As long-running applications, they are susceptible to software aging. Hypervisors offer so-called hypercall interfaces for communication with the hosted virtual machines. These interfaces require thorough robustness to assure performance, security, and reliability. Existing research either deals with the aging properties of hypervisors in general without considering the hypercalls or focuses on finding hypercall-related vulnerabilities. In this work, we discuss open challenges regarding hypercall interfaces. To address these challenges, we propose an extensive framework architecture to perform robustness testing on hypercall interfaces. This framework supports extensive test campaigns as well as the modeling of hypercall interfaces.
