Hi Kishor,

Please see some comments below about AppCDS test.

>                                   3) No tests are run, all are skipped. Do you know if appCDS does not work with certain flags. I use jtreg flag -javaoptions:"-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:AllocateOldGenAt=/home/kishor".

The EmptyClassInBootClassPath.java failure is a known issue: 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213299

The two tests with error require -nativepath. You can build the test 
native image with 'make test-image', then set -nativepath to 
images/test/hotspot/jtreg/native in your build.

Thanks,
