why haven't there been any openQA runs on Factory and 13.1? At Beta/RC time it is more important than ever and there are e.g. problems net-installing the Xfce desktop post-Beta1 where openQA would really be helpful.
In spring the openSUSE team made a sprint to enhance openQA to make it even more useful for release testing. We mostly succeeded¹²³. Unfortunately we ran out of time to implement proper user managment. Since this new version allows interactive editing and rescheduling of tests in the web interface that is pretty much mandatory to run openQA in public though. So at the moment we have to run our release tests on a private instance unfortunately. That is a pity of course as we could really use more hands to evaluate and fix the test results. So we hope to be able to address this in the future.
Meanwhile contributions are welcome nevertheless of course. Running your own instance should be rather easy if you have a sufficiently powerful machine. There's a tutorial in os-autoinst how to install openQA from packages[4].

hmm, that is dreadfully disappointing
I consider openQA an important community service, and it's sad to think that it's no longer available to the community. As a regular tester of openSUSE, I find it invaluable to have a reference to compare a lot of my own tests against. If I no longer have that, my ability to test openSUSE is going to be hindered.
I appreciate the effort the openSUSE Team made to improve openQA, but if the situation really is that the community cant use openQA at all now unless they install it themselves, then I'm really not sure we can call the current situation an 'improvement'
Given I cant see how the new openQA works, forgive me if this is a stupid suggestion, but surely a public view of the results from openQA wouldn't need any editing, rescheduling or user management.. can we have that added/restored to openQA and have the openSUSE openQA instance restored as a community service as soon as possible?

Not very transparent for the openSUSE user that does a lot of testing. I very much appreciate seeing what openQA does not to mention the ideas it may give us for future improvement. -- Cheers!
