The difference is that the qtest test can be patch N/N in a patch series and be merged at exactly the same time.
I think having an in-tree test suite is the only practical way to do TDD. Regards, Anthony Liguori
Let's consider postcopy live migration being proposed. In addition to various unit tests, it also wants an integration test. So now we need to write a qemu-test postcopy live migration test, and also autotest test that tests non-Linux guests, migration under load, with memory hotplug, etc.But the integration test is also going to depend on libvirt support for the feature. So how does this all get orchestrated? kvm-autotest merges the test case first, then QEMU merges the support, then libvirt? What about VDSM and ovirt-engine? Once kvm-autotest starts supporting VDSM that's yet another component to deal with. Realistically, kvm-autotest is going to have to wait for the bits to get merged in all of the necessary pieces and then build a test for it on their own schedule.It just has to be posted and reviewed, it doesn't all have to be merged at the same time (and the qemu merge has to precede the autotest merge)
