+ KUnit tests are often compiled as a separate module. To avoid conflicting
192
+ with regular modules, KUnit modules should be named after the test suite,
193
+ followed by ``_kunit `` (e.g. if "foobar" is the core module, then
194
+ "foobar_kunit" is the KUnit test module).

- The easiest way of achieving this is to name the file containing the test suite
196
- ``<suite>_test.c `` (or, as above, ``<suite>_kunit.c ``). This file should be
197
- placed next to the code under test.
196
+ Test source files, whether compiled as a separate module or an
197
+ ``#include `` in another source file, are best kept in a ``tests/ ``
198
+ subdirectory to not conflict with other source files (e.g. for
199
+ tab-completion).

201
+ Note that the ``_test `` suffix has also been used in some existing
202
+ tests. The ``_kunit `` suffix is preferred, as it makes the distinction
203
+ between KUnit and non-KUnit tests clearer.
204

205
+ So for the common case, name the file containing the test suite
206
+ ``tests/<suite>_kunit.c ``. The ``tests `` directory should be placed at
207
+ the same level as the code under test. For example, tests for
208
+ ``lib/string.c `` live in ``lib/tests/string_kunit.c ``.
