KVM-Autotest/TODO

KVM-Autotest TODO list

raw idea

• more vhost_net test
• Add Multi-guests transfer test
• transfer test between guest(s) and extra boxs
• add more whql tests (virtio_net,virtio_blk)

general

Note: This session is for major, multi-person items. We'll update the status weekly based on the status of the subtasks attributed to persons.

mgoldish

• Make WHQL tests run on our internal server
• 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

akong

• Turn tsc_drift into a kvm unit test.
• push redhat internal kvm subtests to upstream.

The ones left:

• • hdparm.py
  • cpuflags.py
  • qmp_command.py
  • qmp_event_notification.py
  • format_disk.py (it had been included to multi_disk.py which is already in upstream)

jason

• Port network tests into windows
• Profiler of pidstat
• guest->guest guest->host netperf support
• More readable test result of netperf

yolkfull

• Run netperf test between two guests
• Migration with/without workload(dbench,lmbench etc)
• Verify SMBIOS/DMI data (UUID, for example)
• Disk serial number (for IDE, SCSI, VirtIO drives)

Beijing QE

• pxe boot * net types
• Further migration
• Multiple nics
• multiple disks
• Test block device cancellation path using device mapper to generate errors ( after we had a crash in de_write_dma_cb)
• Extend pci_assignable to support other PCI devices (USB, video cards, TV card etc)
• Different CPU flags support
• Passthrough the perf keys of run_autotest to autotest server
• Register the virtual machine into autotest server and run benchmark through autotest server
