Thanks, Konrad. I've filed a ticket for this here:

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/263

if you or anyone else with an interest in Xen wants to take that one on,
it'd be great! Just draft up the test cases in the Wiki (your own
personal space in the Wiki is a good place to keep drafts - e.g.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_QA_Testcase_install_alongside_Windows
 ) and then post a mail to the list asking people to review them.

It would be nice to expand the tests, and it kind of boils down to:

1) Does it boot
2) Does it work 

The complexity is that there are three modes of this: HVM (so similar
to the KVM test-case), PV (we got that covered now), and the Dom0 (which
is mostly - does it boot and you kind of implicitly need to do this before
you can do the other two).

So I think it makes sense to add the HVM case in the test-matrix - it
is pretty simple and similar to the KVM one.

The dom0 is a bit more complex, but we already have it outlined in the
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 in the Documentation
part - so it should be fairly easy to lift it out of there. (adn the stuff
about the bridge is not needed anymore).

That's sort of the question, I'm asking, really!

Does this mean various DomU tests or Dom0 tests?

Is there a need for more Xen test cases for Fedora?

2011-11-29 Thread Adam Williamson
Hey, folks. I'm working through the f16 QA retrospective, and one of the
suggestions is:

"might need improved / more Xen test cases"

I wanted to reach out particularly to those who've been involved with
the Xen support and testing, but also the group in general, and see if
this is correct - should we have more or improved Xen test cases to
ensure the Xen support is good for F17 and future releases?

What we have ATM is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Xen_Para_Virt -
I note that Konrad modified this a few weeks back, and it looks better
than it did previously. Is this enough, or should we enhance this test
case, add more, replace it...? Thanks!
