<h1>libvirt-test-API: Python based test suite </h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The test API currently covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>domain: all classical lifetime operations, installation of
various guests OSes, snapshots</li>
<li>interfaces: define, create, destroy, undefine, NPIV</li>
<li>virtual networks: define, create, destroy, undefine</li>
<li>storage: regression tests for most storage types and configurations
dir, disk, netfs, iSCSI, multipath</li>
</ul>
<p>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 <tt>test case</tt>, and test <tt>configuration files</tt> using one
or more test case to define a given test scenario.</p>
<p>For more details you can look at:</p>
<ul>
<li> A <a href="http://libvirt.org/sources/libvirt-test-API/Libvirt-test-API.pdf">documentation PDF</a>
file describing the test suite and how to write test cases
and test scenarios.
</ul>
<p> Libvirt-test-API is maintained using
<a href="http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-test-API.git">a GIT
repository</a>, and comment, patches and reviews are carried
on the <a href="contact.html">libvir-list</a> development list.</p>
