I''ve glad to see that there are several tests starting to show up in the Xen tree, first for xenstore, now for consoled. I''ll try to resubmit the balloon tests I sent a while back today. I''m curious why the /tools/tests directory isn''t getting used for these? It would be really convenient if all of these things were organized under that directory, making them easier to find, and easier to run as an overall testsuite. Any objections to this? -- Thanks, Paul Larson plars@linuxtestproject.org http://www.linuxtestproject.org _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Some of these tests are simple unit tests that enable subsystems to be tested in isolation (e.g. xenstored tests). It might make sense for these to be grouped with the actual code their testing. Most other kinds of test (e.g. the console tests) actually require booting a machine and running stuff, often in a co-ordinated fashion. These should probably live under tools/tests.

Centralizing the tests in a directory is unnecessary, by having a central way of running them is vital. Note that this is for unit tests, not for tests which need Xen actually running...
