Version 1.0

• Goal: Create a basic system, make it simple and run successfully.
• Case: DVD input and support simplest test cases.
• Platform: Virtual Machine.
• Inputs and Outputs:
  • Inputs: DVD, kickstart files, python (shell) scripts.
  • Outputs: Logs of whole process(including anaconda logs), test results.
• Approach<<Fix Me>>:

1. Create a server, and prepare DVD.iso.
2. Create a virtual machine by the server.
3. Run test cases using some kickstarts for install tests.
4. Send back some logs, successful or not...
5. Have some "results parsers" which waits for the logs from the clients and then parses them

• Frameworks studied so far: kvm-autotest, autotest, libvirt, dogtail.
