Virt test documentation

Virt is a suite of tests made to exercise different linux virtualization hypervisors. At the time of this writing (01/09/2013), there are 4 virt types covered:

  • QEMU (previously known as KVM)
  • Libvirt
  • V2V (which is an utility to convert virtual machines from different systems)
  • Openvswitch (Networking technology set to replace bridges)

Those tests were separated from the autotest git repo and became their own project. It's possible to use the virt tests in autotest just fine, but also run the tests through a stand alone test runner. The virt tests do require a few core autotest libraries to function, but those can be provided either by exporting an environment variable containing a path to an autotest git tree, or installing the autotest core through an RPM package (available on the Fedora repos). If you are curious about the parent project, autotest, you can check out its wiki page.
