Ubuntu Server ISO Testing
Automated ISO testing runs daily during the current development cycle; we need to re-align to cover more types of install testing including better LVM, RAID and iSCSI root testing and cover new aspects of Ubuntu Server such as Orchestra.

Whiteboard
Update 20111001:
Current ISO testing framework has been frozen; its not really maintainable past its current function in its current form.
Framework will be re-factored to be more re-usable as part of work in the QA team.
Work items that depend on new features postponed until precise+1. Requirements will be fed to the QA team.
=======
Summary of Objectives for Precise:
1) Fill gaps in current server ISO testing scope
- Multi LVM layout test
- RAID tests
- iSCSI root tests
2) Automated testing of preseeded network installations using orchestra
- Cover mini.iso testing for all supported releases.
3) Separate ubuntu-
- Easier management of tests without rebuilding packages
- Support for multiple releases much easier.
4) Investigate frameworks for testing the actual installation experience
