[Blueprint servercloud-p-iso-install-testing] Ubuntu Server ISO Testing

[James Page]

Blueprint changed by James Page:

Whiteboard changed:
+ Update 20111001:
+ 
+ Current ISO testing framework has been frozen; its not really
+ maintainable past its current function in its current form.
+ 
+ Framework will be re-factored to be more re-usable as part of work in
+ the QA team.
+ 
+ Work items that depend on new features postponed until precise+1.
+ Requirements will be fed to the QA team.
+ 
+ ============================
+ 
  Summary of Objectives for Precise:
  
  1) Fill gaps in current server ISO testing scope
  - Multi LVM layout test
  - RAID tests
  - iSCSI root tests
  
  2) Automated testing of preseeded network installations using orchestra
  - Cover mini.iso testing for all supported releases.
  
  3) Separate ubuntu-server-iso-testing into framework and tests
  - Easier management of tests without rebuilding packages
  - Support for multiple releases much easier.
  
  4) Investigate frameworks for testing the actual installation experience
