While the lists are used mainly for development, user queries are welcome. No need to subscribe for a one-off question, just send an email. You may also want to check the various qemu resources on the web, as kvm shares the qemu user interface and networking.

Please observe the usual mailing list etiquette: don't top-post, and trim excess quotations from the mail you are replying to.

Don't post to individual kvm developers directly.

== IRC ==

Join us on '''#kvm''' at [http://freenode.net Freenode]. Don't report serious bugs on IRC; they're liable to get lost. Use the list or the [[Bugs|bug tracker]].

KVM-Autotest

= KVM-Autotest =

The KVM-Autotest system is a client test for the [http://autotest.kernel.org/ autotest] framework. Its main purpose is to serve as an automated regression testing tool for KVM developers, and for doing regular automated testing of KVM (provided you use it with the server testing infrastructure).

* [[KVM-Autotest/Parameters|Framework parameters]] - Lists and explains the parameters used by the framework.

* [[KVM-Autotest/AddNewGuests|Adding New Step files]] - The default install mode for most guests now is the unattended install, but for some guests, we might need to use step based install. This explains how to do so.
