Motivation¶

We have a test for undocumented test variables t/04-check_vars_docu.t but this one only checks for variables like $bmwqemu::vars and not uses of get_var or get_required_var in our backends. Also it is a good practice to not use the external API from testapi.pm in any internal implementations.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: use of get_var, check_var, set_var, get_required_var is prevented in backends
• AC2: undocumented test variables (or test variables used like get_var('FOO')) are prevented in backends

Suggestions¶

• Add a test, e.g. directly in t/04-check_vars_docu.t that fails if any get_var('FOO') or alike is encountered in backends, especially if FOO is not mentioned in docs/backend_vars.asciidoc
