LISA is developed and maintained by Microsoft, to empower Linux validation.

Linux Integration Services Automation (LISA)

|CI Workflow| |GitHub license| |Docs|

Linux Integration Services Automation (LISA) is a Linux quality validation system, which consists of two parts:

  • A test framework to drive test execution.
  • A set of test suites to verify Linux kernel/distribution quality.

LISA was originally designed and implemented for Microsoft Azure and Windows HyperV platforms; now it can be used to validate Linux quality on any platforms if the proper orchestrator module is implemented.

Why LISA

  • Scalable: Benefit from the appropriate abstractions, LISA can be used to test the quality of numerous Linux distributions without duplication of code implementation.

  • Customizable: The test suites created on top of LISA can be customized to support different quality validation needs.

  • Support multiple platforms: LISA is created with modular design, to support various of Linux platforms including Microsoft Azure, Windows HyperV, Linux bare metal, and other cloud based platforms.

  • End-to-end: LISA supports platform specific orchestrators to create and delete test environment automatically; it also provides flexibility to preserve environments for troubleshooting if test(s) fails.

Contribute

You are very welcome to contribute to this repository. Please follow the contribution document <https://mslisa.rtfd.io/en/main/contributing.html>__ for details.

History and road map

The previous LISA called LISAv2, which is in the master branch <https://github.com/microsoft/lisa/tree/master>. The previous LISA can be used standalone or called from the current LISA. Learn more from how to run LISAv2 test cases <https://mslisa.rtfd.io/en/main/run_test/run_legacy.html>.

LISA is in active developing, and a lot of exciting features are being implemented. We’re listening to your feedback <https://github.com/microsoft/lisa/issues/new>__.
