Hi, during the weekend I was at RedHat DevConf and I had a lightning talk about openQA there. Afterwards, I spoke with various guys and found out, that they are working on their testing solutions as well, although not focused on GUI apps as openQA is. General feedback from them was that they like it and they'll take a look at it again at some point and why does it have to be in perl (I guess there are people that don't like this language for some reason) :-D One of the solutions they have already is Igor (more info bellow). It injects the service to run the tests and uses PXE to boot testing machines. Therefor it is not limited to virtual machines, but can do real hardware as well. It also has a support for libvirt. It's not something that we can merge into openQA right a way, but might be worth keeping an eye on it and maybe at some point we can help each other... ----- Forwarded message from Fabian Deutsch -----
Hey Michal,
we talked a bit about testing a distribution over a beer at devconf 2014.
I just wanted to drop you two links: repo: https://github.com/fabiand/igor/ info: http://dummdida.tumblr.com/tagged/igor
At the second link you can find a couple of posts (I recommend the one including the video) describing igor.
As also noted yesterday I haven't got a plan how we can align or cooperate - but maybe we find something in the future :)
Greetings fabian
