title: Plugin: Test
---

## Introduction

This plugin is used when running the self tests in the fwupd project.

## GUID Generation

The devices created by this plugin use hardcoded GUIDs that do not correspond
to any kind of DeviceInstanceId values.

In other cases devices use the standard BLE DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.

* `USB\VID_2DC8&PID_AB11`

## Vendor ID Security

The fake device is only for local testing and thus requires no vendor ID set.

## External Interface Access

This plugin requires no extra access.

## Version Considerations

This plugin has been available since fwupd version `0.8.0`.
