server, including the framework for developing more tests. These tools include
the following:
Process command line arguments
Provide functionality for PASS/FAIL
Provide test grouping functionality
Provide multiple client support
Logging mechanism
Debug info control
Mount/Unmount control
Create files/directories
Provide mechanism to start a packet trace
Provide mechanism to simulate a network partition
Support for pNFS testing
Provide mechanism to automate packet trace inspection
For libreswan we use a system that generates various VM images using a
network install and libvirt, and then fires off multiple VMs, login in
over serial, and run various tests and output. Then we compare the
output with known good output. This includes a tcpdump of the network.
Additionally, we use 9p filesystem mounts to install updated versions
and read/write configs/logs, so we can still access binaries and write
logs even if IPsec has hosed full network connectivity.
There is nothing really specific to libreswan for this, and it could be
used generally for other systems that need to perform network based
tests.
It might be worth it to look at what we have already built and see if we
can stick to one version of a testing harness for multiple packages?
