Dec 1, 2025December 2025: RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests focused on stabilizing the kernel feature test suite, improving reliability and CI feedback. Delivered KSM test stabilization by re-enabling the test after a bug fix and introduced a Jira-ticket-based fixture to mark certain machine-type tests as expected failures, enabling conditional skipping. These changes reduce flakiness, accelerate validation of kernel features, and tie test behavior directly to Jira-issued issues.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 highlights for RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests: delivered key virtualization test infrastructure enhancements focused on memory overcommit validation, CPU hotplug reliability, and PSI metrics instrumentation. Implemented end-to-end memory overcommit tests comparing guest memory requests with VM allocations, added a reusable memory-overcommit helper, and reorganized fixtures to remove obsolete ones. Stabilized CPU hotplug tests by disabling the VMX CPU feature through conditional flags for reliable behavior on RHEL. Enhanced PSI metrics tests by extracting data retrieval into a reusable fixture and refactoring assertions for maintainability. These changes increase test coverage, reliability, and actionable telemetry, accelerating validation of resource-management features in OpenShift virtualization.
