description: "\n    <p>  \n      A self_test is a service call provided by a node\
  \ that triggers a\n      test of the driver and any associated hardware. This service\
  \ call can\n      be used by users to quickly verify that a device or process is\
  \ working.\n      Currently self-tests are mainly used with drivers, but nothing\n\
  \      precludes non-driver nodes using them.\n    </p>\n    <p>  \n      The self_test\
  \ package contains tools to for calling the self-test\n      service from the command-line,\
  \ or from a regression test. It also\n      provides a C++ API for facilitating\
  \ writing of self-tests.  \n    </p>\n  "
