That looks promising! Its a bit more complex (or at least 'new' for me) than that I was hoping. There is Gluster support in there, I found a description of it here: http://avocado-vt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/GlusterFs.html http://avocado-vt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/RunQemuUnittests.html Browsing through the docs does not really explain me how to put a configuration file together that runs the QEMU tests with a VM image on Gluster though. I probably need to read much more, but a pointer or very minimal example would be much appreciated. When I'm able to run avocado-vt, it should be trivial to put that in a Jenkins job :) Many thanks, Niels
