  Summary of Objectives for Precise
  
  1) Daily Smoke Testing of Ubuntu AMI's
  Triggered from cloud image query information.
  Should cover all images.
  Check that they boot.
  Verify each AMI once only.
  
  2) Daily AMI testing for the development release
  Precise should implement daily image testing using basic smoke test to ensure that the AMI is always usable during the development cycle.
  
  3) Daily Testing of Cloud Images
  In addition to the published AMI's, we should implement testing of the generic cloud images on the following cloud platforms:
  Eucalyptus
      Eucalyptus Community Cloud?
  OpenStack - including KVM and LXC and Xen
      Canonistack?
      FreeCloud (NTT and RackSpace)?
  
  4) Full Testing of Release Ubuntu Images
  Automated testing will be built into the twice weekly image release publishing process and will cover:
    a) An initial smoke test
    b) Followed by full image testing
  Testing will likely be implemented using Jenkins and published to jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com.
