== 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.


* Fix problem with serial_login() - probably we forgot to setup the guest in a way that we hook up a getty in the serial port.
== Pradeep ==


* Add a BLOCKED status on the autotest database, that tells the user that some feature testing was left out due to a problem on its dependencies.
* SLES support - 
** Owner - Onkar n Mahajan (currently working)
** Expected delivery to community -


* Eventually get rid of all dependency on slirp/userspace networking to do any feature testing, since it is not a supported feature. Slipstreaming the kickstart in the install CD is a possibility, and it ends up being simpler than configuring an internal network thing for testing.
* virtio-blk disk serial # test (extend physical_resource_check test)
** Owner -

* Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer - assignee? Considerations: We would like to avoid slipstreaming the drivers in the iso cdrom, since we feel it is too messy. If after honest try we can't find another way, let's give slipstreaming a try.
* enhance virtio-blk hotplug test
** virsh based attach-disk/detach disk
** enumerate cloud scenarios (live add, reboot after, shutdown, etc.)
** migration after live add

* Re-schedule the unittest job on the autotest server. DONE
* Add use QED image format during tests.

** Expected delivery to community- 1-Dec-2011


* Multi host migration - 1 week to recap the patch that was sent by QA, improve on it, have an updated patch by then - lmr
* virsh stream.
Deadline: 09/15 - Could not meet it, has to postpone
** Owner -
New tentative deadline: 09/22
** Expected delivery to community-


* Libvirt integration - 1 week coordinating what it needs to be done, another 4 weeks (at least) implementing it - QA, lmr, mgoldish, help from libvirt developers
* pci-multi function testing (>32 virtio devices, disk and network)
Deadline: 09/15 - Could not meet it, has to postpone

* virtfs patch inclusion to autotest.
Tentative deadline: 09/22
** Owner -
** Expected delivery to community-


* 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]
* Windows support (ping, file_transfer, ... network tests needs to be added)
* Add a way to shutdown the VMs when the whole job completes (compared to doing nothing or shutting-down after every test) [Michael]
