[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2 0/6] qtest unit test framework

[Anthony Liguori]

This series is still pretty rough but I wanted to get an idea of what people
thought about it before polishing it.

The general idea is outlined in the first test.  The main advantage of this
type of test framework compared to something like kvm-unit-test is that you
don't need a build environment for what you're trying to test.

Since your tests also link against the host environment, it potentially makes
tests much simplier to write (as you aren't reinventing an OS).  I think this
makes this style of test more appropriate for something like QEMU.

Anthony Liguori (6):
  qtest: add test framework
  qtest: add support for target-i386 -M pc
  Add core python test framework
  Add uart test case
  Add RTC test case
  Add C version of rtc-test
