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