Looks like some individuals and teams inside SUSE have coincidentally decided to give a hand to openQA development in the following weeks. It seems like a nice opportunity to put the focus into the things we miss for Yast testing. According to a meeting this morning, next goal will be to have openQA running on different architectures. We expect Dinar Valeev to make it run in POWER next week (shouldn't be a big deal). There are also chances of Bernhard Wiedemann putting some effort into bringing the real hardware (kvm2usb) support back. Once we have tests for POWER running succesfully, the next big thing would be aggregate the results of different architectures in just one openQA webUI (right now, workers and webUI must share the filesystem, which means a separate host with its webUI per architecture). The cheap way would be some mechanism for exporting/importing results, so we simply integrate the results of the POWER openQA into the main one. The really good way would be having distributed workers with just one central point for coordination and webUI. The former openSUSE team never had enough time and manpower to do that and always considered this to be a nice use case for SUSE's cloud technologies. Looks like now the Cloud Team, Dinar and some people from QA are eager to help in that regard. The goal of this mail is not only reporting what can we expect from the nearest future, but to collect more ideas. According to our recent thread about integration tests, we also want: - VNC (already implemented, actually). - Resurrect the OCR support. - Use cloud for parallelism and snapshots (already considered, as explained above). - Tree of requirements/snapshots, with information how to get to every state. - Improved debugging capabilities. I'd say that most of them (if not all) are already in the openQA project tracker. But there are way too many things there, so we need to rise the relevant things up. https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/issues?per_page=100 So, time for wish-listing :-) Cheers.
