libvirt TCK : Technology Compatibility Kit
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In particular the libvirt TCK is intended to address the following scenarios:
|
|
|
|
- Validate that a new libvirt driver is in compliance with the (possibly
|
|
undocumented!) driver API semantics
|
|
- Validate that an update to an existing driver does not change the API
|
|
semantics in a non-compliant manner
|
|
- Validate that a new hypervisor release is still providing compatibility with
|
|
the corresponding libvirt driver usage
|
|
- Validate that an OS distro deployment consisting of a hypervisor and libvirt
|
|
release is configured correctly
|
|
|
|
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.

- The initial `mail from Daniel
|
|
Berrange <https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-April/msg00176.html>`__
|
|
presenting the project.
|
|
- The `page describing
|
|
VirtTCK <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtTCK>`__ the inclusion of
|
|
libvirt-TCK as a Fedora Feature.
|
|
|
|
Libvirt-TCK is maintained using `a GIT
|
|
repository <https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-tck>`__, and comment, patches and
|
|
reviews are carried on the `libvir-list <contact.html>`__ development list.
