One strategy for delivering software of the highest quality is practicing Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD). While CI/CD is a relatively common quality assurance practice among software applications, it is much more difficult to use with low-level software such as kernel and embedded applications.

There are many existing virtualization solutions, but few of them are well suited for use in CI. For this reason, we developed Transient, an open-source QEMU-wrapper focused on ease-of-use within a CI/CD pipeline. Ultimately, Transient makes testing applications on virtualized hardware a much more simple and painless endeavour.
