AI BriefingShow GN: test-foundry – A QEMU-based Windows VM testing tool (supports kernel driver / UEFI app testing)
Key point
A tool that automates driver and UEFI testing of Windows VMs using QEMU.
Details
test-foundry is a QEMU-based Windows guest automated testing tool.
It is specifically designed to handle kernel/filesystem driver and UEFI application testing—which are trickier to deal with than regular applications—across the entire VM boot flow.
Key features are as follows.
- VM setup and snapshot-based test execution
- Guest control via WinRM/SSH
- File upload/download
- screenshot collection
- panic detection
- memory dump collection (minidump format)
- A preboot step (
efi-add-file) that modifies the EFI filesystem
With YAML-based step definitions, you can reproduce scenarios such as:
- Rebooting after driver installation
- BSOD detection
- UEFI boot file replacement
Currently it is focused on Windows guests, and Linux guest support remains a TODO.
