== Framework ==
KVM autotest is the set of kvm tests implemented on top of the [http://autotest.github.com/ autotest] framework. The current documentation can be seen on the [https://github.com/autotest/autotest/wiki/KVMAutotest autotest wiki], please refer to it. We'll port the remaining items to the autotest issue tracker.


* <s>Verify MD5 sum of ISO image before starting a VM</s> [Michael] [DONE]
== Pradeep ==
* <s>Enable multiple user controlled port redirections (with -redir)</s> [Michael] [DONE]
* <s>Implement functions to translate VM ports and addresses (e.g. VM.get_port(), VM.get_address())</s> [Michael] [DONE]
* Support TAP networking with a user specified MAC address for each NIC [Michael]
* <s>Add <tt>display</tt> parameter to enable user control of the QEMU display method (VNC/SDL/nographic)</s> [Michael] [DONE]
* Implement VM.clone() -- to be used by tests that need to add new VMs by themselves [Michael]
* kickstart installation support
* kvm-autotest auto resolve qemu-kvm backtraces
* <s>Make sure ppm_utils.image_crop() handles bad input properly</s> [Michael] [DONE]
* Enable tests to modify a VM's params (while it's down) [Michael]
* Make tests shorter by using small utility functions that fail a test and display a failure message [Michael]
* <s>Improve the stepmaker data naming system (e.g. name PPM files according to their MD5 sums)</s> [Michael] [DONE]
* Redirect guest monitor to serial and capture guest error messages written to console. Log the errors and also scan for specific problems (e.g. oops)
* Support an "expected to fail" param (at least in our html report)
* Log a gdb-backtrace for tests (executables) which generate a core dump file.
* Enable "guest-load" for a VMs before/while tests are running (e.g. migration of a VM, while a movie is playing on it) [Michael]
* Add support for kvm-trace.
* Fail upon indentation/white-space problems in the configuration file
* Add a way to shutdown the VMs when the whole job completes (compared to doing nothing or shuting-down after every test). [Michael]
* <s>Implement <tt>include</tt> functionality in the config file parser</s> [Michael] [DONE]
