Do you know where one can go to see what's being tested?
TL;DR: Yes, Greg already described it, read again :-) Greg just posted a very nice introduction of how you can get it from openQA but I will try again to explain that maybe from a slightly different perspective even though this would be a more appropriate topic for "opensuse- factory".
Starting from http://openqa.opensuse.org/ you can see what products are currently tested, e.g. Tumbleweed - as a DVD image from Factory snapshot, as well as updates for the releases of e.g. openSUSE 13.2 and openSUSE Leap 42.1. Selecting any Tumbleweed build, say https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?distri=opensuse&version=Tumbleweed&build=20160205&groupid=1 you can see a table with a column "Test" describing individual scenarios next to green, not-so-green and red bubbles under the column "x86_64", probably the architecture you are interested in. The test scenarios as stated describe which "scenarios" are tested, e.g. starting from top a "RAID0" installation and such. Other scenarios go further than installing trying out if applications work, e.g. "gnome" also testing browsers, etc.. Click on the bubbles to find out what steps exactly are executed in which scenario. If you are interested if a certain application is working fine, say "firefox", this is tested for each Tumbleweed snapshot, as well as e.g. gnucash. So you can be sure that basic functionality is tested every time. If one would encounter a serious issue in one of these applications and it is missed by the openQA tests, feel free to help providing these tests.
Thanks for the explanation and the pointers Oliver - I have occasionally been playing with the idea of creating some test cases, but I've not really tried hard enough. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
