TestVisor
I've been working away on this little project for a while as an exercise in coding something useful in my free time.
The end result will be an ajaxilicious virtual machine hypervisor manager which will be able to run sequences of tests on a virtual machine instance,
making use of snapshotting to deal with real world automated testing in a state-controlled way.
It's a long way off done, but here's a taster:
Here we see it initializing some stuff, powering up a Windows 7 Virtualbox instance, downloading a test, executing the test and uploading the results.
My holiday started today and I've been hacking away on this since the morning, I'm quite pleased with what I've got so far. I've been poking this on and off for a few weeks now, but there's truly no substitute for 'the zone' which I finally managed to get into with this.
I was also pleased to find that I could compile a mono executable on the host linux machine I'm developing on and download it to the Windows 7 VM to run under CLR with 0 problems.
It's on GitHub, but not in an amazing state currently. Largely stubs, test code, commented out test code and some hints of where it's going.
Exciting to finally get another project underway, I can't even remember what my last one was...
