Domain Tests

Test	Description	Upstream	Parameters	Criteria	Variables	Votes	Status
Create	can a guest domain be created? (is there an xm-test for this?)		|xm create domU	guest starts, shows as present in xm list	PCPUs, VCPUs, PV and HVM guests, backing store	5	to be written (?)
Destroy	can a guest domain be destroyed (not halted)? (is there an xm-test for this?)		|xm destroy domU	guest stops "immediately"	PCPUs, VCPUs, PV and HVM guests, backing store	5	to be written (?)
Migration	can a running domain be moved on from/to localhost? a remote host? (is there an xm-test for this?)			domain moves without disruption of processing	PV and HVM guests, backing store	4	to be written (?)
Mixed DomUs	can multiple, non-homogeneous guests run simultaneously?				number of guests, PV vs HVM, PCPUs, VCPUs, which guests, scheduler, backing store, file systems, device domains	5	to be written
Paused Migration	can a paused domain be moved from/to localhost? a remote host? (is there an xm-test for this?)			domain moves without disruption of processing	PV and HVM guests, backing store	3	to be written (?)

Reboot	can a guest domain be rebooted? (is there an xm-test for this?)		|xm reboot domU	guest reboots, returns to login prompt, backing store uncorrupted	PCPUs, VCPUs, PV and HVM guests, backing store	5	to be written (?)
Save/Restore	can a running domain be saved/restored on localhost? a remote host? (is there an xm-test for this?)			domain stops/restarts without disruption of processing	PV and HVM guests, backing store	4	to be written (?)
Start	can a guest domain be started? NB: in 3.0.4 this will be different than xm create but is not currently; is there an xm-test for this?		|xm start domU -c	guest boots and presents login prompt	PCPUs, VCPUs, RAM, PV and HVM guests, backing store	5	to be written (?)
Shutdown	can a guest domain be shutdown? (is there an xm-test for this?)		|xm shutdown domU	guest stops, no longer present in xm list, backing store uncorrupted	PCPUs, VCPUs, PV and HVM guests, backing store	5	to be written (?)
Validate Separation	demonstrate that guests cannot interfere with one another				PCPUs, VCPUs, PV and HVM guests, backing store	3	to be written

Tool Tests

Test	Description	Upstream	Parameters	Criteria	Variables	Votes	Status

xentop operation	does xentop produce correct results?	Xen		when all parameters are invoked, are the results reasonable?	CPU load, number of domUs running	2	to be written?
xm-test Test Suite	tests operation of xm command	Xen	run full suite	native and domU should not work at all, dom0 should pass all tests	Linux distributions in guests, PCPUs, VCPUs, RAM, backing store, file systems, device domains	5	proposed
