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.

* The reason is that we should implement things like job submission and the kvm autotest wrapper properly on top of the parametrized control file feature, that is currently halfway implemented

* pci-multi function testing (>32 virtio devices, disk and network)
** test out max number of virtio blk and nic devices

** Move kvm autotest libraries to client/bin directory, so every client side test can use
* virtfs patch inclusion to autotest.
** Review xen-autotest to see what are the differences between our vm class and theirs. Hopefully in the future, xen-autotest and libvirt-autotest will be only different vm implementations of our virt-autotest framework :)

* Set up a qemu-block job, with kwolf's qemu-block tree
* Set up a vhost job, with the upstream job (mst's trees for kernel and userspace)
* 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.
* 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.
* Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer

* Enable "guest-load" for a VMs before/while tests are running (e.g. migration of a VM, while a movie is playing on it)
** This may just be a matter of moving useful code from tests to kvm_test_utils.py to make it reusable
 
=== done ===
 
* Post-commit review of new network patches (committed on Oct 7 2010)
* Use more exceptions in utility functions:
** Add convenience functions to kvm_subprocess.py to make running shell commands shorter
** Add convenience functions to the VM class
* Refactor _get_command_output() and friends in kvm_monitor.py and add cmd_raw(), cmd_obj() and cmd_qmp() as required by Luiz Capitulino's test suite
* Use select() instead of sleep() in kvm_monitor.py
* Simplify migration code if possible (in kvm_vm.py and kvm_test_utils.py)
* Fix VM.get_ifname() somehow (uses self.vnc_port -- bad)
