libvirt-test-API: Python based test suite
|
|
|
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Libvirt-test-API is a powerful test tool designed to complement existing libvirt
|
|
|
|
|
test tools such as libvirt-TCK and the internal test suite. It aims at
|
|
|
|
|
functional regression testing, trying to exercise nearly all the API by the way
|
|
|
|
|
of the Python bindings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The test API currently covers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- domain: all classical lifetime operations, installation of various guests
|
|
|
|
|
OSes, snapshots
|
|
|
|
|
- interfaces: define, create, destroy, undefine, NPIV
|
|
|
|
|
- virtual networks: define, create, destroy, undefine
|
|
|
|
|
- storage: regression tests for most storage types and configurations dir,
|
|
|
|
|
disk, netfs, iSCSI, multipath
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the tests need dedicated local resources whose definitions are stored in
|
|
|
|
|
a configuration file. The tests are defined using Python modules defining the
|
|
|
|
|
code for the test, this is called a test case, and test configuration files
|
|
|
|
|
using one or more test case to define a given test scenario.
