It seems huge, if we wanna cover all!

1. Platform
   1. virt-manager/lib-virt+KVM
2. Development
   1. trigger Testing, refer the current test events being monitored: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=autoqa.git;a=tree;f=hooks
   2. Check installation media, refer QA:Installer image presence test case http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Installer_image_presence_test_case
   3. detect the prerequirements (arc etc) of the Fedora installation and create the suitable KVM machines.
   4. start to install fedora (which mode to choose)
   5. log the test result. (cases: installation successes, exception occurs but do not block the installation, exception occurs and block the installation).
3. Works need to do
   1. explore trigger (AutoQA current monitored events)
   2. check installation media (This has been done in AutoQA, still need to explore how to call it.)
   3. access the AutoTest Server from AutoQA client and explore the Python libraries of AutoQA, such as util etc, but it seems there is no documentation.
   4. explore the contents of different files of Fedora, such as .treeinfo, initrd etc. which I need to deal during development.
   5. read the parameters from hook files during the installation in different mode (anaconda, kernel, etc.)
