The Xen Project uses a bespoke Continuous Integration system, osstest. This system has a number of unique architectural features that make it flexible and powerful. In this talk, I'll take you through some of these, such as: the distributed job scheduler; the standalone vs. infrastructure abstraction; and some of the more advanced command-line interfaces useful in infrastructure installations.
