KVM-Autotest To-Do list

Framework

~~Verify MD5 sum of ISO image before starting a VM~~ [DONE]
~~Enable multiple user controlled port redirections (with -redir)~~ [DONE]
~~Implement functions to translate VM ports and addresses (e.g. VM.get_port(), VM.get_address())~~ [DONE]
Support TAP networking with a user specified MAC address for each NIC
~~Add display parameter to enable user control of the QEMU display method (VNC/SDL/nographic)~~ [DONE]
Implement VM.clone() -- to be used by tests that need to add new VMs by themselves
kickstart installation support
kvm-autotest auto resolve qemu-kvm backtraces
Make sure ppm_utils.image_crop() handles bad input properly
Enable tests to modify a VM's params (while it's down)
Make tests shorter by using small utility functions that fail a test and display a failure message
Improve the stepmaker data naming system (e.g. name PPM files according to their MD5 sums)
Redirect guest monitor to serial and capture guest error messages written to console
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)
Add support for kvm-trace.
Ignore, Warn, or even 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).

Find out how to use Autotest's netperf test with guests
If needed, write a netperf/iperf test
Write a time drift test
Write a test which adds VMs until one of them becomes unresponsive, and records the maximum number of VMs successfully started.

tap networking
pxe boot * net types
qcow1, qcow2, vmdk, vhd
qcow2 internal snapshots
~~Run autotest tests inside Linux guest~~ [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.

Goal -- get accepted into upstream autotest
Add docstrings to all functions that still lack them, including the ones in stepmaker.py, stepeditor.py and kvm_tests.py
Add module headers and docstrings
Document the setupssh.iso and setuptelnet.iso creation procedures in the wiki
Rename all Windows ISOs currently used to their official MSDN names
Move Windows-setup iso images into the windows directory.
Share all the stepmaker data somehow so other people can debug stepfiles
Fill the sections "Working with step files" and "Step file creation tips" in the wiki
Document the kvm_install test in the "Tests" section of the wiki

None so far?
