user story¶

As a test developer of long running tests I want to create intermediate qemu snapshots to speed up test development

acceptance criteria¶

• qemu snapshots can be created using a command from tests
• a new job can continue from the snapshot using "SKIPTO=…"

tasks¶

• research how qemu snapshots are created
• add command to testapi (or "test debugging api"?) to make snapshot at specific point
• extend documentation

further notes¶

example: "livecdreboot" is a long running test. It would be helpful if snapshots could be created e.g. when the "reboot now" window is detected (and stopped).
