KVM Forum 2020

kvm-unit-tests is a tool created to help develop KVM. Like many tools, while it was initially intended for more specific tasks, other applications of it have emerged over time. For some of these new applications, KVM isn't even in the picture. We present the evolution of kvm-unit-tests, from its origins to current day, describing how the unit test framework can support multiple targets with no impact to test code. We also make suggestions of new targets and framework enhancements for the further generalization of the tool.
