I'm new to openQA. I have devoured and digested the openQA docs: Getting Started, Installing, Writing Tests, etc. I have openQA installed and running on an openSUSE 13.2 box. From the “Getting Started” documentation I ran the “/usr/share/openqa/script/fetchneedles” script that downloaded the openSUSE tests and needles and loaded the “/var/lib/openqa/tests/opensuse/templates” file. From the “Getting Started” document under sub-heading “Adding a new ISO to test” I followed the example there to the test.

But what I am really interested in is running just the “...opensuse/tests/x11regressions/firefox” tests. How can I manually run this subset? Is there a way via the client command to tell it to just run a specific set of tests? Or how exactly is this done?

There is a main.pm file in the opensuse/ directory. This seems to be the entry point for running the tests. Do I modify this file to control which tests are run, which are not by setting various variables?

There is so much that seems vague especially to a newbie. The docs should be updated to eliminate any confusion.

Thank you for any help you can give.
