In order to automatically service and track test requests, as well as deploy testing resources, an upper-level test automation framework would sit "on top of" the Lustre test infrastructure.
Some requirements/desires for the automation framework:
- Aware of multiple clusters
- Able to create virtual clusters as VMs
- Able to automatically start testing based on various triggers, e.g. git commit hooks
- Maintains a prioritizable job queue
- Collect test output status in a database
- Visually represent pass/failure in a clear, concise manner
- Should facilitate easy interpretation of test "trends"; i.e. statistical-based test results

autotest
It is designed primarily to test the Linux kernel, though it is useful for many other functions such asqualifying new hardware. It used and developed by a number of organizations, including Google, IBM, Red Hat, andmany others. Developed on Python |

STAF
The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is an open source, multi-platform, multi-language framework, lead by IBM Core developed on C. You can interact with STAF from many languages (Java, C, C++, Python,Perl, Tcl, Rexx) and from the command line/shell prompt. |
