Xen is an interesting and useful technology    
that has made virtualization features normally 
found only in high-end systems more widely     
available. Such technology, however, demands   
stability, since all virtual machines running  
on a single system are dependent on its        
functioning properly. Our paper will focus on  
the methods we are employing to test Xen, and  
how it differs from normal Linux testing. We   
will also discuss the tests we are using and   
creating and the automation tools we are       
developing to allow testers and developers     
working on Xen to easily run automated tests.
