Getting started

Provium is a KVM-backed test harness for kernel and system code. You write tests in Lua, and they run inside real virtual machines against a real Linux kernel.

Install Provium, configure a profile, write a first test, and run it. Five minutes from a clean checkout to a passing test.

A Provium project is a directory with provium.toml, one or more test roots holding *.test.lua and *.fixture.lua files, and a per-user fixture cache. Nothing else is needed.
