Abstract: Example implementations relate to system management mode (SMM) test operations. For example, a system for SMM test operations may include a test mode initiation engine to reboot a computing device, and load an interface firmware engine into system management random access memory (SMRAM) associated with the computing device in response to the reboot, wherein the interface firmware engine includes a production interface firmware engine to perform the test operation on a known address space of the page of SMRAM. The system may include a test operation engine to cause the computing system to operate in a testing mode, wherein the testing mode includes operating the computing system in system management mode (SMM), in response to a test command, and perform a test operation on a page of system management random access memory (SMRAM) associated with the computing device when the computing device is operating in SMM.
