6 kvm-unit-tests is a project as old as KVM. As its name
7 suggests, it's purpose is to provide unit tests for KVM. The
8 unit tests are tiny guest operating systems that generally
9 execute only tens of lines of C and assembler test code in
10 order to obtain its PASS/FAIL result. Unit tests provide KVM
11 and virt hardware functional testing by targeting the
12 features through minimal implementations of their use per
13 the hardware specification. The simplicity of unit tests
14 make them easy to verify they are correct, easy to maintain,
15 and easy to use in timing measurements. Unit tests are also
16 often used for quick and dirty bug reproducers. The
17 reproducers may then be kept as regression tests. It's
18 strongly encouraged that patches implementing new KVM
19 features are submitted with accompanying unit tests.
