<h1>libvirt TCK : Technology Compatibility Kit</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing
|
||
|
|
of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt
|
||
|
|
hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system
|
||
|
|
configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In particular the libvirt TCK is intended to address the following
|
||
|
|
scenarios:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Validate that a new libvirt driver is in compliance
|
||
|
|
with the (possibly undocumented!) driver API semantics</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Validate that an update to an existing driver does not
|
||
|
|
change the API semantics in a non-compliant manner</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Validate that a new hypervisor release is still providing
|
||
|
|
compatibility with the corresponding libvirt driver usage</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Validate that an OS distro deployment consisting of a
|
||
|
|
hypervisor and libvirt release is configured correctly</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Thus the libvirt TCK will allow developers, administrators and users
|
||
|
|
to determine the level of compatibility of their platform, and
|
||
|
|
evaluate whether it will meet their needs, and get awareness of any
|
||
|
|
regressions that may have occurred since a previous test run.</p>
