I disagree. Framework implies building blocks. I can't see any implication or suggestion of daemonic machinery here. > The frameworky bit of XTF is quite small; mostly, > it is a suite of test cases. "Xen Micro-VM Test Suite" maybe ? At the moment, the framework is larger than the suite, although I don't necessarily expect this to remain the case. Having said that, I would argue that the "framework" is the more important part; It is the bit with the complicated logic to build the same code into multiple different VM types, and APIs to make test reporting easy and consistent. > > (I think "verification" is inaccurate because to me it implies formal > methods, static analysis, or the like.) I concur. "verification" is definitely a less accurate description. > >> If we weren't going to change it, then you should probably put a note >> somewhere near the top of the introduction saying something like, "If >> you're looking for the Xen automated push-gate software, you want >> osstest[link]", so that people who want osstest but search for "xen >> test framework" find what they're looking for. > "CI (continuous integration)" is the keyword that many people will > have for osstest. > > I would suggest > > (This is not the Xen Project's CI / Continuous Integration / > automated push gate system.

I am happy to add text to that effect. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
