Tests

  • Find out how to use Autotest's netperf test with guests
  • If needed, write a netperf/iperf test
  • Write a time drift test (pic/apic/pm_timer)
  • Write a test which adds VMs until one of them becomes unresponsive, and records the maximum number of VMs successfully started.
  • cpu hotplug - Glauber
  • pci net hot plug -Glauber
  • pci block hot plug -Glauber
  • s3 hibernation [Gleb] [DONE]
  • tap networking
  • pxe boot * net types

  • qcow2 internal snapshots
  • Run autotest tests inside Linux guest [Michael] [ALREADY DONE]
  • Further migration
  • Multiple nics
  • ksm
  • -vga stg, nographics
  • kvm unit-tests
  • Add unattended guest installations (using kickstart or answer-files)
  • kvm_install -- keep src and build directories under <kvm_autotest_root> instead of under kvm_runtest_2.
  • Stable tsc test - http://people.redhat.com/mingo/time-warp-test/MINI-HOWTO
  • Guest installation with pv-block device/driver (for both windows and Linux)

Misc
