* test-tool: Refresh libguestfs-test-tool man page.Richard Jones2011-09-161-12/+24

* test-tool: Make the default timeout be 600 seconds (10 minutes).Richard Jones2011-09-161-3/+2
| | | | | | | We could sometimes hit the 120 second timeout, eg. if the appliance needed to be rebuilt and the machine was very slow and/or under heavy I/O load. 10 minutes should be enough for any reasonable situation. (cherry picked from commit 912284b02e28bd63bdf3397ef841b9782adfd2cd)

* test-tool: Don't use static binary helper program, nor ISO.Richard W.M. Jones2011-04-061-23/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This simplifies the libguestfs-test-tool program down to essentials. Bugs most commonly occur when starting the appliance, so what we should concentrate on test is just that. Previously the test tool built a special static binary helper program, packaged it up in an ISO, then ran this inside the appliance. None of this really tested useful failure modes, but they did make the test tool itself harder to build, harder for users to run, and more brittle. This change also adds some more debugging of libguestfs state.
* Add libguestfs-test-tool.Richard Jones2009-07-221-0/+136
This is an end-user testing tool, designed to test basic functionality of libguestfs/qemu/kernel combination on the end-user's final host machine. It does not perform a thorough test, but should be enough to find most booting issues. Also this is intended to be used when reporting bugs.
