A single randomized test can take the place of a large number of single function tests. For something like the balloon driver, I think this would work best in concert with a larger test program that actually checked the results of ballooning through different mechanism (via /proc/xen/balloon, xm set-mem, or writing to the store directly). The procpipe code I submitted yesterday would be an excellent way to coordinate this. If you'd like, we can take this offline and develop a procpipe based balloon testsuite that really stresses all interfaces for the balloon driver.
