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

Linux Integration Services Automation (LISA)

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.
