</div>Autotest is used by the Linux kernel (its main claim to<br>
fame), and is also used by KVM.<br>
<br>
STAF seems to have originally been an IBM internal<br>
project that was open sourced. Seems to have been around<br>
for years.<br>
<br>
Haven't yet looked at further alternatives, as I was<br>
mostly expecting Autotest to be ok. Wrongly it turns out. :(<br>
<br>
It would be wise to do some proper investigation/shortlisting<br>
of potential frameworks before immediately jumping into<br>
an investigation of STAF.<br>

</div>The Ceph project used Autotest some time ago as well, but<br>
it didn't meet their needs so they created their own:<br>

I looked over Teuthology quickly, and it seems decent but it's very<br>
Ceph oriented/optimised. Not a general purpose thing we could pick<br>
up and use without extensive modification. :(<br>
