<h1>libvirt TCK : Technology Compatibility Kit</h1>
<p>The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing
of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt
hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system
configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK.</p>
<p>In particular the libvirt TCK is intended to address the following
scenarios:</p>
<ul>
<li>Validate that a new libvirt driver is in compliance
with the (possibly undocumented!) driver API semantics</li>
<li>Validate that an update to an existing driver does not
change the API semantics in a non-compliant manner</li>
<li>Validate that a new hypervisor release is still providing
compatibility with the corresponding libvirt driver usage</li>
<li>Validate that an OS distro deployment consisting of a
hypervisor and libvirt release is configured correctly</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus the libvirt TCK will allow developers, administrators and users
to determine the level of compatibility of their platform, and
evaluate whether it will meet their needs, and get awareness of any
regressions that may have occurred since a previous test run.</p>
<p>For more details you can look at:</p>
<ul>
<li> The initial
<a href="http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-April/msg00176.html">mail
from Daniel Berrange</a> presenting the project.</li>
<li> The <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtTCK">page
describing VirtTCK</a> the inclusion of libvirt-TCK as a
Fedora Feature.</li>
</ul>
<p> Libvirt-TCK is maintained using
<a href="https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-tck.git">a GIT
repository</a>, and comment, patches and reviews are carried
on the <a href="contact.html">libvir-list</a> development list.</p>
