Tapper is a test infrastructure providing continuous integration through setting up complete machines from scratch, either image-based or via kickstart/autoyast/preseed.

Tapper also provides:

  • alternative easy ssh-based test invocation,
  • test facilities for the Linux kernel, virtualization based on Xen and KVM, and running in simulators (like simnow)
  • support for lots of other scenarios, like suspend/resume or distributed network tests
  • benchmark tracking facilities
  • powerful, advanced query language for test result evaluation and forensics
  • a powerful scheduler to maximize utilization of a machine pool with different use-cases organized in bandwidth-driven queues
