[opensuse-factory] openQA - Running tests question
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/083142570ba918ac15f029ed42c9de24.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'm very new to openQA and am trying to learn how to use this tool using the provided documentation. But it seams there are gaps in the docs that would tie everything together in a clear manor. Following the directions in the openQA Getting Started doc: In the section titled "Testing openSUSE" I ran the /usr/share/openqa/script/fetchneedles script as stated and then the "/var/lib/openqa/tests/opensuse/templates --apikey xxx --apisecret xxx" script under the "Getting openQA configuation" section as stated. I noticed that this templates command copied down a bunch of files including test scripts and put them in /var/lib/openqa/tests/.... After downloading an ISO to /var/lib/openqa/factory/iso directory, according to the subsection titled "Adding a new iso to test" I can run a test by issuing the "/usr/share/openqa/script/client ..." command, correct? But would if I just want to run the firefox tests located in "/var/lib/openqa/tests/opensuse/tests/x11regressions/firefox/sle12/..." ? How would I go about running these? I would also be interested in any other documentation that may exist that is more complete or even video showing examples on how to set up and run openQA tests. Thank you, Charles Robertson

Yes, correct.
