This repository is dedicated to host any tests written using the Avocado[1] API. It is being initially populated with tests ported from autotest client tests repository, but it's not limited by that.

Once you have the avocado installed, you can run the tests like below:

$ avocado run avocado-misc-tests/perf/stress.py
JOB ID     : 0018adbc07c5d90d242dd6b341c87972b8f77a0b

Tests are be organized per category basis, each category with its own directory. Additionally, the tests are categorized by the use of the following tags[2] by functional area:

• cpu - Exercises a system's CPU
• net - Exercises a system's network devices or networking stack
• storage - Exercises a system's local storage
• fs - Exercises a system's file system

Tags by architecture:

• x86_64 - Requires a x86_64 architecture
• power - Requires a Power architecture

Tags by access privileges:

• privileged - requires the test to be run with the most privileged, unrestricted privileges. For Linux systems, this usually means the root account
