In the course of the past year, the functional tests of the QEMU project have completely been rewritten: Instead of using the Avocado test runner and its libraries, the tests have been adapted to the meson test runner with newly implemented, more lightweight library functions instead. This talk will show why this huge effort has been made, and talk about the hurdles and design decision that we took to get to the final goal.
