Test framework requirements

This page is intended as the collection point for people to record their requirements of a new test-framework. The new test framework is intended to support Lustre today as well as into the future with exascale systems and so the entries on this page should encapsulate all that will be needed to test Lustre for the foreseeable exascale future. The current plan is that we should design the best possible new test framework and then assess if a transition from the current framework is possible, but we should not hinder the new framework in order to make the transition possible. Please add your requirements to the table below including child pages where you suggestion is a document or sizeable entry. We want to capture all the valuable input of people from ideas, to language requirements, high level architectural ideas, references to other test methods/language/environments that might be useful......
