Autotest is used by the Linux kernel (its main claim to fame), and is also used by KVM. STAF seems to have originally been an IBM internal project that was open sourced. Seems to have been around for years. Haven't yet looked at further alternatives, as I was mostly expecting Autotest to be ok. Wrongly it turns out. :( It would be wise to do some proper investigation/shortlisting of potential frameworks before immediately jumping into an investigation of STAF. > Do you have any info on what other distributed storage projects use for their automated testing? The Ceph project used Autotest some time ago as well, but it didn't meet their needs so they created their own: Teuthology https://github.com/ceph/teuthology Their historical Autotest stuff https://github.com/ceph/autotest https://github.com/ceph/ceph-autotests I looked over Teuthology quickly, and it seems decent but it's very Ceph oriented/optimised. Not a general purpose thing we could pick up and use without extensive modification. :( Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > Thanks, > Avati -- Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat twitter.com/realjustinclift
