+
+## Overview
+This test validates the reboot functionality of the Guest VM. It issues a reboot command via `virsh` and ensures the VM returns to a running state.
+
+### The test checks for:
+- Successful execution of `virsh reboot`.
+- VM returning to **"running"** state.
+
+## Usage
+### Quick Example
+```bash
+cd /var/Runner/suites/Kernel/Virtualization/Kvm-Reboot
+./run.sh
+```
+
+### Result Format
+Test result will be saved in Kvm-Reboot.res.

+# Kvm-Setup Test
+© Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
+SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause-Clear
+
+## Overview
+This test case initializes the KVM environment by defining the Virtual Machine using an XML configuration and starting the domain. It verifies that the VM transitions to the `running` state.
+
+### The test checks for:
+- Successful **definition** of the VM from `vm.xml`.
+- Successful **start** command execution.
+- Verification that the VM state is **"running"**.
+
+## Usage
+### Instructions:
+1. Ensure the `vm.xml` and guest image files are present in `/var/gunyah/`.
+2. Navigate to the test directory.
+3. Run the script.
+
+### Quick Example
+```bash
+cd /var/Runner/suites/Kernel/Virtualization/Kvm-Setup
+./run.sh
+```
+
+### Prerequisites
+1. virsh tool must be installed.
+2. Gunyah hypervisor must be enabled.
+3. Root access is required.
+
+### Result Format
+Test result will be saved in Kvm-Setup.res.
+
+### Output
+Kvm-Setup PASS OR Kvm-Setup FAIL
