[libvirt] how to test libvirt?
Hi all: AFAIK, there're several ways to test libvirt: 1) virt-test, which is driven by autotest or avocado-vt, based on qemu-kvm 2) test driver which is parall to other drivers such as qemu_driver and libxl_driver in libvirt. 3) make -c tests, which aims to do low level tests, that is to test function modules of libvirt. 4) libvirt-test-API I've got 2 questions: 1) besides the 4 test suites, are there any other automatic-test tools? 2) is there any testsuite used to test libxl_driver, similar to virt-test? Anyone knows that? Thanks in advance. Oscar.

What are you trying to test for ? If the goal is to try patches before submitting them on this list, make check and make syntax-check are the only requirement. Now if you built a modified version and want to test this, you can use libvirt-test-API and the libvirt-tck, or run the openstack regression tests with libvirt using your mods (but best is to make sure those mods get upstream first to avoid loosing a lot of time).

Yes, I'd like to do this kind of test! You didn't mention virt-test/avocado-vt, does that mean you in fact don't use these 2 tools? REF: http://avocado-vt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

I'm afraid there's no such specific test suite for this.

There's also libvirt-tck for perl binding testing, and cimtest suite for libvirt-cim testing.
Anyone knows that? Thanks in advance.

The Xen Project's osstest includes tests for libvirt that exercise the libxl driver. We also use libvirt-tck to test the Xen+libvirt stack. Regards, Jim

Thanks , Jim, I'll look into osstest for more information.
