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)
  • Implement functions to translate VM ports and addresses (e.g. VM.get_port(), VM.get_address())
  • 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)
  • 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

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

Misc

  • 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
  • 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

Bugs

None so far?
