From KVM
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.
Tests
- 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.
- cpu hotplug - Glauber
- pci net hot plug -Glauber
- pci block hot plug -Glauber
- s3 hibernation - Gleb
- 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)
Misc
- 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
