Michael Roth recently posted the "qtest" patchset which begins to enable device model testing: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg54191.html It goes in the direction of making emulated devices (like AHCI) testable without running an actual guest. Your test code runs in a native-code vcpu thread and can interact with the device model via mmio, pio, DMA, and interrupts. If you are interested please check out Michael's email thread on qtest. Or if you meant tests that run small guests to check that networking, disk, etc still work, then I think KVM-Autotest is what exists today. Stefan
