[http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM-Autotest kvm-autotest] is an effort by KVM developers to create a suite of regression tests for KVM.


Fedora virtualization testers can help improve KVM by running kvm-autotest on their own hardware. The kvm-autotest wiki contains some [http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM-Autotest/Client_Install instructions] on doing this, but to get started quickly try the following:

Fedora virtualization testers can help improve KVM by running Avocado-VT tests on their own machines.

Avocado and Avocado-VT

These are the current community projects that have come from a long heritage, including virt-test and KVM-Autotest.

Avocado is a generic testing framework, while Avocado-VT adds support for Virtualization testing (a continuation of virt-test).
