Description : Framework for automated testing
Avocado is a next generation testing framework inspired by Autotest and modern development tools such as git.
It is a set of tools and libraries to help with automated testing. One can call it a test framework with benefits. Native tests are written in Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve as a test.
The main features are:
* Multiple result formats (human-readable/xUnit/JSON/TAP)
* Job Replay to reproduce a given job
* Job Diff to compare several aspects of two given jobs
* Plugin system for framework extension
* Utility libraries to perform basic operations like process execution, system information obtain, package management, etc
* Good documentation available: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest
Current packaging state can be found at https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/tree/master/contrib/packages/debian
We plan to maintain it and need a sponsor for the upload.
