Here is my guess at where this fits into QEMU's testing landscape:

Avocado can help us write a new kind of test - functional (acceptance)
tests - that run full-blown guest operating systems, invoke shell
commands inside guests, and also use QMP.  Avocado can probably test
guest OS installation and boot.

There is some overlap with what exists in tests/ today, but I guess it
won't replace check (unit tests), qtests, or qemu-iotests.

Is this how you envision Avocado usage in QEMU?
