Abstract
To ensure quality, software development has to include testing mechanisms.
OSCAR today supports several Linux distributions and several architectures. In
such a context, the release cycle suffers of a important overhead created by
the testing and stabilization phase. To address this issue, an approach is to
implement a tool for automatic testing.
This paper presents such a tool which is based on the OSCAR command line
interface. This tool, based on system-level virtualization techniques, creates
a virtual cluster to perform the test. This approach has the benefit of not
corrupting the system of the physical machine and guarantee that the
environment used for testing has not been corrupted before testing.
