avocado-vt is the one I use for installation tests.  It can do a lot 
more, including migration, but it is a bit hard to set up.

avocado-qemu (python/qemu and tests/acceptance in the QEMU tree) is a 
lot simpler, but it does not have a lot of tests and in particular it is 
not integrated with kvm-unit-tests.

Maxim also wrote a script to automate his tests which has quite a few 
features, but I've never used it myself.
