-Integration testing with Avocado
-================================
-
-The ``tests/avocado`` directory hosts integration tests. They're usually
-higher level tests, and may interact with external resources and with
-various guest operating systems.
-
-These tests are written using the Avocado Testing Framework (which must be
-installed separately) in conjunction with a the ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest``
-class, implemented at ``tests/avocado/avocado_qemu``.
-
-Tests based on ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` can easily:
-
- * Customize the command line arguments given to the convenience
-   ``self.vm`` attribute (a QEMUMachine instance)
-
- * Interact with the QEMU monitor, send QMP commands and check
-   their results
-
- * Interact with the guest OS, using the convenience console device
-   (which may be useful to assert the effectiveness and correctness of
-   command line arguments or QMP commands)
-
- * Interact with external data files that accompany the test itself
-   (see ``self.get_data()``)
-
- * Download (and cache) remote data files, such as firmware and kernel
-   images
-
- * Have access to a library of guest OS images (by means of the
-   ``avocado.utils.vmimage`` library)
-
- * Make use of various other test related utilities available at the
-   test class itself and at the utility library:
-
-   - http://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/test/avocado.html#avocado.Test

--------------
-
-You can run the avocado tests simply by executing:
-
-.. code::
-
-  make check-avocado
-
-This involves the automatic installation, from PyPI, of all the
-necessary avocado-framework dependencies into the QEMU venv within the
-build tree (at ``./pyvenv``). Test results are also saved within the
-build tree (at ``tests/results``).
-
-Note: the build environment must be using a Python 3 stack, and have
-the ``venv`` and ``pip`` packages installed.  If necessary, make sure
-``configure`` is called with ``--python=`` and that those modules are
-available.  On Debian and Ubuntu based systems, depending on the
-specific version, they may be on packages named ``python3-venv`` and
-``python3-pip``.
-
-It is also possible to run tests based on tags using the
-``make check-avocado`` command and the ``AVOCADO_TAGS`` environment
-variable:
-
-.. code::
-
-   make check-avocado AVOCADO_TAGS=quick
-
-Note that tags separated with commas have an AND behavior, while tags
-separated by spaces have an OR behavior. For more information on Avocado
-tags, see:
-
- https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/user/chapters/tags.html
-
-To run a single test file, a couple of them, or a test within a file
-using the ``make check-avocado`` command, set the ``AVOCADO_TESTS``
-environment variable with the test files or test names. To run all
-tests from a single file, use:
-
- .. code::
-
-  make check-avocado AVOCADO_TESTS=$FILEPATH
-
-The same is valid to run tests from multiple test files:
-
- .. code::
-
-  make check-avocado AVOCADO_TESTS='$FILEPATH1 $FILEPATH2'
-
-To run a single test within a file, use:
-
- .. code::
-
-  make check-avocado AVOCADO_TESTS=$FILEPATH:$TESTCLASS.$TESTNAME
-
-The same is valid to run single tests from multiple test files:
-
- .. code::
-
-  make check-avocado AVOCADO_TESTS='$FILEPATH1:$TESTCLASS1.$TESTNAME1 $FILEPATH2:$TESTCLASS2.$TESTNAME2'
-
-The scripts installed inside the virtual environment may be used
-without an "activation".  For instance, the Avocado test runner
-may be invoked by running:
-
- .. code::
-
-  pyvenv/bin/avocado run $OPTION1 $OPTION2 tests/avocado/
-
-Note that if ``make check-avocado`` was not executed before, it is
-possible to create the Python virtual environment with the dependencies
-needed running:
-
- .. code::
-
-  make check-venv
-
-It is also possible to run tests from a single file or a single test within
-a test file. To run tests from a single file within the build tree, use:
-
- .. code::
-
-  pyvenv/bin/avocado run tests/avocado/$TESTFILE
-
-To run a single test within a test file, use:
-
- .. code::
-
-  pyvenv/bin/avocado run tests/avocado/$TESTFILE:$TESTCLASS.$TESTNAME
-
-Valid test names are visible in the output from any previous execution
-of Avocado or ``make check-avocado``, and can also be queried using:
-
- .. code::
-
-  pyvenv/bin/avocado list tests/avocado
-
-Manual Installation
--------------------
-
-To manually install Avocado and its dependencies, run:
-
-.. code::
-
-  pip install --user avocado-framework
-
-Alternatively, follow the instructions on this link:
-
-  https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/user/chapters/installing.html
-
-Overview
---------
-
-The ``tests/avocado/avocado_qemu`` directory provides the
-``avocado_qemu`` Python module, containing the ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest``
-class.  Here's a simple usage example:
-
-.. code::
-
-  from avocado_qemu import QemuSystemTest
-
-
-  class Version(QemuSystemTest):
-      """
-      :avocado: tags=quick
-      """
-      def test_qmp_human_info_version(self):
-          self.vm.launch()
-          res = self.vm.cmd('human-monitor-command',
-                            command_line='info version')
-          self.assertRegex(res, r'^(\d+\.\d+\.\d)')
-
-To execute your test, run:
-
-.. code::
-
-  avocado run version.py
-
-Tests may be classified according to a convention by using docstring
-directives such as ``:avocado: tags=TAG1,TAG2``.  To run all tests
-in the current directory, tagged as "quick", run:
-
-.. code::
-
-  avocado run -t quick .
-
-The ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` base test class
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` class has a number of characteristics
-that are worth being mentioned right away.
-
-First of all, it attempts to give each test a ready to use QEMUMachine
-instance, available at ``self.vm``.  Because many tests will tweak the
-QEMU command line, launching the QEMUMachine (by using ``self.vm.launch()``)
-is left to the test writer.
-
-The base test class has also support for tests with more than one
-QEMUMachine. The way to get machines is through the ``self.get_vm()``
-method which will return a QEMUMachine instance. The ``self.get_vm()``
-method accepts arguments that will be passed to the QEMUMachine creation
-and also an optional ``name`` attribute so you can identify a specific
-machine and get it more than once through the tests methods. A simple
-and hypothetical example follows:
-
-.. code::
-
-  from avocado_qemu import QemuSystemTest
-
-
-  class MultipleMachines(QemuSystemTest):
-      def test_multiple_machines(self):
-          first_machine = self.get_vm()
-          second_machine = self.get_vm()
-          self.get_vm(name='third_machine').launch()
-
-          first_machine.launch()
-          second_machine.launch()
-
-          first_res = first_machine.cmd(
-              'human-monitor-command',
-              command_line='info version')
-
-          second_res = second_machine.cmd(
-              'human-monitor-command',
-              command_line='info version')
-
-          third_res = self.get_vm(name='third_machine').cmd(
-              'human-monitor-command',
-              command_line='info version')
-
-          self.assertEqual(first_res, second_res, third_res)
-
-At test "tear down", ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` handles all the
-QEMUMachines shutdown.
-
-The ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` base test class
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` is further specialization of the
-``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` class, so it contains all the characteristics
-of the later plus some extra features.
-
-First of all, this base class is intended for tests that need to
-interact with a fully booted and operational Linux guest.  At this
-time, it uses a Fedora 31 guest image.  The most basic example looks
-like this:
-
-.. code::
-
-  from avocado_qemu import LinuxTest
-
-
-  class SomeTest(LinuxTest):
-
-      def test(self):
-          self.launch_and_wait()
-          self.ssh_command('some_command_to_be_run_in_the_guest')
-
-Please refer to tests that use ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` under
-``tests/avocado`` for more examples.
-
-QEMUMachine
------------
-
-The QEMUMachine API is already widely used in the Python iotests,
-device-crash-test and other Python scripts.  It's a wrapper around the
-execution of a QEMU binary, giving its users:
-
- * the ability to set command line arguments to be given to the QEMU
-   binary
-
- * a ready to use QMP connection and interface, which can be used to
-   send commands and inspect its results, as well as asynchronous
-   events
-
- * convenience methods to set commonly used command line arguments in
-   a more succinct and intuitive way
-
-QEMU binary selection
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The QEMU binary used for the ``self.vm`` QEMUMachine instance will
-primarily depend on the value of the ``qemu_bin`` parameter.  If it's
-not explicitly set, its default value will be the result of a dynamic
-probe in the same source tree.  A suitable binary will be one that
-targets the architecture matching host machine.
-
-Based on this description, test writers will usually rely on one of
-the following approaches:
-
-1) Set ``qemu_bin``, and use the given binary
-
-2) Do not set ``qemu_bin``, and use a QEMU binary named like
-   "qemu-system-${arch}", either in the current
-   working directory, or in the current source tree.
-
-The resulting ``qemu_bin`` value will be preserved in the
-``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` as an attribute with the same name.
-
-Attribute reference
--------------------
-
-Test
-^^^^
-
-Besides the attributes and methods that are part of the base
-``avocado.Test`` class, the following attributes are available on any
-``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` instance.
-
-vm
-""
-
-A QEMUMachine instance, initially configured according to the given
-``qemu_bin`` parameter.
-
-arch
-""""
-
-The architecture can be used on different levels of the stack, e.g. by
-the framework or by the test itself.  At the framework level, it will
-currently influence the selection of a QEMU binary (when one is not
-explicitly given).
-
-Tests are also free to use this attribute value, for their own needs.
-A test may, for instance, use the same value when selecting the
-architecture of a kernel or disk image to boot a VM with.
-
-The ``arch`` attribute will be set to the test parameter of the same
-name.  If one is not given explicitly, it will either be set to
-``None``, or, if the test is tagged with one (and only one)
-``:avocado: tags=arch:VALUE`` tag, it will be set to ``VALUE``.
-
-cpu
-"""
-
-The cpu model that will be set to all QEMUMachine instances created
-by the test.
-
-The ``cpu`` attribute will be set to the test parameter of the same
-name. If one is not given explicitly, it will either be set to
-``None ``, or, if the test is tagged with one (and only one)
-``:avocado: tags=cpu:VALUE`` tag, it will be set to ``VALUE``.
-
-machine
-"""""""
-
-The machine type that will be set to all QEMUMachine instances created
-by the test.
-
-The ``machine`` attribute will be set to the test parameter of the same
-name.  If one is not given explicitly, it will either be set to
-``None``, or, if the test is tagged with one (and only one)
-``:avocado: tags=machine:VALUE`` tag, it will be set to ``VALUE``.
-
-qemu_bin
-""""""""
-
-The preserved value of the ``qemu_bin`` parameter or the result of the
-dynamic probe for a QEMU binary in the current working directory or
-source tree.
-
-LinuxTest
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Besides the attributes present on the ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` base
-class, the ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` adds the following attributes:
-
-distro
-""""""
-
-The name of the Linux distribution used as the guest image for the
-test.  The name should match the **Provider** column on the list
-of images supported by the avocado.utils.vmimage library:
-
-https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/libs/vmimage.html#supported-images
-
-distro_version
-""""""""""""""
-
-The version of the Linux distribution as the guest image for the
-test.  The name should match the **Version** column on the list
-of images supported by the avocado.utils.vmimage library:
-
-https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/libs/vmimage.html#supported-images
-
-distro_checksum
-"""""""""""""""
-
-The sha256 hash of the guest image file used for the test.
-
-If this value is not set in the code or by a test parameter (with the
-same name), no validation on the integrity of the image will be
-performed.
-
-Parameter reference
--------------------
-
-To understand how Avocado parameters are accessed by tests, and how
-they can be passed to tests, please refer to::
-
-  https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/chapters/writing.html#accessing-test-parameters
-
-Parameter values can be easily seen in the log files, and will look
-like the following:
-
-.. code::
-
-  PARAMS (key=qemu_bin, path=*, default=./qemu-system-x86_64) => './qemu-system-x86_64
-
-Test
-^^^^
-
-arch
-""""
-
-The architecture that will influence the selection of a QEMU binary
-(when one is not explicitly given).
-
-Tests are also free to use this parameter value, for their own needs.
-A test may, for instance, use the same value when selecting the
-architecture of a kernel or disk image to boot a VM with.
-
-This parameter has a direct relation with the ``arch`` attribute.  If
-not given, it will default to None.
-
-cpu
-"""
-
-The cpu model that will be set to all QEMUMachine instances created
-by the test.
-
-machine
-"""""""
-
-The machine type that will be set to all QEMUMachine instances created
-by the test.
-
-qemu_bin
-""""""""
-
-The exact QEMU binary to be used on QEMUMachine.
-
-LinuxTest
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-Besides the parameters present on the ``avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest`` base
-class, the ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` adds the following parameters:
-
-distro
-""""""
-
-The name of the Linux distribution used as the guest image for the
-test.  The name should match the **Provider** column on the list
-of images supported by the avocado.utils.vmimage library:
-
-https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/libs/vmimage.html#supported-images
-
-distro_version

-
-The version of the Linux distribution as the guest image for the
-test.  The name should match the **Version** column on the list
-of images supported by the avocado.utils.vmimage library:
-
-https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/libs/vmimage.html#supported-images
-
-distro_checksum
-"""""""""""""""
-
-The sha256 hash of the guest image file used for the test.
-
-If this value is not set in the code or by this parameter no
-validation on the integrity of the image will be performed.
-
-Skipping tests
---------------
-
-The Avocado framework provides Python decorators which allow for easily skip
-tests running under certain conditions. For example, on the lack of a binary
-on the test system or when the running environment is a CI system. For further
-information about those decorators, please refer to::
-
-  https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/chapters/writing.html#skipping-tests
-
-While the conditions for skipping tests are often specifics of each one, there
-are recurring scenarios identified by the QEMU developers and the use of
-environment variables became a kind of standard way to enable/disable tests.
-
-Here is a list of the most used variables:
-
-AVOCADO_ALLOW_LARGE_STORAGE
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Tests which are going to fetch or produce assets considered *large* are not
-going to run unless that ``AVOCADO_ALLOW_LARGE_STORAGE=1`` is exported on
-the environment.
-
-The definition of *large* is a bit arbitrary here, but it usually means an
-asset which occupies at least 1GB of size on disk when uncompressed.
-
-SPEED
-^^^^^
-Tests which have a long runtime will not be run unless ``SPEED=slow`` is
-exported on the environment.
-
-The definition of *long* is a bit arbitrary here, and it depends on the
-usefulness of the test too. A unique test is worth spending more time on,
-small variations on existing tests perhaps less so. As a rough guide,
-a test or set of similar tests which take more than 100 seconds to
-complete.
-
-AVOCADO_ALLOW_UNTRUSTED_CODE
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-There are tests which will boot a kernel image or firmware that can be
-considered not safe to run on the developer's workstation, thus they are
-skipped by default. The definition of *not safe* is also arbitrary but
-usually it means a blob which either its source or build process aren't
-public available.
-
-You should export ``AVOCADO_ALLOW_UNTRUSTED_CODE=1`` on the environment in
-order to allow tests which make use of those kind of assets.
-
-AVOCADO_TIMEOUT_EXPECTED
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The Avocado framework has a timeout mechanism which interrupts tests to avoid the
-test suite of getting stuck. The timeout value can be set via test parameter or
-property defined in the test class, for further details::
-
-  https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/writer/chapters/writing.html#setting-a-test-timeout
-
-Even though the timeout can be set by the test developer, there are some tests
-that may not have a well-defined limit of time to finish under certain
-conditions. For example, tests that take longer to execute when QEMU is
-compiled with debug flags. Therefore, the ``AVOCADO_TIMEOUT_EXPECTED`` variable
-has been used to determine whether those tests should run or not.
-
-QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Some tests are not working reliably and thus are disabled by default.
-This includes tests that don't run reliably on GitLab's CI which
-usually expose real issues that are rarely seen on developer machines
-due to the constraints of the CI environment. If you encounter a
-similar situation then raise a bug and then mark the test as shown on
-the code snippet below:
-
-.. code::
-
-  # See https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/nnnn
-  @skipUnless(os.getenv('QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS'), 'Test is unstable on GitLab')
-  def test(self):
-      do_something()
-
-You can also add ``:avocado: tags=flaky`` to the test meta-data so
-only the flaky tests can be run as a group:
-
-.. code::
-
-   env QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS=1 ./pyvenv/bin/avocado \
-      run tests/avocado -filter-by-tags=flaky
-
-Tests should not live in this state forever and should either be fixed
-or eventually removed.
-
-
-Uninstalling Avocado
---------------------
-
-If you've followed the manual installation instructions above, you can
-easily uninstall Avocado.  Start by listing the packages you have
-installed::
-
-  pip list --user
-
-And remove any package you want with::
-
-  pip uninstall <package_name>
-
-If you've used ``make check-avocado``, the Python virtual environment where
-Avocado is installed will be cleaned up as part of ``make check-clean``.

-Definition of terms
-===================
-
-This section defines the terms used in this document and correlates them with
-what is currently used on QEMU.
-
-Automated tests
----------------
-
-An automated test is written on a test framework using its generic test
-functions/classes. The test framework can run the tests and report their
-success or failure [1]_.
-
-An automated test has essentially three parts:
-
-1. The test initialization of the parameters, where the expected parameters,
-   like inputs and expected results, are set up;
-2. The call to the code that should be tested;
-3. An assertion, comparing the result from the previous call with the expected
-   result set during the initialization of the parameters. If the result
-   matches the expected result, the test has been successful; otherwise, it has
-   failed.
-
-Unit testing
-------------
-
-A unit test is responsible for exercising individual software components as a
-unit, like interfaces, data structures, and functionality, uncovering errors
-within the boundaries of a component. The verification effort is in the
-smallest software unit and focuses on the internal processing logic and data
-structures. A test case of unit tests should be designed to uncover errors due
-to erroneous computations, incorrect comparisons, or improper control flow [2]_.
-
-On QEMU, unit testing is represented by the 'check-unit' target from 'make'.
-
-Functional testing
-------------------
-
-A functional test focuses on the functional requirement of the software.
-Deriving sets of input conditions, the functional tests should fully exercise
-all the functional requirements for a program. Functional testing is
-complementary to other testing techniques, attempting to find errors like
-incorrect or missing functions, interface errors, behavior errors, and
-initialization and termination errors [3]_.
-
-On QEMU, functional testing is represented by the 'check-qtest' target from
-'make'.
-
-System testing
---------------
-
-System tests ensure all application elements mesh properly while the overall
-functionality and performance are achieved [4]_. Some or all system components
-are integrated to create a complete system to be tested as a whole. System
-testing ensures that components are compatible, interact correctly, and
-transfer the right data at the right time across their interfaces. As system
-testing focuses on interactions, use case-based testing is a practical approach
-to system testing [5]_. Note that, in some cases, system testing may require
-interaction with third-party software, like operating system images, databases,
-networks, and so on.
-
-On QEMU, system testing is represented by the 'check-avocado' target from
-'make'.
-
-Flaky tests
------------
-
-A flaky test is defined as a test that exhibits both a passing and a failing
-result with the same code on different runs. Some usual reasons for an
-intermittent/flaky test are async wait, concurrency, and test order dependency
-[6]_.
-
-Gating
-------
-
-A gate restricts the move of code from one stage to another on a
-test/deployment pipeline. The step move is granted with approval. The approval
-can be a manual intervention or a set of tests succeeding [7]_.
-
-On QEMU, the gating process happens during the pull request. The approval is
-done by the project leader running its own set of tests. The pull request gets
-merged when the tests succeed.
-
-Continuous Integration (CI)
----------------------------
-
-Continuous integration (CI) requires the builds of the entire application and
-the execution of a comprehensive set of automated tests every time there is a
-need to commit any set of changes [8]_. The automated tests can be composed of
-the unit, functional, system, and other tests.
-
-Keynotes about continuous integration (CI) [9]_:
-
-1. System tests may depend on external software (operating system images,
-   firmware, database, network).
-2. It may take a long time to build and test. It may be impractical to build
-   the system being developed several times per day.
-3. If the development platform is different from the target platform, it may
-   not be possible to run system tests in the developer’s private workspace.
-   There may be differences in hardware, operating system, or installed
-   software. Therefore, more time is required for testing the system.

 Most of QEMU's CI is run on GitLab's infrastructure although a number
 of other CI services are used for specialised purposes. The most up to
 date information about them and their status can be found on the
 `project wiki testing page <https://wiki.qemu.org/Testing/CI>`_.

+These tests are also used as gating tests before merging pull requests.
+A gating test restricts the move of code from one stage to another on a
+test/deployment pipeline. The step move is granted with approval. The approval
+can be a manual intervention or a set of tests succeeding [2]_.
+
+On QEMU, the gating process happens during the pull request. The approval is
+done by the project leader running its own set of tests. The pull request gets
+merged when the tests succeed.

 Unit tests

-Unit tests, which can be invoked with ``make check-unit``, are simple C tests

+A unit test is responsible for exercising individual software components as a
+unit, like interfaces, data structures, and functionality, uncovering errors
+within the boundaries of a component. The verification effort is in the

+Flaky tests

+
+A flaky test is defined as a test that exhibits both a passing and a failing
+result with the same code on different runs. Some usual reasons for an
+intermittent/flaky test are async wait, concurrency, and test order dependency

+
+In QEMU, tests that are identified to be flaky are normally disabled by
