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.

For more details you can look at:

  • A documentation PDF file describing the test suite and how to write test cases and test scenarios.

Libvirt-test-API is maintained using a GIT repository, and comment, patches and reviews are carried on the devel mailing list.
