Description Thomas Haller 2015-05-14 12:43:25 UTC 
Upstream has some unit tests (run via `make check`)

It would be great to have some more elaborate tests that run NetworkManager (in a VM or container) and test that NM behaves correctly.


We (RH internal) already have some tests that use python/behave. Would be great to upstream them, and make it simple to run them locally in a virtual machine.

Tests from Ubuntu see bug 700823

moving to 1.4.

Will not happen for 1.2, and is anyway an ongoing effort.
Comment 4 Thomas Haller 2017-09-22 13:39:36 UTC 
We have our CI tests now upstream, and they also run on CentosCI.

These tests are precisely intended, that somebody could setup his own test infrastructure (upstream) and contribute tests.

Surely there is still lots to improve, but this bug doesn't help tracking that effort. Closing.
