
+* Load rte_kni driver::
+
+    # lsmod | grep rte_kni
+    # rmmod rte_kni.ko
+    # insmod ./<dpdk build dir>/kmod/rte_kni.ko lo_mode=lo_mode_fifo
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Test case fast-tests/kni_autotest requires to load kni.ko.
+
+* Get the pci device id and interface of DUT and tester.
+   For example, 0000:18:00.0 and 0000:18:00.1 is pci device id,
+   ens785f0 and ens785f1 is interface::
+
+    <dpdk dir># ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s
+	...
+    0000:18:00.0 'Device 159b' if=ens785f0 drv=ice unused=vfio-pci
+    0000:18:00.1 'Device 159b' if=ens785f1 drv=ice unused=vfio-pci
+
+* Bind the DUT port to dpdk::
+
+    <dpdk dir># ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 0000:18:00.0 0000:18:00.1
+
+.. note::
+
+   kni_autotest requires at least one ethernet port, but other can be none.
+
+Test case
+=========
+
+Test case 1: test_fasts
+-------------------------------
+This section explains how to run the meson tests for fast-tests.
+
+test steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Run test on DUT::
+
+    meson test -C x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc --suite DPDK:fast-tests -t 1 --test-args="-c 0xff"
+
+   * `-t` is used to specify the timeout of test case, unit is second.
+   * `--test-args option` is used to specify test specific parameters,
+     distributor_autotest and distributor_perf_autotest require core number less than 64.
+
+2. Open and view the results on DUT::
+
+    <dpdk dir># cat ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/meson-logs/testlog.txt
+
+3. Check the result output log. All case results are "OK", for example::
+
+    1/99 DPDK:fast-tests / acl_autotest                   OK              3.43s
+    2/99 DPDK:fast-tests / atomic_autotest                OK              6.21s
+    3/99 DPDK:fast-tests / bitmap_autotest                OK              1.18s
+    4/99 DPDK:fast-tests / bpf_autotest                   OK              1.17s
+    5/99 DPDK:fast-tests / bpf_convert_autotest           OK              1.19s
+
+Test case 2: test_driver
+-------------------------------
+This section explains how to run the meson tests for driver-tests.
+
+test steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Run test on DUT::
+
+    meson test -C x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc --suite DPDK:driver-tests -t 1 --test-args="-c 0xff"
+
+2. Following test case 1 step 2 and step 3.
+
+Test case 3: test_debug
+-------------------------------
+This section explains how to run the meson tests for debug-tests.
+
+test steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Run test on DUT::
+
+    meson test -C x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc --suite DPDK:debug-tests -t 1 --test-args="-c 0xff"
+
+2.Following test case 1 step 2 and step 3.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   `The bug <https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002>_` impacts the following cases::
+
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_struct_sizes
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_mempool
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_malloc_stats
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_devargs
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_log_types
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_ring
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_physmem
+      DPDK:debug-tests/dump_memzone
+
+Test case 4: test_extra
+-------------------------------
+This section explains how to run the meson tests for extra-tests.
+
+test steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Run test on DUT::
+
+    meson test -C x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc --suite DPDK:extra-tests -t 1 --test-args="-c 0xff"
+
+2. Following test case 1 step 2 and step 3.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Extra-tests are know issues which are recorded in app/test/meson.build::
+
+    #Tests known to have issues or which don't belong in other tests lists.
+    extra_test_names = [
+            'alarm_autotest', # ee00af60170b ("test: remove strict timing requirements some tests")
+            'cycles_autotest', # ee00af60170b ("test: remove strict timing requirements some tests")
+            'delay_us_sleep_autotest', # ee00af60170b ("test: remove strict timing requirements some tests")
+            'red_autotest', # https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=826]
+
+Test case 5: test_perf
+-------------------------------
+This section explains how to run the meson tests for perf-tests.
+
+test steps
+~~~~~~~~~~
+1. Run test on DUT::
+
+    meson test -C x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc --suite DPDK:perf-tests -t 1 --test-args="-c 0xff"
+
+2. Following test case 1 step 2 and step 3.
