I have been looking at writing a couple of tests for ntoskrl functions but I have had difficulty locating a suitable place. It sort of looks like ntdll/tests is the place but it is not clear. Is there a guide for locating this one?
I think the problem with ntoskrnl tests is that they have to come in form of a Windows device driver. I think so far Wine and Mingw lack the capability to build such drivers. Also running such tests will require Admin privileges on Windows, and impose security problems. (Of course the tests could be skipped if the user lacks prilvileges to load the test)
A lot of tests depend on admin privileges, and especially the MSI tests cause a lot of clicking on error boxes if you accidently run them as a mundane user.
