* Follow the code conventions of the existing code.
* Include the update to the specific document if you add new cases or new configurations.
	* If a new test case is added to a test suite, the corresponding test design specification must be updated.
	* If a new configuration is added to a test suite, the corresponding user guide must be updated.

After we receive the pull request, we will do code review and give you feedback.
