Yes, I think hardware and how to manage hardware is really an issue.

CI/BVT has three parts: 1. The test framework. Currently, it's Marvin, it's open sourced since beginning. 2. The test cases, some of them are open sourced, some are not. The open sourced test cases can cover basic functionality. 3. The test infrastructure: e.g. how to install hypervisors, how to manage IP address assigned to hypervisors etc. This part, Citrix has Some python/shell scripts to manage these, not sure the status of these code, maybe open sourced somewhere. I think it's not the only way to manage hardware, Don't need to depend on Citrix's code.
So we need hardware and a layer to manage these hardware. > > -- > Erik
