Test Environment

Virtualization
- python-fedora installed
- libvirt installed
- qemu-kvm installed
- python-virtinst installed
- pax installed
- service libvirtd started

Virtual disk (required for hd installation and ks hosted on hd)
- libguestfs installed
- python-libguestfs installed

Interaction with Desktop
- Linux Desktop Test Project (LDTP)[[1]]
  - ldtp installed
  - python-ldtp installed
- dogtail

Logging
- service rsyslog started on host
- rsyslog listening on specific port on host

Watcher and Download Images

Identify potential test drivers that trigger off of events.

Source to watcher
- URL install source (typically, http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/15/i386/os)
- DVD images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
- Live images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
- netinst.iso images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)

Download Methods

To avoid multiple download for saving bandwidth and time, the following methods can be adopted:

- mirror
- proxy, such as squid

Image Sanity

size
sha256sum
md5sum
repoclosure for DVD
file conflict for DVD

Create Guest

virt-install

Boot Arguments

Linux Desktop Test Project [[2]]

The mapping of test cases with kick start files can be found at Testcase_Kickstart_Mapping

Virtue Disk

libguestfs

Logging

serial console
Anaconda/Logging

Watch Installation Steps

The installation steps can be watched by monitor the terminal output

+== Watcher and Download Images ==
-* Get Media
-** Tree compose: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/[$VERSION]/[$ARCH]/os/
-** DVD, Live, boot.iso, netinst.iso: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/

-*** Download by proxy (squid)
-* Check Media Sanity
+Identify potential test drivers that trigger off of events.

-== Step 3: Identify Boot Methods, Install Repository, Partitioning, User Interface and Boot Loader==
+* Source to watcher
-The test is divided into five Boot Methods as the media types: URL, DVD, Live, boot.iso and netinst.iso.
+** URL install source (typically, http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/15/i386/os)
-All the boot methods should be able to accept different ks file, Install Repository, Partitioning,
+** DVD images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
-User Interface and Boot Loader.
+** Live images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
+** netinst.iso images (typically, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
-* kick start can be passed by virt-install arguments for tree compose or terminal for ISOs
+* Download Methods
-** remote kickstart files: http, ftp, nfs
+To avoid multiple download for saving bandwidth and time, the following methods can be adopted:
-** local kickstart files: ks file should be uploaded on to the virtdisk before using it
+** mirror
+** proxy, such as squid
-* repo
+== Image Sanity ==
-** passed by terminal
+* size
-** passed by ks file
+* sha256sum
+* md5sum
+* repoclosure for DVD
+* file conflict for DVD
-* partitioning
+== Create Guest ==
-** passed by ks file
+* virt-install
-* user interface
+== Boot Arguments ==
-** passed by terminal
+* Linux Desktop Test Project [[http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/]]
-* boot loader
-** passed by ks file
 The mapping of test cases with kick start files can be found at  [[Testcase_Kickstart_Mapping]]
+== Virtue Disk ==
+* libguestfs
-== Step 4: Creating Virt Guest==
+== Logging ==
-virt-install is adopted to initialize the guest. The functions to create guest with virt-install from url, DVD,ect. should be defined firstly.
+* serial console
-The following functions are defined in the class '''VirtGuest''' located in '''/lib/python/virtguest.py'''.
+* [[Anaconda/Logging]]
-{|
-!Method!!Function
-|-
-|width=100|URL
-|width= 200|url_create()
-|-
-|DVD,CD,boot.iso
-|iso_create()
-|}
-Identify potential test drivers that trigger off of those events.
-* URL install source available (typically, http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/15/i386/os)
-** url_sanity.py (for provided {{filename|images/boot.iso}})
-** url_install.py
-** bootiso_install.py
-** pxe_install.py (kind of silly, but a possible future test)
-* DVD image(s) available (typically, somewhere on http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
-** dvd_sanity.py
-** dvd_install.py
-** hddvc_install.py
-** nfsdvc_install.py
-* CD image(s) available (typically, somewhere on http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/)
-** cd_sanity.py
-** cd_install.py
-** hdcd_install.py
-** nfscd_install.py
-==Step 5 : Logging and watching the steps of installation==
-Get the installation output and logs at every step:
-{|
-! Stage !! Log file !! End label
-|-
-|width =100|Boot
-|width=300|boot.log
-|width=300|Greetings
-|-
-|Stage1
-|stage1.log
-|Running anaconda [version], system installer - please wait
-|-
-|Stage2
-|stage2.log
-|
-|}
-== Key ==
-Set priorities for each test. The test drivers will support the tests with high priority.
-{| class="wikitable sortable" border="0"
+== Watch Installation Steps ==
-! Colour !! Explanation
+The installation steps can be watched by monitor the terminal output
-|-
-| style="background-color:green;"|yes
-| supported and default (high priority)

-| style="background-color:#66FF00;"|yes
